Momma’s taking us to the zoo today…

Because it was a nice day out and some friends from church were going, Kimberly decided we should all go to the Nashville Zoo today. We set out at around 10am and walked around until almost 3pm. Ouida Mae had a good time and was generally engaged the entire time. She showed a lot of interest in the various types of animals, but she loved the aquariums the most. I think she could sit and watch the fish for hours.

Her favorite by far were the camels at the petting zoo. She grabbed the fence, jumped up and down, pointed at a camel and said “Doggie!”

We also got a membership while we were there, so expect more zoo pictures in the future…

An update? Shocking!

We really are terrible about updating this. If you want that to change, you might email Kimberly and ask her to spend a few minutes on here instead of MDC each week…

Anyway, I won’t be able to due the missed time justice. Here are some high points.

Ouida Mae has six teeth. Four upper and two lower, but they seem to just keep coming.

Ouida Mae crawls like lightening and cruises a lot, but doesn’t quite stand by herself.

She’s learned a few words, notably “doggy”, but she mostly babbles in her own language only she understands (maybe).

She was dressed as Chewbacca for a few Halloween events.

She’s currently recovering from a bout of bronchitis.

For the 4th of July we went to East Tennessee to visit with family.

In October, Ouida Mae went to a fiend’s birthday party. There were a lot of babies there, and one dog (part border collie). Ouida Mae seemed most interested in the dog.

Anyway, that’s a quick recap. Hopefully we can do better in the future…
