The Zoo

There has been a few things since I last posted at the beginning of the week. The first has to deal with baby-sitting. You see I'm able to bring Wyatt to work with me and that is what I have done since he was 7 weeks old. Well my sister was done with school last week and has an internship in the Cities that doesn't start until May 19th. So she is in the area with a bit of time on her hands. Because of this she offered to watch Wyatt so I didn't have to bring him into work with me so that is what I did this week and will do next week. Leslie did very well with Wyatt this week even though she didn't have much baby experience before this. Wyatt did well but his mom missed him quite a bit (even though I was able to get a bit more work done).
Here Wyatt is sporting his Michigan onesie while being held by his Auntie Leslie (who gave him the onesie; she's a Law student at Ann Arbor, MI).

Then the other thing is that yesterday Wyatt and I went to the Como Zoo to meet a couple of friends and their 7 month old son (along with two other mothers and their daughters) who moved to Mississippi in August just before their son was born so this was the first time we were able to meet each other's sons. We had fun seeing all of the animals including a large lion, mountain lion, seals, penguins, giraffes, a zebra, a tiger and a few others. Granted this trip was more for the parents to see each other and show off our children rather than for our children to form memories. Wyatt got pretty tired and eventually fell asleep while walking around the zoo.
And then from last night to this afternoon Bert, Wyatt and I puppy-sat my sister's dog, Louie. It was quite chaotic at times but it wasn't too bad. I wasn't able to put Wyatt on his floor mat like I do often but it worked out. Louie and Hawk had a lot of fun seeing each other. I think Louie started missing Leslie because he kept looking out the window (j/k; he just really likes looking out windows and seeing what is going on outside).
For now that's about it. In a few days Wyatt has his 4 month doctor's appointment so I will post his statistics when I get them on Tuesday.
