Trip to the Zoo

We had a fun trip last week with our American friends from Italy. My friend, Louise and her family lived in Bologna at the same time as us. They moved to France shortly before we moved back to the U.S. She's in Utah visiting her parents, and we had fun at the park and at the zoo together. One of the highlights was the baby giraffe.

I forgot my camera, so I have to say thanks to Louise for the cute pictures.
Aaron puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, of course. The special today was pine cones.
This is Louise and her youngest, Daniel.
This is Jullian sharing gold fish crackers with Aaron. The last time I saw Jullian he was barely one. He is quite the cute little boy now.
This is Lauren, Louise's oldest, standing with us in front of the giraffes. She has the same birthday as Aaron, and they were both born in Bologna.

Aaron has had a fall everyday for a few days where he gets new scrapes and bruises to his head.
I normally put shoes on Aaron, but this day I didn't. You can see the frightening result on the bottom of his foot.
These stairs are just outside our condo. Aaron absolutely loves to go up them twenty times a day. He hasn't figured out the going down part though.

Aaron eating a dandylion. I've given up trying to keep everything out of his mouth. I try harder about things he can really choke on, insects or other live critters, and really dirty things like dog poop. I figured a dandylion won't kill him.
