As I was working through these pictures, I found a few leftovers from the Odessa trip. In these pictures, Brian is playing on the tractor at Grammy's - the same one Cory used to play on.
In these two, he was pushing himself backwards on the tractor. My cell phone doesn't do well with motion, but you can see the smile through the blur. He was having a blast!
A few with Grammy.
And one pointing out the decorations at Grammy's house.
At Thanksgiving time, Cory's parents came out to El Paso to see us. We took Brian to the zoo, and he had a great experience. All of the animals were playing for him. The giraffes were wrestling, the meerkats ran up by him, the sealion was showing off. He definitely loves the zoo. It was cold and windy, so I didn't get many great pictures.
With Nana Brenda and Papa Dell at the elephants.
(Brian was more interested in the water than the elephants!)
Riding the tiger at the zoo with Daddy.
Here's a comparison from the first time we took him to the zoo. (May 2011)
Sea Lions with Daddy - they both love to watch them swim by!
All bundled up!
The lioness was pacing by the window where Nana Brenda was standing with Brian - if you look closely, it looks like she is eye to eye with him!
Enjoying the meerkats!
At breakfast - Daddy was shooting straw wrappers across the table at Brian. The anticipation was great. In the second picture, the white blur at the bottom middle of the picture is the wrapper.
Thanksgiving family picture.
Brian carrying the cooler around like he was taking his lunch to work!
Building his new toy. Brian and Papa Dell are supervising Cory.
And playing ...
Nana and Papa Dell took Brian to Toys 'R Us to see what toys he liked for Christmas. He started picking up these little animals and was just stacking them in his lap, like he hoped we wouldn't notice how many he had. He eventually ended up with just the lion and turtle ... which are now on our living room floor. :)
