Spaghetti and Peteballs: Palm Springs and Disneyland

We just arrived home from a great trip to Palm Springs and Disneyland! It was Ollie's second time in Palm Springs and his very first Disney trip. He didn't sleep so well at night, but besides that I think he loved it. He seemed to really enjoy all the rides we brought him on. Ollie would dance with the music a little bit, but he spent most of the time looking around taking it all in. A few noteworthy rides include.... Peter Pan, Dumbo, Winnie the Pooh, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion and many more. One ride in California adventure he even had to sit in his own seat, and he did just fine. His all time favorite though was the Tiki Room! He loved watching the birds as he danced and jumped like crazy as he flapped his arms to the music. Us big kids had a good time too and we pretty much got to go on all the rides we wanted to as well, thanks to our crew of babysitters that included grandparents and aunties ;)

Now that we are home, Ollie is in full fledged crawling and standing mode. He has been dragging his body around for quite some time now, but he finally got the crawling motion down. He's so proud of himself and I am proud of him too, but it breaks my heart a little bit. I can't believe our little newborn has turned into such a wild monkey! Before we left, he'd been working himself up to a stand in the tub and I caught him standing in his crib once... but now that we are back, he's pulling up on EVERYTHING and getting up quite quickly. It's heart stopping at times, but I guess that's just part of it from here on out. Luckily his crawl is still slow and labored so I have some time to adjust emotionally to this new phase... as well as time to go around putting plastic covers in all the sockets :)

Anyway, enough about that. Here's what you've been waiting for... pictures from our trip!
