The 300 lb. Baby

Today, we went to the zoo with our friends. Mo went to hang out with her friend and run around. I went because I am dying to see the new baby elephant.


He was born 2 weeks ago, and is the first elephant born at the Oregon Zoo in like 20 years!!!! He was so sweet. When we got there, he was lying down. Then, his mother came over and nudged him.....and he STOOD UP. It was kind of wobbly, but he did it. Then he went and stood under his mom, and started nursing. We couldn't stay long. but so worth waiting in line to see that little guy!

I think I will name him Julio.
