A DAY AT THE ZOO

Sat. marked 5 months with Emily. My how time flies!! I looked back at pictures of when we first got her and she looks so tiny. She has grown so much, especially in the last week or two. She has also started saying more words, signs, more "pretend play", and becoming more independent.

She loved the zoo. I have been telling her for about 2 weeks that we were going to go to the zoo. She was excited. I also have been working with her teaching her sign language of several zoo animals. Her favorite is the Elephant. When she saw the elephant, she was so excited!!! She also loved the giraffe. At every exhibit, we would tell her what the animal was, and she would repeat its name. When we left the exhibit, we told her to wave and blow kisses which she loved.

Enjoy the zoo pics. I will try to post then and now pictures soon. I also have some pictures that the orphanage gave us that they took through the months while she was there....priceless!!
