Life in St. Louis - Jan 2007

Mom and Dad already have me pulling all nighters, working on the computer, answering calls and writing......gosh I don't even know my numbers yet!!
I think I look pretty good shirtless....watch out ladies!

We took this picture in the middle of the night. He sure looks happy on his pillow and two favorite blankets and one spare (you never know when you need an extra blanket!)
About a week ago we actually got lots of snow - I will report exactly 1 week later we have none. Anyhow, Adli is not a big fan of snow. Looks like he missed the "Canadian - snow genes"




We signed Adli up for swim class and he loves it. The pool is a walk in and there is a vortex pool - so cool. I like because it is warm!

Summary of the last few weeks

We seem to go to Sam's club a lot! Enough that Adli knows the sign from the outside no matter which location...eliciting the following, "Cookie, cookie, cookie" then "Hot dog, hot dog, hot dog".



















We are learning our body parts...which can be a hazard sometimes...like pointing out eyes without having a finger put into your own eye... so Adli now knows "Eye brow" which is much safer. Here Adli is checking out if his tongue is bigger.



















At the mall, again! Here is a picture just for Uncle Sam on a trike. Practicing so we can double, I'll be back to collect that Harley! Do my feet need to touch? Better get some training wheels.

Botanical Garden

We went to see the Chihuly exhibit before it is removed. The Botanical gardens cover a few hundred acres, so get your walking shoes on!
Like our travels to the zoo we could start another blog with all of the pictures of the Chihuly.


















Inside the Climatron Adli discovered his calling...future rice farmer.






















We took some time out to smell the roses...sorry had to say it. We did not show the next sequence of photos of Adli eating the rose...that should be an interesting diaper change at child care tomorrow!

The Zoo...Again!

We were the first people in the zoo (easy when you get up at 5am), the animals were hungry and Aldi wanted to help...he should like rice cake!











Okay so we only had one rice cake and now there are three peacocks... this was a good idea when there was one but they are scary when there is a flock...Do they bite?










Adli and the Hippo...not the same ring to it as Jonah and the Whale but it might catch on.
