We're Back!





All 18 of us arrived safely! some drove, some flew. Brady did great on his first plane ride. Of course he fell asleep on the descent into LA, wishful thinking on my part to have him sleep the whole way.
Here are some family shots. We had a great time - and hope to do it again when baby #2 arrives!

Disney pics






All tuckered out after a long day!
One of the few "rides" mommy was able to do with Brady - a car that doesn't move!
Making a wish with Mima at Minnie's house.
Playing in the water park at California Adventure.
Watching a parade on Main street.

Meeting the characters






Not so exctied to see the characters up front and in person. He did warm up to Chip - and the princesses were pretty alright to meet. We did go to a Disney live show. How fun was that! He loved it! The characters were in puppet form - which probably made it not intimidating for him. It was my highlight of the trip watching Brady enjoy it so much.

Riding the rides at Disneyland






The roller coaster was Brady's favorite! He is a little dare devil!

Getting ready for a trip!


We leave for Disneyland on Saturday! Looking forward to it! We've been watching the Disney channel a lot so that we are used to the characters. We will give a full report when we come back.

I was able to sneek in and take a picture of Brady sleeping in his new bed. It's been going pretty well. Lately we've been sleeping pretty light - someone likes to get out of bed about 2 or 3 am and check things out. It's pretty funny to see a little head stick out in the hallway to see if anyone is up yet.

Hope to see you all soon and we will post some pics when we get back.

Big Big News to Report this morning!

Brady slept in his new Big Boy Bed last night!!!! We read our bedtime story in there last night and I was getting up to take Brady to his Crib - Tony siad, "Why don't you just get under the covers and lay down". A little hesitation on Brady's part, but that's all it took and his got right in!
I laid with him for 15 minutes and he was out - so I snuck out.
Not until 3:00 am did we hear a peep out of him.
But, how weird is it to see your child standing in the hallway in the middle of the night. He started yelling, "Mommy, mommy, mommy", and so I just picked him up and I decided to stay with him the rest of the night. Not sure how much sleep either of us had from 3:00 - 6:00, but wow! What a BIG night.
So proud of the Brave little guy!

Brady's new Big Boy Room!

Since I am no longer working from home, we dismantled my office today!
We will (slowly) move Brady into his new room - and of course we aren't finished with it yet (Tony still needs to paint and I still need to go shopping for new bedding - it's hard, I know - why do I always have to do the hard work!).
We asked Brady tonight if he would like to sleep in his new room, and he said, "No, not yet". Who knows - anyone have any tips on this transition????

Look at the handy work he has done on the border - His little fingers have been hard at work!

FYI - the mobile I just attached for scrapbook purposes - he wanted that thing off his crib over a year ago!
