Day one was a success. For day two, we got up and headed straight into the park. It was more crowded then last year but we didn't have to wait more then 10 minutes for a ride. Of course we visited the princesses and Mickey and Minnie. We did all the rides in Fantasyland, although Small World and Tea Cups were under construction :( Ryan and Chase got to ride Splash Mountain. Apparently after some of the smaller drops Chase would say, "I didn't even feel that. I want the big one." William did amazing. He was super happy just riding along in the front pack. The pack gave us the freedom to get on rides while he was napping, although that meant I had to carry him all day. It was a long day but we had a great time.

Disney- day one

We just got back from our annual family trip to Disney. This year we went with our friends John and Kim and their little girls, Ella and Leah. We had a great time.

We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge again, we love that hotel. The first day we played in the pool, Chase loves the water slide there. He must have run up there 20 times. The girls just enjoyed swimming around, although they tried the slide they were both tossed around a bit and opted not to ride any more. William put his toes in and then enjoyed a cozy nap in the stroller. Then we went to the Hoop Dee Doo Review dinner show. It was funny, the food was great (what I could eat of it) and all the kids were entertained. The last part of the show was a play performed by the actors and a few audience members. Chase was asked to go on stage and be the sheriff! He got to point his fingers and "shoot" the bad guy. He was adorable. The cast members were so sweet to him up there. He even got a certificate and printed picture. In one part the cast all folded their hands in prayer so he did too ;) It was certainly the highlight of our trip.

Children's Museum Unveiling

Tampa opened the Glazer's Children Museum this weekend and we were lucky enough to get a sneak peak the night before. It is really cute, the firehouse was one of our favorites. I am sure we will be spending many afternoons playing there, especially because it is right next to Ryan's office! BTW, they did have people doing face painting but Olivia did her own face painting which explains her purple forehead :)

Dairy Free, Egg Free, Soy Free

About a month ago we discovered William has a sensitivity to dairy, soy, and eggs. Although he is a super happy baby with no fussiness and no usual signs of digestive problems, we saw blood in his stool and took him straight to the doctor. She ruled other causes out and concluded that he has some food sensitivity. In order to continue nursing I have had to cut those things out of my diet. It has been an interesting experience. Thankfully one of my friends has recently gone through this with her daughter so she has acted as a guide to eating within the new limits. I have been so surprised that soy is used in so many things. And forget about any fast food and lots of restaurant food. I just ate a plain burger between two lettuce leaves (because most bread has soy). William is doing much better, and we are managing it but thank goodness for avocados! I can reintroduce some products in 3 months and see if he has outgrown it yet. I am really hoping that this is short lived :)

12 Weeks Old!

William is a big boy now- hitting the 12 week mark! Hopefully that will translate to longer stretches between feedings (so I don't spend all morning in the car nursing) and sleeping more at night (preferably all night but I would be happy with 5 hour stretches).

He is very busy now. He loves laying in the floor and kicking. He can roll over from his tummy to his back- when he has had enough tummy time. And he is always smiling and laughing.
