Zoo Day and other fun things...

Much has happened over the past few weeks. Some of my favorite AZ friends, Rosi (Isbell) Hendrickson, and her husband Stan, came over for a visit and got to meet Harmony! Also, her kids (and one of my very best friends!) Derek, and Amanda came to visit a few days later. Derek hasn't seen Harmony since she was two weeks old. We had a blast playing Mario Kart and watching The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera. Great flick. ;) Amanda had a good time too she said, tho, the contrary seems evident from the picture, hee hee hee.

We finally took Harmony to the zoo!!! Yay! I have been waiting since January for the weather to be nice and for us to have a chance to go. We didn't get too many good pictures, unfortunately. The sun was not cooperating with my eyes, and many of the animals were sleeping out of view :( Although, we did get a video of Harmony's favorite part! The water fountain at the entrance! It was a great day.



Harmony has become more and more mobile. Loves to move and hates to sit and stay. A cute thing she does lately is her "turbo crawl." When she sees someplace she wants to be, she'll start a normal crawl, and then tips her head down and crawls at it doubletime! It's hilarious. She often bumps into things tho, since she's looking straight at the floor and not where she's going!

These clips are just from the other day. She stops and stares at our "fish" which she loves to look and giggle at. Our real fish died (they killed each other) but Ben has a screen saver on his computer with a fish tank on it, and, well, Harmony doesn't know the difference!
She also really loves to talk now. She says more words but it's hard to catch it on video. I'll post one if I am ever lucky enough to get it.

I love turbo crawl. Jared commented she must be smart because she already understands the concept of aerodynamics.
