Sweetest Thing
Some things are just meant to be shared...
I love it when I see this. Not only because he looks so content and happy, but this also allows for an extra hour in the morning!

Picture Perfect
Last Friday we helped a friend out at Lullabies & Mudpies.
There was a professional photographer (Hartman Photography) there that had a pretty nice deal going... so we took advantage of it!
They were featuring "Antique Photos" and had lots of old-timey props. Since Andrew has never had his picture taken by a true professional, I decided to give it a go. Andrew was super cooperative and now we have to decide which pictures in which pose(s) to order.

Team Holt at the Zoo!
Team Holt visited the Zoo of Northwest Florida to celebrate our 4th Anniversary. In the past, we've visited Kings Island, and Kings Dominion. We were trying to build a tradition of visiting amusement parks, but for the 3rd Anniversary I was pregnant, and for the 4th- well there just aren't any close. Well- there's Disney, but it's a little too far and a little too out of budget.
Anyway, we went to the zoo! I was excited to see Andrew meeting some animals, since there is a petting zoo portion- with different kinds of goats, sheep, a pig, and some cattle. Farm animals, nothing too exotic.
For you city folks, this is a sheep:
There were very large goats with large horns, so we kept Andrew away from those. We did find a friendly smaller Billy Goat, with smaller horns. There were two Billy Goats in that pen, and the other wasn't interested in us- so the threat of head butting was lesser with him.
There were giraffes, and lots of primates- including Orangutans and Siamangs. The Siamangs had a new 3 month-old baby! A few lions and tigers, and 30 acres of free-roaming animals. Deer, Gorillas, lots of birds, a Komodo Dragon, and Alligators. I thought it was strange to have Alligators in a Florida zoo, but whatever. It's kinda like having Pigeons in the Bronx Zoo.
Okay, time for some pictures...
Andrew doesn't care to look at the camera:
Momma and Baby Siamang:
2 1/2 year old Orangutan:
MY baby:
The most beautiful Butterfly:
Tired boys:
And the day wouldn't be complete without a few Team photos.
Beginning of the trip:
Towards the end of the trip:
Oh, and because he's the cutest thing. EVER.
