Off to Seattle - again!

Mr. Independent loves to push his own stroller these days.

Walking up to the entrance. It was a cold day in Seattle, luckily I had packed Jaxon's winter coat. The only good thing about the weather is that we practically had the zoo all to ourselves.


Checking out the peacock.

Jason noting his strange resemblence to the gorilla.

Jaxon loved the bronze statues of the gorillas.

He had a great time seeing all of these animals come to life. He can now makes lots of animals noises and can tell you what a cow says, what a dog says, cat, lion, monkey, duck, sheep, goat, pig, and rooster.

Aunt Heidi was there too!

What a bunch of monkeys!

Jaxon loved wearing this eagle mask in the gift shop. We spent some time in the gift shop getting warm. I love that Jaxon isn't at that age yet where he know that he should want something :-) We just go shopping to play and then we leave all the toys at the store and he doesn't mind one bit (yet!)

I was taking another trip to Seattle for work, so Jason decided to take vacation and he and Jaxon would come along with me. We stayed an extra day (we were going to stay two days, but the weather just didn't cooperate, so we came home early) and we went to the zoo and took Jaxon around Seattle. We had another great trip, although it is getting much harder to keep Jaxon occupied and "confined" when nothing is baby proofed! He loves to run everywhere, and being in unfamiliar surroundings proved to be a little challenging. He did great on the car ride though - we traveled during the evening so he would sleep and he just slept the whole way there and the whole way back, which was nice! Here are few photos from our trip.
