I didn't see it at first, but after a little research (translation: looking through a multitude of Clayton's baby pictures), I think that my babies do resemble each other a bit.
Baby Clayton (6 months)
Drew's going GREEN.... eating green beans, that is. :)
Drew has been eating 4 tablespoons of oatmeal in the morning and 4 tablespoons of rice cereal at night. So, we decided to start trying other baby foods. Last night, we introduced green beans. Clayton HATED green beans as baby food, but loved them once he could eat the real thing (for some strange reason). However, Drew thought that green beans were great from the first bite. Well, maybe the second bite. :)
He made a funny face after the first bite, but was all smiles after that. I have a feeling that our big 'ole boy is not going to be a picky eater. Ha ha!
We just got back from Disneyland!!! Let me tell you what, they don't call it "the happiest place on earth" for nothin'! We had the best time!
We have been debating about taking Clayton on a Disney adventure for over a year. But... I was pregnant, then we had sweet Drew, then we debated about traveling with a newborn, and then it finally all came together. What made the whole trip possible was having 4 adults for our 2 kids. Grammie and Papaw were kind enough to go with us and we could never have pulled it off without them. They entertained Clayton on the plane, took turns watching Drew so that we could all ride the rides, and took Drew back to the hotel a couple of the days so that he could get some good naps. Thanks Marsha & Terry for all of your help!!!
I was really worried about how the boys would do. A 2 hour time change, 3 hour flight, being off schedule, cat naps for Drew, no naps for Clayton - it could have been a complete disaster. However, the boys did so good - so much better than I thought that they would. They slept on the plane, Drew was rarely fussy, Clayton only had a couple of minor meltdowns towards the end of the week, and they didn't wake up at the crack of dawn (they are pretty hardwired to wake up at 7am which would be 5am California time). I was so proud of how they both adjusted!
I don't know how they do it, but there is something in the Disney air that makes everyone into a kid again. I think that we adults had just as much fun as the kids. :) I loved getting to do things with Clayton & Drew that I remembered from my childhood. I had vivid memories of It's a Small World, the Dumbo ride, the Teacups, etc. Getting to share those things with my kids felt so nostalgic. I loved every minute of it!
One of these days I am going to make a blurb book out of this blog and it will be our family scrapbook. That's my plan, anyway. I want to make sure that all of the details of our first family Disney trip are covered. So, here's the play by play. :)
Day 1:
It was Drew's first time on an airplane! You know that his Mama dressed he & Clayton in their matching airplane shirts. :)
As soon as we took off, there was a diaper emergency that can only be accurately described in a Not Me Monday! I'll have to save that story. The thought of it makes my stomach churn. YUCK!
Shortly after the above disaster, Baby Boy was sleeping soundly and napped for the entire rest of the flight.
Clayton got a pilot hat and wings. He looked so cute, but I couldn't get him to smile normally. What a goof!
