One of Ellie's new favorite activities is to put things onto a surface and then take then down, then put them back up... then take them back down.
She entertained herself for a good 20 minutes at a recent wedding doing this. Ellie found one of the boxes that held wedding favors and proceeded to put it on a chair, then set it on the floor, then back up on the chair. You get the idea.
At the doctor's office the other day, when we were waiting a long time, she used papers and lifted them up and down from the floor to the top of the diaper bag. And below she's picking up her blocks and putting them on a chair in the living room.
Maybe I'm not giving the game as much credit as I should. She makes it look pretty fun...
Another of her favorite things/places is the zoo at the park right by our house. We we've been there more days than not in the past week! Usually we spend most of our time playing in the water fountains near the entrance — from which she came back completely soaked yesterday! But we've also gone through and looked at the animals. I'm very impressed by what's there in this small zoo.
Not sure this picture does it justice, but this turtle is huge! I didn't think it was real at first, until it turned its head toward us.
And here's a baby wallaby in the zoo's Australia exhibit. The exhibit is so cool because you walk through a fenced area and the wallabies are just bouncing around right by you, across the path and everything.
They've also got emus, something called screaming dogs, a bald eagle, monkeys and lots of farm animals — including baby goats, which Ellie was brave enough to reach out and pet.
The exhibit with the river otters includes this tunnel that goes underneath the water, so you can see the otter swimming around. Ellie wasn't too sure about it...
And the most fierce animals of all: Radar and Muzzy! Couldn't resist this cute picture of our "first babies."
