Another trip to the zoo and Logan's Lemonade Cake


"What is this zoo thing of which you speak?"
 


We went back to Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield on March 24th. It was a nice day a little cool out but a beautiful day still. We went to Bass Pro after the zoo trip which Logan didn't mind but didn't enjoy quite as much. We went into the zoo with socks and shoes on, during the course of the day he took his shoes off, we caught him doing that so we have them, then he took his socks off and lost them and we never did find them even though we backtracked...so he liked it so much he left a little piece of himself there I guess.


"Oh! There are animals here! How exciting!" Just look at that hair!



"Let me in! Let me in!"



Dancing in his stroller at the ticket window.


Loving the flamingo exhibit, you get to get up pretty close to them.



"Those birds are pretty cool!"



One of the swans, he was putting on pretty good show swimming around.



The goat who tried to eat Logan's stroller last time. Hmmmn.


Logan after we looked at the kangaroos.


One of the foxes.


The otter swimming in his pool.



The lions relaxing in the sun



We take him to the zoo and the most exciting part of his day is when we give him his ring. Yes his ring. His favorite thing ever, lol.



"I've had enough zoo now I want to leave."



He had his picture taken with a lamb a few days ago so waiting on getting those back and I'll post them then.
Found another cake recipe idea for his birthday it's a lemonade cake. It has lemonade, lemon zest, and lemon extract  in it. I dyed it blue but it turned green when mixed with the pink lemonade mix in the batter (yes that is what it called for but it would have made a PINK cake lol). I think it turned out pretty good, I dyed the icing too it's color turned out better.

The finished product.



A slice of the cake. I'm pretty proud of it lol.



And the taste test results are in and it is "YUMMY!"


Ok well time to go make dinner and keep uploading my Ipod music since my desktop crashed and erased everything. Nice.

Sir Cranky Pants

Logan has been up to a lot lately....crawling, jabbering, chewing on everything he can fit in his mouth, cruising, playing with the dogs, visiting Grandma & Papa's house when we're both working, playing with cousin Wes.....and today he's sick. So I'm typing one handed so he can have my other arm and entire lap to nap in.


After a bath awhile ago....he was showing me his dance moves in the crib...I just love this shot!



Eating his snowman duck he got at Christmas in his stocking from Mommy & Daddy.



Having Cheerios and peaches....the only way to eat peaches...he refuses them any other way...that and bananas but bananas are always refused....look closely at our little Oompa-Loompa!





"Hi! Oreos ROCK!!!!! But if you touch mine I'll bite your fingers off! Rawr!" He actually took that Oreo from Jeff and was in 7th Heaven lol!




"Ooh! You're letting me keep it....heh heh heh I knew I scared you!" 




"Oh sweet chocolatey goodness! I hear they make cakes with these things....can i have one for my birthday?"




With his blow-up lion from Target...now this provides HOURS of entertainment.





"Take THAT Mr. Lion! I'm TOUGH!" Lol!



So onto the sick little boy now in my lap....he's got a cold today, first one ever....cough, congestion, irritable, slight fever. Doesn't help that he's trying to cut some new teeth as well his gums over his upper canines are pretty swollen especially the left one. But Baby Tylenol, baby saline nasal spray, humidifier at full blast and only a diaper on have made him a little better. Plus he's refusing to leave my lap so we're rocking and listening to music making a new playlist for his blog.
Looking forward to St. Patrick's Day and Easter...and also Uncle Jeremy's boot camp graduation in April.
