Grandma Suanne volunteers at the Woodland Park Zoo and got to help with feeding the giraffes a couple of weeks ago. We went to the zoo and Anderson got to feed the giraffes with Grandma! Here are some pictures...
The giraffes eat big maple leaves.
It was pretty cool to see them this close!
Anderson wasn't nervous at all. He walked right up to give the giraffe the leaf.
Adeline is changing and developing so fast! Her sweet and gentle personality continues to radiate! We just love her to pieces...
She has started giggling! It's so fun to watch and hear. Anderson really got her going the other day when we were listening to some music. He just absolutely loves his sister and is very into playing with her. Sometimes it is a little difficult to help him understand that she is very fragile still. He loves it when she responds to him by watching him play, babbling with him, smiling, or laughing.
BTW the music you hear in the background is a gift from our dear friends, Andy and Joy, and it has classic kids' songs that are personalized with Adeline's name. So cool!! Great gift!
Anderson and Brad spend a lot of time outside in the backyard playing sports. Brad is very patient and encouraging. Anderson and Adeline are very lucky to have such a creative, attentive, and loving dad!! The games that Brad comes up with are so cool. Last night he made an obstacle course and the whole family competed. So fun!!
One of Anderson's favorite things to do is play sports...soccer, baseball, football, and a classic...croquet. We've said, from very early on, that if Anderson doesn't end up being some kind of big hitter (baseball or football) then we would be very surprised! Since he could walk he's loved to wrestle and tackle. It's nice to see him putting that energy and desire into a focused place. Here is some video of Anderson swinging the bat with dad...he's quite the athlete and a lefty (although he still switches sometimes)!!
No...the mountains didn't just get a dumping. I'm just a little late in posting some videos of Anderson skiing for the first time this past March at Snoqualmie. He picked it up really quickly and after about 45 minutes of practicing on the magic carpet Brad had him riding up the lift to practice on bigger bunny hills. We only took him up once last year but will hopefully get him skiing a few more times this coming season!
