Keira can say hug in Spanish! - October 2009

Keira and I have been practicing our hugs to each other a lot lately. Mom encouraged Keira to say the word hug when she did it. So Keira tried her best and said "hao" so I tell mom (excitedly) that Keira said hug in Spanish! And then I told dad about it later when he came home from work. I don't quite get why mom and dad thought it was funny, but sometimes they laugh easily. Keira's favorite lately is Peek-a-boo and she can say it pretty well too.

Another noteworthy event happened at dinnertime the other night. Dad said that he had a surprise for me after dinner and I said "is it the money you could be saving with Geico?" Mom and dad were laughing pretty hard so I think my comedic timing is improving. Actually, I guess I get exposed to a lot of something called 'advertising' about Geico. There are billboards I frequently see on my way to the store and library. And I also see ads in the newspaper which is what I'd seen shortly before dinner that night.

Below are pictures from my trip to the zoo for mom and dad's birthday. We had a great time. I liked looking at all of the animals, but the carousel was my favorite. I didn't stop smiling the whole time. The picture of K crying is one mom posted because sometimes you've just gotta remember how much you really want to be held by mamma.
