A trip to the zoo!

Its almost June for God's sake!

As you can see from the picture above, that was taken this morning, its been a very cold, dreary spring! Yesterday was chilly, but we decided that would be a good day to go to the zoo. The animals tend to be more active when its not super hot.

This is what Jax did most of the time at the zoo. which is a good thing, because when he's awake, he needs constant suctioning. It makes it not so fun to take him places anymore. Which negates my whole feeling of including him in everything! But look closely at this picture, do you see anything unusual?

Yeah that's a nice, big bee on my son's chest! I had no idea it was in this picture. Gives me the willies just looking at it! This kid is a bee magnet. When he was barely out of the hospital from his 4 month stay, our first outing with him, he had a hornet on his chest. I didn't see it and I put him over my shoulder. He started fussing and when I brought him down I saw it. I totally freaked out because I'm terrified of bees. It had stung him like 3 times. I was scared to death he was going to have some weird reaction, after all, he had just spent the last 4 months fighting for his life. We were still extremely nervous about his health.
Anyway, we saw our cute new baby elephant. She is so sweet, and reminded me of a human toddler!

And of course, my favorite, the orangutan!

Orangutans remind me of DS kids. No I'm not totally crazy, they have the same little noses and round eyes. I mean, look at this sweet face, it looks just like Jax when he was a baby down to the red hair sticking straight up!

And you know your child's legs can do this!!
