My mommy came!

My mom came down to visit us this weekend!! I can't tell you how excited I was.  I see her on average every two months or so, but mostly as a result of our trips up North.  It was fun to have her on our turf  (seeing Seth in his natural habitat:).  One of the days she was here we went to Disneyland!

Seth was hilarious!!!  He has always been an OPINIONATED baby.  This was clearly manifested at Disneyland.  We took him on the Carousel and he loved it.  He looked so serious  as he concentrated holding the pole.  He actually tried not to smile.  We could see him holding it back.  Mid-ride he couldn't hold it back anymore and he smiled and waved as we circled.  When the ride stopped, the water-works started.   He cried as we dismounted the horses and waved bye-bye.

AFTER...time to get off!

 

Our next stop was the Dumbo ride--his FAVORITE.  You may think I am silly, stating that my 12 month old has a favorite, but trust me,  HE DOES have a clear front runner when it comes to rides.  We waited in line and Seth pointed at the Dumbo's as they went around.  When it was his turn, he rode with Brandon and my  mom and I rode in front.  BLISS is the only way to describe the facial expression.  Once it became clear that the ride was over, his heart broke and he cried so hard (we cracked up watching him). 

 HERE IS HIS PROGRESSION

Almost there...
