Baby Animal Days

On Saturday we went to the Baby Animal Days at the USU Botanical Gardens in Kaysville. We went with P1's cousin, aunt, and grandparents. P1 has recently been really interested in learning animal sounds, so it was fun to go and see all the animals!

Looking at the sheep:

We were also able to see them shear some sheep which was neat. It's amazing how much wool comes off of one sheep. We also saw a reptile show and they had a baby alligator! And we got to pet the cutest little baby goat. It tried to nibble on P1's fingers and he wasn't too sure what to think of that.

Looking at the llamas (or alpacas?):

One of the llamas was VERY interested in P1, and P1 wasn't too sure about the llama. It was really funny to watch:

While interacting with the llama, P1 heard an airplane and had to try to point at it even though we couldn't see it:

Lego Expo

We went to the Brickslopes LEGO expo on Saturday. I've never seen so many Legos in my life (and we have quite a few). There were some pretty neat displays, and everything is made out of Legos.

Sushi anyone?

Roman temple:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints temples:

My favorite display:

The Emerald City:

Agrabah:

They had every single LEGO Star Wars set ever made on display:

 Helm's Deep:

The Battle of Peleliu (WWII):

 Ghostbusters:

PE's favorite display:

P1's favorite part was the LEGO pit that kids could play in and build things. But instead of building something, P1 just collected all the "sticks" and "rocks" he could find.

18 Months

P1 had his 18 month check-up yesterday. As usual, he was not a fan. He screamed bloody murder when we tried to weigh and measure him. It was difficult to get his weight because he wouldn't let go of me.

Weight: 24 lbs 1 oz (25th percentile)

Height: 33.75 in. (84th percentile)

Waiting for the doctor:

He is a happy, healthy boy on all accounts! We are grateful for the good health P1 has always had.

His 3 favorite things to do are cook, play outside, and look at his Noah flap book. He loves to open up the flaps and point to all the animals and have you make the animal sounds. If he's in a willing mood he will make the sounds of a dog, snake, cat, lion, owl, penguin (we say "waddle waddle"), duck, tiger, and sometimes monkey.

P1 learned how to say "this", so now he points to whatever he wants and says "this, this, this..." until you get it for him.

We try to look through the gospel art book daily, and his favorite pages are the ones with the Latter-day Prophets. And he will keep pointing at them until you sing him the Latter-day Prophet song. And then you get to sing it over, and over, and over. I think he'll know all the prophet's names before he even goes to primary. Speaking of which, P1 starts nursery this Sunday! I'm excited for him to go and am sure that it will be a great experience for him.

Easter

For Easter, we went to the PE's parents for dinner on Saturday. P1's grandma and cousin "hid" Easter eggs in the backyard for P1. But P1 was more interested in digging in the dirt. Maybe we should have buried the eggs!

We finally got him to pick up about 5 eggs, but then he got bored.

Back to the dirt!!!
