September 30

Aunt Mary and Austin flew home yesterday. It was a short trip, but we really enjoyed their company!
Today, Daddy had the day off (except for a soccer game) so we started the day off with Daddy's Criptoquip.

Bee Bee, Mommy, and William went to the Cape May Zoo. William had fun studying the goats, pigs, ducks, iguanas and boa constrictor. His little head just kept cocking to the side in his "puppy dog" tilt as he took it all in. He attracted the attention of the lion who suddenly stopped his pacing at the back of his pen to stare directly at William and then walked up to the fence right in front of us spectators to pace and get a better view. He also attracted the attention of other zoo-goers. Several made impressed comments about the baby watching the boa constrictor as it moved along its glass cage. One couple said William was better than the animals and took a picture of him on their cell phone camera! It is amazing to see how much William's awareness and curiosity have grown since Daddy and Mommy first took him to the zoo in July.
