Zoo date

On Sunday, we went on a doubledate to the Zoo with Renee and Declan. The cold weather meant we were rewarded with no crowds and (by extension?) animals on display. For example, lions!

Renee and I did have a moment where we wondered how thick the glass really was...

While Imogen meowed at her new friend.

Here we are just after learning that our female elephant is 10 months pregnant. Which means she's due in a mere 12 months!!

Highlights for the 16 month olds were: riding together in side-by-side carseats (and holding hands), riding together in the stroller, walking at the end of the zoo loop and checking out the holiday lights.

Imogen and Santa Kennedy

Fortunately, he was able to win her over in the long run.

Recent pics

Here are a few recent pics of Imogen as well as a video of her saying one of her most frequently used words.

Note: her nose looks worse than it was. Poor thing had three separate face plants in the span of one week. Her nose was no match for the carpet. Learning to walk is rough!

More animal noises

Imogen knows a ton of animal sounds now, including sheep, ducks, cats and monkeys. My current favorite is her imitation of Kenai. Those who know him may recognize his 'get off my front porch' bark.

Talking cat!

Imogen's favorite: Lucy

I'm sure Lucy often regrets our short-sightedness in bringing a baby home.

Girls go to Denver

Imogen and I went to Denver for the weekend under the guise of a work trip but really to meet all of the Denver babies: the college gals and I have delivered 5 kids in the past year alone! It was a perfect fall trip, and Imogen came home starting to take a few steps towards us.

Imogen loved spending time with big boy Colin.


Baby Cameron in his 'office.'


Colin keeps an eye on the game with Brayden and Molly.


Lots of Little Badgers gathered (Imogen, Molly, Colin, Brayden and Cameron).



Someone needs size 24mo. Badger gear :)


But it was a tough loss to Michigan State.
