Pool fun with grandpa

My dad was trying to teach Kingston how to swim, it's never too early to learn. Kingston was having a whale of a time...get it, whale, water, Kingston in the pool? I am hilarious!

Amanda's Pics

Here are some pictures that Amanda took with her extra nice camera. I love these, she did such a good job. Kingston was quite a handful, but that's just who he is. We love him, he's getting so big and is walking now. He's got 4 teeth and is just all over the place!

Kingston's First Trip to the Zoo

So Kingston went to the zoo for the first time yesterday, it was a spur of the moment decision. I was way excited for him to feed the giraffes, and was somewhat disappointed to see that he was not amused. He pretty much had the same expression on his face the entire time. It was really hot and sticky, so I can't really blame him and he is only ten months old, so I guess I shouldn't have expected some amazing reaction from him. Well I had a good time. We'll go back for sure when he's a little older and can appreciate wildlife as much as his mother.

Kingston was forced to give the crackers to the giraffe after he was told he could not eat it himself.
