Today we had a busy day. We started with a trip to the Aquarium of the Americas with our play group. Chance and I had been to the Aquarium before which weirdly enough I don't think I mentioned here. I have lots of pictures from that time as well as this time which you can find by clicking 'New Photos' at the right. I have always really liked animals and greatly enjoy both the Zoo and the Aquarium so last time we were here we bought a year long pass to both places so we can go anytime we want without having to worry about how much it will cost, Yeah! Chance also really loves animals he seems mezmerized by them sometimes and wants to get close to them. He likes getting right up close to the tanks at the aquarium and will touch the glass and watch the fish swim around and around. 
Today we watched the zoo keepers feed the penguins and Chance was right there listening to the man talk and watching the penguins swim waddle around. He is so curious. The other women in the group jsut walk and talk but I, like Chance am actually interested in learning some things so we stayed behind to finish the penguin feeding. We caught up though and went on watching all different kinds of fish. Chance has really started pointing to what he wants and a new game is to point when I am holding him then I will take a couple steps in the direction he points and then he will point again and I again take a few steps. He thinks it is fun and I am learning what he actually wants instead of just walking blindly in the direstion he first pointed. Turns out he wanted to watch the sharks swim in thier tank because he took me right to them twice. Also, last night we had the screen door closed but the solid door open and our niehgbours were sitting out on their 
Stoop across the street. Chance crawled over to the door pointed out the door then pointed up to the door knob and then looked at me and made a noise to get my attention then he repeated the pointing and and noise. I asked him if he wanted to sit on the stoop and then opened the screen door and sat on the first step. Chance crawled down the first step and sat there with me for a few minutes jsut like the neighbours were doing and then he crawled back inside to play. Also today he crawled into the bathroom then pointed to the bathtub then to himself and then made the noise again. He repeated it a few times. He wanted to take a bath. It is so much fun , He is comunicating. While at the Aquarium today he was really interacting with the displays too. He pushed buttons and felt the scales of the fish and crawled under this one tank that you can look up into over and over again. T
hey have a play area for the kids and he had fun crawling around and discovering all there was to discover. We watched the otters swim around in their tank too. It is like Chance can tell that it is a living thing but it is different from him and he is just so curious to find out what it is.
