Lions and Gorillas and Butterflies... oh my

Jason and I took Kelson to the Rainforest Cafe yesterday in Nashville for lunch. She has really shown a big interest in animals lately, so we thought she would love this place. She really was excited about the HUGE and COLORFUL butterflies. The fish really excited her too. Jason tried to show her the gorillas. As soon as he did, the rainforest thunderstorm started and they started freaking out and doing their motions. Kelson immediatly started crying- she wasn't a fan of all the noise and lightening. Bless her. We sat her back down to eat lunch and we assured her that the gorillas were nice. So next thunderstorm time she was acting like she was petting the gorillas saying "nice, nice". She is such a smart girl. She saw one of the monkey's swinging from the tree and Kelson said "Weeee"- :) Jason showed her the elephants and some colorful birds. We stopped by the gift shop on the way out and of course got her a RFC t-shirt and some animal figures for her collection at home. She really had a good time. Next we visited the Disney Store- the one in Hsv is closed:( so as soon as she saw the Mickey Mouse Ears she ran to the store- it was sooo cute. She walked in and you would have thought she entered Disney World. Now Jason and I really can't WAIT to take her to Disney. We are thinking October this year. We just hope Disney doesn't have thunderstorms every 30min like the rainforest cafe did ;) It was a very fun day for us!!! Kelson only got a 15 min nap so come 8:30 she was bathed and ready for bed ;) What a fun day!

Kelson has been SUCH a mommy's girl lately- waking up wanting me to hold her, always reaching for me... its sooo sweet. I'm sure its a phase, so I'm soaking up all I can right now.

Her new fav phases/things to do are: act like she's tickling us and laughs, making a funny face (like on Yo Gabba Gabba), when she finds someone she's looking for she says, "There's.... so and so". ex: Like looking for me then finding me -"There's Momma"... its so cute. Gets excited after you get her after he nap. She loves to color and stays in the lines rather well. When she wants you to color or feed her she says, "Do it".. and when she wants to watch something over she says "Again"...
Funny thing- I've been calling her private her "tutee" and it just so happens thats the name of one of the characters on yo gabba, so when they say her name on the intro song of the show she grabs herself like Michael Jackson- haha! Oops- my bad. Jason doesn't find it as funny as I do. She has learned how to blow out a candle- she did it at my 30th bday, and I'm sure there are several other things. She is soooo much fun....

I'll post pics from the Rainforest Cafe tomorrow!!!
