Milla the Monkey...

First a lost picture from the trip... this was breakfast the first morning before Sea World... mom just thinks it's a super cute picture. I was THRILLED to eat breakfast at the table downstairs without a high chair...


Mom didn't think she was going to have any pictures to post today... we did end up going to swim class today and I did great, but we didn't take any pictures...

Tonight I figured out a new skill...



I know lots of my friends mastered this skill a long time ago, but being short and our couches being high... I'm excited to finally have it mastered!


Now I can lounge on the couch with Maggie...


and jump on the couch...


And dive bomb off the side...


About that time dad decided to scoot my kangaroo climber over next to the couch... SO fun!


Now I have a whole obstacle course...





Can I climb out the window too?


All that climbing was exhausting!

Home Again...

Keep reading after this post... Mom got our entire vacation posted!

This morning I helped pack up the hotel room...


Bunny helped too...


I even helped daddy bring up the luggage cart...


"Weee..."


Look what we saw on the drive up to Austin... cute huh?


We stopped in Austin to have lunch with Aunt Rinny...


It was great to get out of the car and stretch my legs...


Coloring...


This restaurant is a GREAT place for toddlers!


Kisses from Aunt Rinny...


one last picture of us before we headed home...


We are home, the first round of laundry is in the dryer and Maggie is THRILLED to be back from doggie daycare... she got all "A's" on her report card and the staff said she was the perfect camper!

Now we just have to wait out this swine flu scare... we are thinking about skipping swimming lessons and our Mom's League meeting on Friday... sounds like we'll be having a sleepy end to daddy's vacation!

San Antonio Zoo...

I was SO ready to go to the zoo on Tuesday that I asked daddy to put on my shoes...

Rock star!


This was my vacation walk the entire trip...


"What do you mean I'm not dressed?"


Much better!


I enjoyed watching some new cartoons like The Wiggles and Olivia while on vacation...


Mom loves this picture... such a toddler pose!


So ready to push the button that I actually walk down the hallway with my finger out...


Me and my daddy at the San Antonio Zoo...


Waving to the bears... (yes I continued to wave to everything all day)...


Bears! One of the words I know really well...


"Oooohhhh"...


I love my daddy...


Komodo dragons!


Next we walked through the butterfly exhibit... look one landed on me (I wasn't thrilled)...


Much better to watch instead of have them on me...


This one is HUGE!


Such a pretty place for a picture!


Look at the pretty blue one...


Can you tell which ones are the picture and which ones are the real butterflies?


"Where are we going next?"


Mommy's favorite... hippos!


She loved being able to watch them swim...


"Ok mommy I see why you love them so much"...


Waving "hi" to all the kids there on field trips...


Daddy's favorite.... the rhino...


Sweet elephant...


See him smiling?


Daddy feeding me ice while we tried to cool off (San Antonio is much hotter than Fort Worth)...


Me and my daddy checking out the zebra and giraffe...


Stealing daddy's sunglasses... I'm only interested in adult sunglasses (maybe because my head is so big)...


Tired of getting me in and out of the stroller, daddy finally lifted me up to see the warthog...


Lions...


and tigers...


and silly kangaroos!


I tried to get in the kangaroo exhibit...


We finally found the toddler play area... a great place to cool off...


Books about animals...


and a fun play area...

"I'll ring you up right here"...


How neat is that?


Climbing in a hole to check out the prairie dogs...


Look how HUGE this turtle is!


Black leopard...


More ice...


"Can we go by the flamingos again?"


Flamingos!


Baby cage! I'm the exhibit now!


After a nap we headed to Cheesecake Factory... I was a teething mess (but at least I had a cute dress)...


Dancing with daddy on the booth...


Digging on that tooth that is breaking through...


When we got home mommy gave me a double stuffed oreo... YUMMY!


SO good!


Oreo smile...


I made a mess, but I loved it!


See my mess!


"Ok mommy... clean me up"
