Petting Zoo

Jillian absolutely loves our dog Max.. however... Max has not yet totally made the adjustment that he is no longer the most adored creature in our house! Alexis and Marissa were about 8 and 6 when we got Max and so they were not little babies that needed our total attention, which left lots of time for us to play with Max and snuggle with him.. take him to the dog park and for long walks. Since Jillian has been born it has been a bit harder to find time for all of that (eventhough we still totally love him) So everytime Jillian tries to get near him or puts her hand out to touch him he runs away very quickly. I know she likes dogs because grandma Smith has a little dog that Jillian plays with. Last weekend we ended up at a petting zoo and she loved it! She was smiling so big and cracking up while touching all of the animals!

Here is Marissa making sure that each animal around her gets an equal amount of the food she bought to feed them! She loves all animals. She has recently realized where our dinner comes from (pigs, cows, chickens) and thinks it is so mean and gross. We always joke that she is going to grow up to be a total tree hugger! Only nuts and berries!! LOL

One of mommy and Jillian since I'm usually the one holding the camera, I got Ed to snap a few of she and I.
