Feeding Time/ At the Zoo

Here, Avery is eating (?) a blueberry pancake. For such a big guy, sometimes it seems like very little food actually makes it into his mouth to be swallowed. Yesterday, I had the day off (CUNY has a very late Spring Break for Passover), so I took Avery to the Bronx Zoo. I think when he's older it'll be more fun. The children's zoo is really great and there are all sorts of fun things like a Bug Carousel and a Skyride that goes over the whole zoo. But if nothing else, it was a fun way to enjoy a nice long walk on a beautiful warm day. The last picture is Avery sleeping with his elephant. Lately, he always finds it in his crib and hugs it as he sleeps. It's really cute. Hopefully this choice of toy is not indicative of his future political affiliations (although we do expect him to rebel against his parents somehow. Carolyn always imagines Avery going through an "Alex P. Keaton" phase to annoy us when he's older).
