First trip to the zoo!
Jordan went on her first trip to the zoo on Wednesday. It was quite a fun trip! Jordan still remembers it, I think, and talks about animals quite often. She could do the sign, say the name of, or make the sound for almost every animal we saw. It was really cute to see her watch the orangutans, all the while saying “monkey” and “oo oo oo!” We didn’t get many pictures, but I did manage to snap some of the animals we saw. They aren’t up on the site yet, but that will come soon. Anyway, we went to the LA zoo (that I didn’t even realize existed) with my good friend Yumi. It was fun, but quite a work out. There were lots of hills, and one of the animals Jordan is obsessed with right now was the farthest away. She loves hippos probably mainly because of the trick that Tracy taught her back during pumpkin carving night. She frequently opens her mouth as WIDE as she possibly can, and then says “EE poh” which is her way of saying hippo. So cute. I have to try and get it on tape at some point. Another thing I want to video is her singing and dancing. She now attempts to sing at least 3 different songs. “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, “Row Row Row Your Boat”, and “Rock-a-Bye Baby”. She doesn’t get all the words out, but she does motions to most of them, and gets at least a couple words here and there. Tonight she had Mike and I in stitches when we were listening to a CD of the Big Phat Band (Big Band music). She picked up a throw pillow that’s a Gingerbread Man (almost as big as she is) and she was dancing with it, twirling around in a circle, and twisting it around. So cute. Anyway, I must get to bed- work tomorrow- whee!
