Eddie had a busy week, despite still recovering from cold number six of the season (hopefully the last). It was such a beautiful week of spring weather that on Tuesday we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo, finally. We became members for the year, which means free parking passes, which is a huge incentive. We arrived early, shortly after 9 a.m. and it was perfect because it wasn't crowded at all except for several other babies and toddlers in strollers. Eddie seemed to like the tiger and other felines the best. His new word is "see" and he says it as he points to things. He was saying "see!" a lot as he noticed all the animals. He didn't seem freaked out at all, which for some reason I thought he would be. I also thought he would be really into the gorillas and various monkeys, but he wasn't. He was more into all the other kids at the zoo and climbing on things with them. He also loved running over all the hills and ramps and manhole covers. We ate our picnic lunch amongst ducks, geese, seagulls and sparrows, whom were all way too assertive in their quest for food.
His other "first" this week was ice cream. Actually he had frozen custard from Scooter's, which is Chicago's only custard stand (frozen custard is BIG in Wisconsin but not really anywhere else). He liked the vanilla which I fed him from my bowl and said "mmm." But he loved his Dad's chocolate cone even more; whined when it was all gone.
