Mia seemed to have a wonderful 1st birthday. She woke up a bit late and was a bit overwhelmed by seeing all her birthday presents all wrapped up in the lounge. She didn't really know what to make of it all but once a few presents were ripped open she seemed to be enjoying herself. Especially when the drum and drumsticks were opened. She has had the drumsticks in her little clenched fists at every opportunity today and banging anything she can find. She loved her little tricycle that her granny bought her as it has it has a flag that she can swish around and a bell to ring and the shop that her other gran bought for her she loves as well, as it makes lots of different noises and there are plenty of things on it that she can push and hit. She is carrying around her little cuddly kangaroo that her great gran bought for her in the basket of her tricycle along with her new mobile phone and her new shoes. What more could a little one-year-old girl ask for??
We got to Taronga Zoo about midday and the first animals we saw were the huge giraffes. They have amazing views overlooking the harbour onto the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. Mia was really taken with the giraffes - probably because they were so huge. We felt like we were really close to them as well. Then we saw the elephants, she liked them as well and kept pointing at them and trying to talk to us about what she was seeing. She just seemed fascinated by all the animals, it was lovely to see. We bought a year pass for the zoo, so over the next year as Mia grows and changes, she'll have different reactions to the animals and I'm sure a few will stand out as her favourites. We watched the feeding of the gorillas. The alpha male was huge, he was a big Silverback Western Lowland gorilla.
