Zoo Trip

Britton enjoyed a trip to the Zoo recently with his little friend, Alexandra. They rode around in a wagon and seemed to have a grand old time. Britton called all the animals "dagas" (doggies). And his favorite activity was dropping his sippy cup over the side and having strangers pick it up and bring it back to him. Here are a couple of pictures I took with my phone while we were there...

They got up close and personal with the tiger who was pacing back and forth in front of the glass.


He showed no fear in the petting zoo.

Time Out

Much to a certain little boy's chagrin, we have started time outs at our house. Britton usually goes to time out for two reasons ... 1) getting into the dog food (which he does with gusto) and, 2) escaping through the doggie door. A theme here, perhaps? He didn't know quite what was happening the first time he was timed out. But today when he got into the dog food, I told him to go to time out, and he stood up and walked his little self over to the time out mat by the front door. It was so cute, I had to take a picture of him. Of course, I tried to do so discreetly as not to interfere with the purpose of the whole thing, but he found me out. Had to share ...

Have Tunes, Will Travel

Here is Britton on a recent road trip head bobbin' to the Black Crowes:

Britton Throws the Ball

Britton loves throwing his ball. Here is a clip I took a month ago, but am just now getting it on the blog. I'm not quite sure why I followed the ball as it's thrown the first couple of times.

All ready for church!


This picture cracks me up. I asked for a smile and this is what I got.

Britton's Smiles

More pictures of Britton smiling ... imagine that??!! Here are a few more shots of Britton from the Botanical Gardens yesterday. This post could alternately be titled just plain "Teeth."

Finally ... A Pretty Day

We finally had a reprieve from the rainy days and thunderstorms we've had for weeks now. And that reprieve turned out to be a gorgeous and breezy 70-degree day! We headed over to the Botanical Gardens this afternoon and Britton got to run around in a wide open field of green grass. He was lovin' life.





















Me & my boy


Looks like tomorrow will be another pretty day. On the agenda ... the Zoo. I'm sure I'll take a picture or two. ;o)
