Spring Break...

We took Graham to Disneyland last week. We needed a little family getaway. 

Here are some of Graham's favorite things from the trip...

1. The Stickers!  (underneath his hand) Every worker hands out these huge stickers. They kept him entertained in lines, riding in the stroller, waiting for dinner, etc. 

2. Our hotel phone! 

We don't have a phone at our house, well we do but it is only to call down to the security desk and G is not allowed to play with it. So you can imagine his delight when he could "pretend" on this phone all he wanted.

3. The little splash area at Disneyland. Really he would scream every time we pulled him away. All he wanted to do was stand at these bowls of water and splash his hands around.

4. Meeting Mickey! He doesn't look very pleased in this picture, because he was sick of getting his picture taken. Plus he didn't like it when the characters stood to the side of him...he wanted them face to face. He was giggling and squealing, and giving away kisses and hugs like nobody's business.

5. The car in front of Auto...blast I forget the name. Anyway, HAD to sit in it every time he saw it.

6. Making new friends! We were waiting in line to go to Tarzan's Island. This little boy just wanted to touch Graham's chubby cheeks.

7. Did I mention the stickers? He loves to put them on his belly button. Months ago I showed him how to do this when I was trying to entertain him. Ever since, the sticker goes straight on the belly.

8. Spending time with Dad! Isn't this picture great? So uncharacteristic of OJ. :)

9. Spending time with Mom, and yes that is ANOTHER sticker in his hand.

Shake Dance

A while ago I invented the shake song. Be prepared, you will be "wowed" by my lyrics. I invented this song because Graham would get so impatient when I was getting his milk ( milk is nasty here, so he drinks a higher level formula) Anyway, his dance moves are killer. We giggle everytime. So this isn't the best representation. He gets a little distracted wanting to say "cheese" for the camera. But you get the idea. And my song...it's copyrighted. Don't even think of stealing it. :)

Bubbles...

City Boy.

It has been interesting to watch Graham adapt to his surroundings. This is right after church. We were waiting for the bus. I looked down and Graham had found himself a seat. He gets so excited every time he sees our bus coming. He insists on beeping the octopus card (used for all public transportation) when we get on. He loves sitting on the top level on the very front row so he can see all of the cars below him.  With a taxi he hops right in and loves to give the driver our money, and always stands outside and waves goodbye. When we are waiting for the train he stands patiently on the platform behind the yellow line looking left then right. As soon as he can see the train coming he yells, "Dadoo". (not quite sure what that means) and shakes his head back and forth really quickly (because the train passes so fast).

We love our City Boy!

(He's getting really good at his cheesy smile)

(but then he gets as close to the camera as possible...holding the cheesy/scary grin the whole time:)
