This past week was filled with quite a few "firsts" around our house.
On Saturday, Levi finally signed the word "mommy" several times! What a great Mother's Day weekend gift to me. Of course, he hasn't signed it since last weekend but oh well!

Levi at 10 months
On Sunday, I celebrated my first Mother's Day with both of my boys! We went to church that morning like always but on our way out decided it was such a nice day, why not take the boys to the zoo? So we also had our first family outing to the Dallas Zoo. There were actually quite a few families celebrating Mother's Day there. The boys did great but completely made us laugh. Levi was content to sit in the wagon the entire time, munching on whatever he could get his hands on. Judah didn't spend too much time in the wagon....or too much time caring about the animals either! He payed attention here and there but to him it was much more exciting to climb things and run around-oh and he did get excited about some squirrels (hmm...so we payed $20 to watch squirrels...). Although I have to say, the children's zoo area was a HUGE hit with him. He got to pet animals, play in a huge sandbox, see farm animals, walk in a lazy river/creek bed and basically just get to be a kid. We could have spent the entire time there.
This is as good of a picture you can get when you wait until 8pm on Mother's Day to take a picture with your kiddos!

This is the general gist of our zoo trip....Levi munching in the wagon and Stevie and I trying to get Judah interested in all the animals!
He loves elephants!
OK so Levi got out of the wagon a few times!
Also this week the boys had their first trip on daddy's boat at the lake. This is something Stevie has been waiting for now for a very long time-well, we've been talking about it since I was pregnant with Judah! Judah's initial reaction getting on the boat was fear and tears (it's a bass boat which means it's low to the water and moves a lot so I think he was scared). But as soon as Stevie started up the engine, Judah got excited and loved it! He also loved fishing with dad. He talks about Stevie fishing all the time. Often when Stevie's not around he asks me "papi pez" (daddy fish)? Levi of course was happy to just explore around the floorboard, playing with the toys and well.....of course eating! It was such a beautiful day. We had a great time listening to the radio, fishing and just having family time out on the lake. I can't wait to do it again!
Me and the boys on the water! I think Levi is eyeballing his Sonic bag on the floorboard.
The wind in Judah's hair as Stevie drove the boat!
Fishing like daddy and driving the boat!

What a fun day on the lake! The boys looked like they both really enjoyed it. So cute.
