To end Kyle's birthday weekend, we spent the day at the zoo on Monday. We headed down to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs with the grandparents. The first exhibit (and the best, in my opinion) were the sophies. For those of you without babies of your own, this is the affectionate name for a giraffe teething toy that is widely popular among Kyle's "crowd." Anyhow, these giraffes are uber-friendly and sit at eye level with you thanks to a nice platform.
For $2, you can feed them crackers. And they will stick out their very long tongues for you.

Course the crackers kind of look like teething biscuits but Kyle quickly found out they aren't as yummy.
We seriously had a blast feeding them. Kyle would erupt in giggles everytime one of them stuck their tongue out.
I had the greatest time watching his reactions. I think it's safe to say that they are currently his favorite animals (perhaps only second to his doggies).
Kyle did really well the entire time at the zoo. We ended up crossing into his afternoon nap, but he had no issues falling fast asleep in his stroller... until the lovely peacocks screeched and woke him up.
It was a perfect day at the zoo to cap off a perfect birthday weekend. I seriously can't believe we have a 1 year old! Boy has time just flown by.
