This past weekend was crazy. On Saturday, we visited the NC Zoo in Asheboro with our family. Both of our nieces were there which was very cool as they haven't seen each other since our wedding and then they were only a few months old. We saw lots of primates, elephants, birds, rhinos, giraffes and other African animals. The NC Zoo is an amazing place - we only were able to see half of it. We'll have to go back to see the other half sometime.
On Sunday after church we visited Marvin then went to Babies R Us to register for Baby Liam. Joey had the idea that we would do both this registry and the Target one in the same day. Fast forward 2 hours and we were both propped up in the glider section of the store deciding to stop for ice cream on the way home. As first time parents, the baby superstore can be extremely overwhelming. There are so many different items to choose from, then on top of that there are multiple choices for each item. And, in a real life store you don't have the convenience of customer reviews, so it's kind of all a shot in the dark. Did you know that they make a diaper wipe warmer that also doubles as a night light?
Also this weekend I was able to see Baby Liam squirm around from the outside for the first time. I have to admit, it's creepy, it sort of looks like that scene from Space Balls where the alien pops out and starts to sing "hello my darlin". Joey has yet to see my tummy move around. I call him to come and look, and I think I scare Liam in the process causing him to freeze :). The baby books say that he can use all of his senses now...and I think this is for sure true because even lifting up my shirt to get a better look makes him freeze due to the light.
