Best Day Ever

Yesterday was my birthday and it was just wonderful. Cory took off work and we headed off to the Hogle Zoo! Sophie pretty much had no idea what was going on... except for watching the monkeys.


Is that a giraffe or a Soph??
Being compared to the size of an infant gorilla...





Watching the baby elephant run through the water
She did not care about the gorillas...
She think's daddy's more funny...
They had fruit bats... so they said you couldn't go in the exhibit if you had fruit that day. We assured them we didn't... after we walked out we realized Soph just had pear juice. Geeeez, good thing she didn't get attacked by a bat!

Loving the zoo


Carousel...

All by herself!






Huge skunk
Vulture

She think's Cory and I are so much funnier than all the animals.
You can't tell, but she totally loved them.
She is just too cool for those sun glasses...
I could just eat her. I freaking love this little girl.
Daddy bought her an elephant. It was actually really funny. In the store they were playing The Beatles "I wanna hold your hand" and this is what Soph did when Cory handed her the elephant. Ha!

Probably her favorite part of the zoo...
And the main attraction! These little girls just LOVED Soph! They couldn't get enough of her :)

So, that was yesterday. We got home at 10pm, gave her a bath, and she fell right asleep. She woke up this morning at 9:30... went back down for a nap at 11 and it's 1:30 and she still hasn't woken up. I think she's pooped :)

All in all it was a fantastic birthday. My husband sure does treat me well. I woke up to the whole kitchen decorated in balloons, streamers, and wonderful gifts.
Cory got me a Beach Cruiser! I've totally been wanting a bike and I love it. He also got me a nifty thing to hook on the back so Soph can ride with me :) Also, My parents got me a sewing machine and the cutest sewing box and kit. I don't even know how to sew but I'm going to learn! And, Sophie, well.... she gave me a blowout in her diaper :) She sure knows how to show her love.

Anyway... I've been DREADING turning 25... but it actually hasn't been that bad :)

Happy belated birthday! I was kind of freaked out to turn 25 too, but I guess it's not sot bad. I'm glad you had such a fun day at the zoo. I have aspirations to learn to sew, but I haven't actually invested in a sewing maching yet. You'll have to let me know how that goes. Your little Sophie is darling.
