Brody's First Visit to the Zoo

Today, everyone in my family, except my mother and I, went to the zoo. It was kind of hot today and I was wondering how Brody would do in all that heat. They said he did awesome! They were there for almost 2 hours and he was smiling and laughing and having a really good time! They said he was so good! The sent me the picture below of the kids sitting on a rhino statue!

Also, Brody had another first today....he took a nap in his crib! YAY! (While it is technically not his first time, it is definitely his first time in a while!) He slept for about an hour, my sister said. An hour is good...I will take an hour. She sent me the picture below at work and her subject line said: SUCCESS!! (look at my little man's chunky thighs....I think that is where all of the food he is eating is going! :)

I don't know what she did, but I guess it comes from having 2 kids of her own, and transitioning one to the crib after she slept in her swing for the first couple months of her life! :) I figured that this week would be a little more difficult to start something new with him considering all the people in the house so I told my dad that we would try the crib next week...atleast in the afternoon and see what happens. I was reading on the internet (Yes, that damn internet again!) about taking baby steps with him. They suggested putting him in the crib for 5 minutes to start out, then 10, then 15 and so on until he gets used to it. Christy said she did the same thing with Ashleigh too! I mean, I can't believe it is this difficult considering he goes to sleep in the crib at night with no problem! I guess we will see what happens!

He is down for the night and I am off to bed! Good night! :)
