To celebrate, we took Damen out to the zoo for his first time. For the last year, the zoo's been making way for a new penguin exhibit. Charlie's ever so excited, seeing as he's never witnessed real live penguins, and we'd heard they'd arrived. So, off we went. The penguins were there, alright. However, they were not on display. In fact, they had just arrived in Syracuse and are currently in quaratine until the exhibit is finished. Which should be in the next month. Oh well, no penguins this time. So, to compensate, we bought him a small beanie baby penguin which we've loving named Packard. (Okay, I know that Damen doesn't understand what was even going on, and certainly doesn't comprehend the disappointment of not being able to see the penguins. But as young, first time parents, we can pretend.) Packard is now an extension of my son's arm.
Today, on the actual day of his becoming 6 months, we had his pictures taken. Although we did of course order quite a bit of pictures, I also bought the photos on cd, which allows me to show them immediately and do as I will with all the poses, not just those in which we paid for. I wish I'd thought of this before! There were a few poses I wish I'd bought when he was 3 months. Looking forward, I shall have to keep this cd thing in mind!
Say hello to Damen (and Packard)
There are, of course, four more poses. But I don't want to slow down everyone's computers! So, that's all (for now). Ciao!
