Disney Fun

The day after Christmas we left for DISNEY! This was Jackson's 4th visit there and Luke's first, of course! We had been telling J about going to Disney World, and the night before we left we reminded him about our trip. The next morning I asked him where we were going before he even had a chance to remind us. The first thing out of his mouth before thinking--Mickey World...Disney World! So funny! Some of J's favorite characters are: Buzz and Woody, Mickey, Donald and the rest of the gang. He was so excited about going to their house!! Another exciting part of this trip was that J was tall enough to ride most rides, and he was willing to try every one. We would laugh because on some of the rides that were not necessarily just for kids we could tell that he was a little uneasy. There were even some that scared him a little, because stuff came right out at him. Mommy forgot that a friend warned her about this! He was a champ, though. Still, he would get off every single time like he wasn't scared at all. He would say, "Fun, yea, whoo". We would ask him if he wanted to go again, and he would tell us no-no! I guess he had to pretend he was super tough! We are pretty sure his favorite rides were Toy Story and Buzz Lightyear, though! Here's a look at our week...

Guess who went down the BIG water slide by HIMSELF?!?! He started out on his bottom but was on his tummy by the time he got to the bottom. So brave!




Nothing like the love of little boys...especially at Disney World

Look who is-- sitting!

L is a little over 7 mos. now and about a month ago I started wondering why he wasn't really sitting up, yet. I think I even commented on it to a few people. I knew J was sitting up at 6 mos. and rarely fell over after 7 mos. So, I sat him on the floor one day while J was playing and noticed that he had pretty good support. It totally felt like he gained it overnight. We started letting him sit on the floor more and more. It finally occurred to me that he wasn't really sitting up because WE had not given him the chance! We just always laid him down. Oh my, how things change with baby #2. I knew the milestones before they were supposed to happen with J! Still, so proud of you, little L!
