The many smiles of Graham!

Graham and I spent a wonderful morning at the zoo today. We couldn't have asked for better weather and we practically had the entire place to ourselves! When we arrived about 10:00, I counted maybe 20 cars in the parking lot. The lack of crowds is always a welcomed treat at the zoo because it allows Graham and his stroller a front row seat to every exhibit!

No trip to the zoo is complete without a visit with the goats...this goat was a bit pushy and wanted Graham's water. Graham understandably didn't want to share his water and began to growl at the goat. We've repeatedly worked on the idea that goats don't growl, but for some reason, in Graham's world, they do.

I've realized that Graham has many different smiles that he shares for different occasions. All equally cute and charming, I have learned how to "read" them and predict what might be coming...

The "I'm plotting to do something" smile..

The "You're making me wear a bib against my will, so I'm not going to chew my food, but instead show you what's inside my mouth" smile...


The "I'm happy with my lunch" smile...

The "You think I'm eating, but I'm going to spit it all out in about 2 seconds" smile...

The "Light up the room" typical Graham smile
