Some fun pics of Alexander and her Sophie the Giraffe–excuse me, Sophie le Giraffe (taken on October 26th). (For the uninitiated  Sophie is VERY BIG these days. It’s French–if you ever have the chance, read the packaging. It’s genius. That said, even if it is trendy, kids seem to LOVE it–thanks again to Christine for ours!)

What’s this, Mommy?

OOOOH, this looks fun!

Alexandra focuses intently on Sophie.

Huh? What’s that you say?

The look on her face is just priceless.

You can almost hear her giggle in this picture. (Metaphorically speaking.)

And, some pics of her parents with an actual giraffe. These were taken at our friends Dave and Kat’s wedding back on September 15th. (They got married at the SF Zoo and during cocktail hour, we went to the giraffe house.) How cool is it that we got to pet a giraffe?!?

First, a pic of the bride and groom.

If I had known you could do this, we may have gotten married at the Zoo. That said, Los Gatos was definitely warmer.

The only shot of Ian with the giraffes.

How cool is this?!? (And, sidenote, got to re-wear the bridesmaid dress. Just had the front re-hemmed. Bonus!)
