At the Zoo

Today we went to the Topeka Zoo. This was Quentin's third trip to the zoo (we took him to the Topeka Zoo when he was about four months old and the Denver Zoo when he was seven months), but the first since he really "discovered" animals. It was a lot of fun to watch him react to the animals this time. He was fascinated with the fish and would happily have continued to watch them indefinitely. He also seemed to be quite impressed by the lions and giraffes. Later on, he was contentedly examining a sheep when the creature let out a noise that sounded something like "bleeeeh!" (I guess it was just a normal sheep sound, but it sounded like it was ready to be sick). Quentin was startled, but quickly recovered. We soon discovered that imitating the sheep sound for him was about the funniest thing in the world. Whenever I made the sound, he would start giggling almost uncontrollably. I don't think I've ever seen him laugh quite so much. Hopefully we'll get to take him again in the spring--I imagine it will be completely different once again. I just hope he has as much fun as he did today!
