Anyways, Caleb did great at the zoo. I thought he might be put off by some of the animals, but he wasn't at all. He enjoyed his walk around the zoo, loved looking at the tress as we went, and was fully willing to help feed and touch the giraffes. At one point a giraffe had his tingue out grabbing lettuce from me, and Caleb reached right out wrapping his little hand around that big slimy tongue as the giraffe slid it back in it's mouth. haha. And he also got in very intense stare off with a Lemur ;)
And while we are on the subject of firsts...Caleb first began sleeping in his crib last week! Up until now I have had no luck with him sleeping at all unless he was held or in his car seat. Every few weeks I would attempt laying him down and it would only last about 10 minutes followed by a very big meltdown. So last week I thought I would give it a try and to my surprise when I laid him down...he stayed asleep! So it has been almost a week of successfully napping in his crib, and sleeping part of the night in his crib. The next big hurdle is getting him to stay asleep longer then his typical 2 hours at night, or his 1/2 to 1 hour at naps. Though I am not complaining because the simple fact he is sleeping in his crib is huge, and that it simply just happened one day! I am so grateful and fingers crossed we keep moving in a positive direction with his sleep!
