California and Disneyland - Start of Summer 2012

Part 1:  DISNEYLAND   (Warning this is a LONG post, full of pictures)

I have always wanted to take my baby to Disneyworld or Disneyland.  (Disneyland is our 10 year anniversary plan...I can dream right?)
Walking into the park I looked at Will and said "I am trying really hard not to cry right now."

It was a perfect day!  Max had a blast.  He liked the rides, especially "It's a Small World" and "The Muppets 3D Show."  He was a flirt with people in line, and he made a lot of friends. 
Will and I carried him in lines all day, and the would stroller him around between rides.  He is a 28 pound wiggly little man, so to say I was tired by the end of the day in an understatement.
Will's Mom was so great, and came with us for the special day.  She bought Max an ALIEN stuffed animal from Toy Story that talks and shakes.  Max LOVES it!  We are hoping this mean that he will like Toy Story.  (There are 3 of them to watch so it wouldn't be that bad if they became his favorite)
To thank her he learned how to say "Grandma" by then end of our stay!  Darling to hear him speak.

All-in-All the day was perfect!  I loved watching Max Smile and look around all day.






 Will and I have taken a picture in this spot since our very first trip to Disneyland together on December 28th, 2007.  It was fun to add Max to this picture.  I can't wait to take more family pictures at our Disney Spot.


 Max loved Grandma's hat. 


 2-hour mid day nap!
 "OoooooooooAhhhhhhhhhh The Claw"

 Max's First Trip to Disneyland was a success.

PART 2: Grandpa and Grandma's house! 

Going to Grandpa and Grandma's house is ALWAYS so fun and relaxing.  We sleep, play, eat, watch movies and TV shows, play board games, talk and do a lot of laughing.
Max played with his vocal cords, cars, and practice golf balls.  His voice came out in wild ways because he was trying to compete with 5 cousins who are bigger and stronger than him. 
He said two new words on vacation - "Bye-Bye" and "Grandma."
"Ma-Ma" is still his favorite, and to be honest, I love that!

 Look at this handsome guy I married.  Isn't he just so cute and good lookin' - Love!



 Andrew, Jacob, Michael, and David being brothers! 

 Cousin David - Is the baby of their family, but enjoyed using his "big" cousin skills to tease Max.  It was funny to watch the tables turn when Max and David would play cars together.
 Max ate dirt - a lot of dirt at grandma's house.  And spent a lot of time in diapers, just diapers.  And LOVED every minute of his dirt and diaper parties!

PART 3:  THE POOL
Max went swimming for the first time in California.  He wasn't so sure about it first, but as soon as he realized that it was a GIANT bath tub he got over his fear.  









This vacation was JUST what the doctor ordered.  I feel like Max grew up a lot while we were in California.  He is just the best and we loved our family trip!
I have more pictures but I will add them on another post.  

HAPPY SUMMER!!
