On April 29, 2012 you went to your first movie. We took you to see the Disney Nature movie "Chimpanzee". It was a movie about a family of chimps and what happens to one particular little chimp during his first year.
SPOILER ALERT
The chimp's mother is separated from the group during an attack by another family of chimps and because of her injury she is left vulnerable at night and is attacked by a cat (not the nice kind that live in people's homes but a wild cat) and she is killed. The little chimp is left an orphan and none of the other lady chimps will take care of him because they already have chimps of their own. So, the little chimp followed around the big male leader of the group and eventually this leader adopts the little orphan chimp and because of this the baby chimp survives. Its a story of survival and what a little bit of hope, perseverance and love can do for a family and a baby.
It was a beautiful story and the filming was amazing! You loved watching the screen and seeing the Chimps running through the jungle and playing with each other. We watched the Mom chimps teaching their baby chimps how to get food and we also watched them nurse just like you and I do.
You did grow fussy at times. Once because you needed a diaper change and another time because you were getting tired and you tend to fuss before falling asleep. But overall you did very well at your first movie!
To commemorate the event we took picture of you in front of the movie poster. We had to wake you up to do so and the sun was in our eyes so they aren't great pictures but just a little reminder of a wonderful day your Daddy and I got to spend with you!

| This is Mommy's ticket because techinically you didn't need one but since I wore you into the movie we decided it was your ticket too! |
 |
| Looking down to avoid the sun. |
 |
| I promise you weren't mad - you were just unhappy about the sun in your eyes! |
xoxo
Mom
