Damien had a play date with fellow bear cubs Andrew (3), Isabella (1), and Kellen (5 mo) at the Oakland Zoo. Unfortunately, Damien arrived at the zoo pretty cranky and in need of a nap. And, since he rarely falls asleep in his stroller anymore, Momma ended up having to wear him most of the afternoon. Damien does not like the stroller anymore since we returned from France, where he was not in one for 3 weeks, and so Momma usually has to end up wearing Damien in the carrier when out for walks (which is not great for Momma's back). After a decent hissy fit, little D fell alseep in the carrier, which allowed Mommy to enjoy the zoo. And, no, Mommy didn't have any crazy notions that D would be all that interested in the zoo at this age, but just likes to get out of the house and enjoy this crazy good winter weather (highs in the 60's-70's). Momma forgot D's reflux medication, so he missed his mid-day dose, and when he woke up from his brief nap, he was none too happy, prompting mommy to high tail it home. So, not exactly the most enjoyable/sucessful outing!

A moment of calm and alertness - quick, someone take a picture!
