Four Months.

 

Baby Asher is 4 months old.

 

He is as healthy as a hog, weighing in at 15lbs 11oz and 26.13 long.

 

He is starting to eat rice cereal, although he doesn't seem to like it much.

He is not the best sleeper (nap or night), but he's the sweetest boy in the world!

He loves loves loves to be held, which basically means my house looks like a tornado came through it at all times.

He laughs at his brother.

He loves his pacificer.

He can roll over from tummy to back.

He loves to go for walks in the stroller.

Happy four months sweet boy!

Jonah's 3rd Birthday Party

Jonah had a really great birthday party!  All his little friends came and we played allll day.

 

The theme was Cars - of course!

 

 

Jonah in his new Power Wheels police car from his Mimi and Pop Pop, Anna and Pop and Aunt Jody!  He was afraid of it at first, but now he loves it!

 

I had little wooden cars that the kids could paint and take home.

 

His cupcake cake I made myself!  Turned out really cute!

 

Traffic light brownies. I had fun coming up with cars themed decor.

 

The box the car came in was a big hit too.

 

 

Happy Birthday to Jonah!

 

All his friends!

 

Can't believe in less than a week Jonah with be 3!!!



SeaWorld

Our Sea World passes expired yesterday and we are not renewing them, so I really wanted to head down there one more time. The park was empty and we had a really fun time. 

 

They had the flamingos out in front and I don't think I have really ever been that close to one.  They are alot bigger than I thought.

 

This is a two-toed sloth.  SO cool! I got to feed her a piece of sweet potato.

 

Since noone was there, we got to get really close to the dolphin, Jonah loves the dolphin and usually there are so many people around that it's hard to get them to come close.

 

The dolphin girl!  Reliving my days at the Baltimore Aquarium when I got called down to pet the dolphin in front of everyone. What does it feel like they ask......I think I said "a hotdog".  I was seven.

 

Jonah petting an American Alligator.

 

Sweet Asher slept most of the time.

 

Love this...

Fun Day!!

 

a little safari.

Today I took the boys to the San Diego Safari Park.

The weather was ideal. 70 degrees and sunny - practically a sin to not spend the day outdoors.

 

Jonah and his friend Oliver at the meercats.

 

 

 

My running man (in his new running shoes).

 

The lions were so pretty!  They were out enjoying the sun too.  Jonah said "look Mom, Lion King!"

 

On the tram taking our "African Safari".

 

Jonah's favorite thing - feeding the Lorikeets.  They were hungry.......

 

 

 

I had to make this picture extra large, because seriously - how cute is he?

Birthday at Disney

 

I decided that I was going to celebrate my birthday this year like I was only ten, not the big 3-0!

 

We also wanted to take Jonah to CarsLand before he turned 3 and cost a ticket!  So, we combined the 30 year birthday milestone with the I am going to take full advantage of having a two year old, not three year old and go to Disney.

 

The day started out a little rough as Jonah decided he wasn't a fan of his apple juice, or Dad's driving, or maybe the vitamin on an empty stomach and proceeding to throw up all over himself and my car.  This is actually the second year in a row he's vomited on my birthday.  Hmmm.

 

After a pull off on the freeway, a change of clothes and some major wipe downs, we were off to have the "magical" day Disney promises.

 

I was BEYOND excited for Jonah to see CarsLand.  He is obsessed with anything Lightening McQueen so I couldn't wait to show him Disney's interpretation of Radiator Springs.  It took him a little while to warm up and I am not quite sure he actually got it, but it was very very cool.

 

 

Disney really out did themselves with this attraction.  It looks exactly like the movie.  It had some fun rides for younger kids and older kids.  One of my favorite rides actually was the cars ride that took  you through Radiator Springs and raced other people. Jonah was too short to go on it, but Brody and I enjoyed it!

 

The characters were all out and the lines to say hi weren't too bad.  Jonah however decided to be shy -something he is definetly not.

 

Jonah meeting Mator.  Very cool for a mom whose son loves his cars.  It was like Jonah was meeting his idol, haha.

 

Radiator Springs.

 

Jonah wasn't as shy meeting Mickey.  He had a big smile the whole time.  Mickey really liked Asher too.

 

Walking through Mickey's house.

 

Radiator Springs at night.  The whole town turned on their lights and it was so cool.

 

Little train ride in A Bug's Life.

 

This little guy was mommy's champ all day!  He was SO good. 

 

Jonah's best friend, Lightening McQueen.

 

Ice Cream - Chocolate of course!

 

Jonah and Brody on Finding Nemo ride.  Jonah liked this one too, although when it got dark, he kept yelling "I can't see!!!".

 

Bumpy start but a fun day. Here's to my next thirty years!

 

Thanks for all the bday love.
