Shedd Aquarium

Jonah, Doug and Lisa came to visit last weekend and we went to the Shedd Aquarium on Sunday. This is Ian watching the dolphin show. They made us sit for a good ten minutes while they got ready for the show. Ever try to tell a toddler to sit still for ten minutes! ARGH It was worth it, though. He loved watching them jump and do tricks.


This is a baby beluga whale and his momma. It was his first birthday the day we were there. Ian likes babies right now. He has a book of babies and he kisses the book. I keep asking him if he wants a baby brother or sister. He only answered this question once with an adamant, "NO".

This is a sea dragon. Very cool but hard to get a good picture of because they are pretty small and you can't use a flash. I think they must live in the depths where there is no light but I don't know because I don't read all the info when Ian is around. I just tend to watch him watch the fish or I'm busy chasing him. Mostly he really likes to look at the fishes and tell me about them in toddler speak. His favorites were the rays.


This is all of us at the end of the day. Ian crashed eventually, Jonah never did. The kid never naps! Or at least not very much. Gotta go, I hear the patter of little feet.
