Henry Doorly Zoo
On June 6th we met my mom, my sister Beth, and my nephew Peyton at the Henry Doorly Zoo. It was a fun day and Mena seemed to enjoy it. She really wasn't sure what to think of most of the animals. She did start "talking" when she looked at the elephants, but otherwise she was pretty quiet all day. She just stared at my family and gave them a few smiles. We got home and she started babbling non-stop until we put her to bed that night!
Best Friends
Mena will roll all the way across the living room to get to Emmy Lou. Emmy Lou lets her tug on her collar, grab her ears, or tail and never does anything but lick Mena. After a couple minutes Emmy Lou gently disentangles herself from Mena's arms and walks far away from Mena :)
Angela Comes to Visit
Gene's friend Angela from Wyoming came to visit on May 16th. Mena's going through a phase with high stranger anxiety, but she responded to Angela like she responds to Gene and I! We were amazed. Mena tried very hard all evening to pull the heart off of Angela's shirt! Mena's got a new friend and hopes she is able to come visit again soon!
And the Walls Came A-Tumbling Down
On May 16th we watched the construction crews knock down the house 2 doors down from us. Tabitha is putting in some assisted living facilities and the place where this house was taken down will actually be a parking lot. Gene and I thought it was weird to see a house identical to ours just crumble under that machine. Mena was more interested in sticking her tongue out at Daddy and talking to the tree I was standing next to!
