What did you say?

Mr. B (almost 18 months) has quite the budding vocabulary. No surprise considering his big sister and her non-stop chatting! Here are a few of the fun things he says:

"waff" - waffle

"ee a go" - here you go

"ank oo" - thank you

"man e nin" - Madeline

"guck" - truck

"gack" - snack

"wadoo" - water

"muck" - milk

And of course, too many more too count, a few of which are mama, dada, ball, bowl, night-night, cat, dog, and lots of animal sounds.

It is so fun to watch his personality continue to develop. He is very much a mamas boy right now (much to my chagrin!) and he screams whenever I even leave the room, but we are assuming this is a passing phase and hope it ends quickly! Other than that, he is so easy going and loves to play with trains, cars, and anything else that "goes" - typical boy, right???

Trip to California

We returned a few days ago from a fabulous week in California! We visited family, spent 3 days at Disneyland Resort (see photos in next post), enjoyed a couple of beach days, and celebrated Madeline's 4th birthday. Jon's parents drove over from their winter place in AZ and joined us for one day at Disneyland and then we went with my parents on another day. The day in between was spent at CA Adventure (the other Disney theme park) with just the adult Meyers - Maddie and Brogan went to the beach with my mom and dad. After all the birthday madness, my grandparents came to visit (from AZ) and spend time with the kids. We went to Irvine Regional Park to ride the train, feed the ducks, ride ponies, and visit the little zoo there. It was a blast!

Madeline's Disneyland Birthday

Disneyland was a wonderful as I remember - we had perfect weather and it truly was magical to experience "the happiest place on earth" through the eyes of a little girl. We took hundreds of photos but below are just a few of our time at the park.
