Baby Giraffe

I forgot to mention that at the Hogle Zoo they have a brand new baby giraffe and we got to see him! He was 8 days old when we were there and already 6 feet tall.
Little known fact: When the mother gives birth she stays standing and the giraffe just falls about 8 feet down. And within the first hour after birth they learn how to run.

Cambria had her 12-month appointment yesterday and the doctor says she is doing great! She now weights a whopping 18 pounds 12 ounces and is 30 1/4 inches tall. She is in the 90% for height and head circumference but the 20% for weight. She still can't be in a forward facing car seat yet. But she can now drink milk and eat fun stuff like peanut butter which was a success at lunch today but was very messy.
Little know fact about peanut butter: It's probably my favorite food/condiment.
