Cronin family trip to the Zoo

To celebrate our anniversary we decided to have a family day. We made a trip to Brookfield Zoo. Unfortunately there weren't many pictures taken. 

Can you tell it was 5 million degrees, smelled like garbage, and no monkeys were present? No happy campers in this crowd. 

A long day = a sleepy baby

A visit with Santa

Definitely reluctant at first

Now we're warming up (and Santa's passing out)

The boys bonding

And with a little tug....

Chauncey was all Iggy's. This was occurring at 5:30 in the morning none the less.

Happy Birthday Patrick

Patrick turned 10 (I still can't believe he's 10!) on December 16th. We went to a restaurant that we frequented a lot as kids. Such good memories. 

Cousins

Iggy was really excited to sit next to Pop Pop

Attempts at crawling

Ignatius is famous for taking breaks during his attempts

"Hey Lady, you're gonna help me out here?"

He haven't perfected getting up on his knees, he's more of a plank position kind of guy.

Nothing like cuddling with Daddy after a long workout

That tongue! 

7 month photo shoot

I might just blow this picture up and create a cardboard cutout for decoration next year. 

Ignatius stats for month 7: 18 lbs 8 oz and 28 1/4 inches long. 

Splish splash

Ignatius has now become intrigued by the jets, which entails trying to throw himself out of his tub.

He also discovered washcloths
