William's first swim day...

...too bad he slept through the fun at the pool but at least he got to wear his suit and hat.

Mr. Fancy Pants

...except he isn't wearing any pants

He is saying "quit laughing Mom, I'm trying to be serious"

4 month stats for William

Height: 24.63" (24%)

Weight: 13 lbs, 8.5 oz (12%) but gestational percentage is 50% since he was 4 weeks early

Head circumference: 15.87" (13%)

He eats every 3-4 hours during the day, 5x a day at 6 ounces each time. Sometimes he doesn't finish it all but he is sleeping through the night... so I'm not worried.

The doctor says he is doing wonderful and to keep up the good work. 

William is 4 months!

DISNEYLAND!!!

Yes, we went to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA for a day.  We woke up at 5am PST and drove there in the dark.  We didn't tell her we were going until the morning of.  She was so excited but wanted to make sure we were NOT going to Maleficient's castle from Sleeping Beauty.
We were able to do so much in the morning before our lunch reservations at Ariel's Grotto.  It was truly magical.  We had some tour guides that showed us what to do, how to do it and when to do it.

 It's A Small World ride

Teacups!!

Dumbo ride

Lydia's smile all day long was so worth it all...

Kiernan got to meet Goofy

How many Princesses can you meet in one morning?

All the characters were just amazing and really took the time to talk with Lydia.

Her dream come true...to meet Anna and Elsa

Tinker-bell and Illuminessa were there too!

And of course Belle...

We ate lunch at Ariel's Grotto.

We sang Happy Birthday to Kiernan at lunch...a couple days early...she turns 1!!

And she slept for most of the drive back to San Diego...

San Diego Trip 3 of 3

After Mary, Brendan and Kiernan got into town, we went to the zoo!  We tried to re-create some pictures we took there from 2 years ago.  This time we got to see more monkeys and watch an elephant eat.

Same picture background as 2 years ago...

Last couple of days in San Diego...and on the flight home -

San Diego Trip 2 of 3

One of the nights in San Diego, Nana and Grandpa watched Lydia and William while we stayed the night at a hotel.  Of course we chose one in La Jolla.  We stayed at the La Valencia Hotel and got a great room with a view.  I took a nap while Blair worked out and then we went to dinner at George's at the Cove.  We walked around for a while before heading to bed.  I got some great sleep and was able to sleep in too.  We ate breakfast very slowly (with no kids) and enjoyed the view.
Then Nana, Grandpa, Lydia and William came to the hotel and got to enjoy some of the amenities there before we checked out.  Lydia and Blair went back to the beach and then came to the hotel pool while the rest of us had some drinks by the pool.  It was such a relaxing time.

Back at the Big Cottage, Grandpa helped watch Lydia and William.

Breakfast the next morning on the terrace.
