We had some good luck with the animals today. First, one of the bears was hanging out near the water again so we got some good close up views of it.

The zebras were all hanging out by the front fence instead of hiding in the hut today.

The meerkats were running around playing.

One of the gorillas was the most active I've ever seen at our zoo. He was actually playing a little.

George, the baby chimp, was full of energy and kept trying to climb up at the window to see people.


Today was the first time that Carter actually seemed to see the animals. He'd point at them and do a little scream (sort of like he does when he sees a dog when we're out walking or running). Taking him to the zoo is going to be so much more fun now that he'll get something out of it. And he stayed awake the whole two hours we were there (I think that's a first).
Carter dressed up in his fall clothes for a walk after dinner tonight ...
Carter finally seems to be over his cold. His last day with a runny nose was Sunday. Besides having a fever a few times, this illness wasn't too bad.
I've been trying to get better about not letting Carter have his paci other than for naps and at night. I had let him have it a lot when he was sick so that he didn't put as much other stuff in his mouth that I would then touch (I still used a TON of hand sanitizer when he was sick). Here's a picture of him trying to get a paci he saw on top of this table ...

Here's a funny picture from the other day. I turned away from Carter for about 10 seconds and when I looked back, he had cheese on his head.
