Tooth Fairy Time

Mikaela worked very hard to write the tooth fairy a note about her first tooth (covering all her bases - just in case that tooth got lost in the night!)

Mikaela Lost her First Tooth

By far the most exciting part of our trip to the zoo, was it was Mikaela's last outing with all her baby teeth!

"Mikaela has a loose tooth
a wiggly, jiggly, loose tooth
Mikaela has a loose tooth
and Daddy finally pulled it out!"

While in the gorilla exhibit (watching the adorable twin gorillas chase each other around - have to be boys:), climbing all over everything, teasing/taunting each other, etc.) - Mikaela let Daddy pull out her first tooth.

We were all celebrating, taking pictures, jumping up and down - surely the other guests thought we were a little over excited about the gorillas!

Zoo Atlanta

We spent the day at Zoo Atlanta on Saturday, September 27th for Educator Appreciation day (otherwise known as Daddy get in free day, and everyone else gets a discount day).

The weather was beautiful and we had a great day!

Mikaela loved the meerkats - http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_meerkat.htm

Xander's favorite (and Daddy's too) was the snakes - http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_snakes_wor.htm

Mommy loved watching the new panda cam - http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.php4

The new panda was just a few weeks old - and so cute!

Xander's Rock n Roll Music

His new rocker voice in his latest live living room performance!


The toe tapping really cracks me up

Horse Show

We spent the mid morning at the local tractor supply store (jealous all you city folks?) -

Mikaela loved the bunny rabbits (even I had to smile at the two week old bunnies in a pack n play!)

Xander loved riding the horse.

Sweet Sound

The only time the sound of a baby is sweet is a) when the baby is not yours AND b) the baby is only days old.
