Zoo trip... oooh is that a kitty?

For his birthday, we took the Colbster to the zoo for the first time in his short existence. At first, he wasn't all that impressed. He kept gazing more at the leafs rather than the actual animals. But in an hour or two, he was loving it!
He learned a super cute trick. When you raise your finger and say "Colby how old are you?" He'll lift up his tiny finger to show one! It made my heart melt. :)
He thought he was the coolest pushing his own stroller.


Look, its identical boys, just with a 20 something age difference. They both have the same eyebrow raise and everything.
Here he starts getting into the animals.

A random gorilla that was showing off its potato sack shawl. So pretty.


And why did he get so excited to see all the animals? Because they were 'kitties". He would point at each one saying over and over, saying "kitty."


Ok, yeah, technically this is a kitty, so I'll give it to him.
At least there's 'cat' in the word meercat.

.... uhm, not quite.
Yeah, not even close.

His favorite 'kitty'? This porcupine. He stood there jabbering at it.


He had a very awesome birthday!

  5. Yep. Grant and Colby are the same. My kids all look like their dad. Sometimes to the point of creepinss because some expressions will look so much like him. It's like looking at his face in miniature and without a goatee. Weird.

  6. What a big boy! Looks like you guys had a fun time!
    Katy says Dog but won't say kitty. So everything here is Dog, Dog, Dog. And of course she says it in a really deep voice so it's even cuter!

  8. That very same gorilla gave Rachel's preschool group a show when it grabbed a handfull of poop and ATE it. Bleeeech. Though Colby probably wouldn't have cared.

    He's losing that baby look. Starting to look like a real grown up boy. Sigh.
