The girls and Tank and a Day at the Zoo.

The girls and Tank

Jocie loves Tank. She will squeal, giggle, and kick every time he sees him. She loves to chase him around the house, there's something about that tail! Tank is really good with the girls, very patient and gentle.


Naomi wants to be like mommy. She "goes running" with Tank in our backyard. She of course loves him too even though she likes to boss him around all the time: "Come on boy!", "Knock it off!", "Shushhhh!", "Go outside!" She's got all kinds of commands for him.

Day at the Zoo. This was both Jocie's and Naomi's second trip to the Zoo (last year we went just a few weeks after Jocie was born.) It was a beautiful, perfect weather. Naomi loved seeing all of the animals, but sometimes felt a little scared of them too; She'd run to me and say "I'm scared" and kept saying "Aw! So cute!" When she saw a baby animal. She ran around for 2-1/2 hrs straight! and cried because she did not want to leave. Josie was so tired, from the moment we arrived, but hardly complained. She was able to take a little nap in the back-pack and recharged. You wouldn't think that she'd even be aware of the animals, but to my surprise she was very interested, even talking to them. She's such a good baby!

Naomi and her cousins, Rodrigo and Alex. They sure had fun!
