Today Jasmine (Murrow’s nanny) had to call in sick…meaning Poppa gets to have his first full-day alone with Murrow. Not to let this opportunity go to waste, Murrow was wisked off to the zoo for some giraffe feeding, gorilla watching, and stroller pushing (see the previous video) mayhem.

Popped Corn
Murrow can’t have buttered popcorn (something about the fear of going into anaphylactic shock and now lung cancer), but he can eat something almost (not nearly) as good … unbuttered and unsalted organic popcorn (my mouth is watering). Somehow he loves the stuff. He’ll just yank the bag away and walk around the house munching… Continue reading Popped Corn
