Zoo Day

On Saturday Luke went to the zoo for the first time!

The Oregon Zoo was super crowded because everyone wanted to see the new baby elephant that had just been born earlier in the week. This was the first day the baby elephant would be on view. But we did not have time to wait in the long line.

Luke saw many other animals instead. Like this giraffe.

And a polar bear doing the backstroke.

And baboons.

Luke studied the baboon very closely.

Luke wanted to grab this Amazon fish! I think the fish wanted to grab Luke, too.

Seeing the bats hanging upside-down gave Luke an idea.

No babies were harmed in the making of this photo.

Luke is very comfortable being upside-down.

And a picture from today of Luke and Mama.

Luke was very smiley today. He has started to make a different kind of smiley face. He'll crinkle up his nose, show his upper gums, and squint his eyes. It is very cute.
