Babies at the zoo


We have a local organization that brings together parents of babies born around the same time. Yesterday we met at the zoo. Vivi and I are in the center of the front row. Vivi was more interested in the other babies (all born in January or February) than she was in the animals at the zoo.

We did get to see the new baby giraffe, Daniel. He was born two weeks before Vivi. No one at the zoo knew the giraffe was pregnant until they woke up one morning to discover four giraffes where there had been three. It's hard to believe a mother giraffe can conceal a 6ft tall baby giraffe inside her, but apparently giraffes never show - they'd get attacked in the wild if they did.
