- I always feel the
need to put the disclaimer on this and future Disney
entries that if not for being 100% free thanks to
Jimmy, we would never take a baby this young to
Disneyland. Maybe it's my modest upbringing but a trip
to Disney was literally a once-in-a-childhood
thing. And you didn't spend that unless every kid was
old enough to not only remember it, but to
APPRECIATE IT and at the very least be able to
ride the rides. So there's honestly a teeny bit of
"sting" to the fact that we're able to go on a whim
like most people go to a movie. All that being said?
Disneyland is an awfully interesting place to a 12
month old. And it's an awesome excuse to tell
stories...
-
-
- Ha. The balloon
shot always makes Talya cry. :-) Oh and if you didn't
see the last Disney video, it's kind of a
continuation...
-
-
- Incredible
considering we didn't know we were having a boy when
we shot that. :-)
-
- Alright - so for
those that want to skim an entry rather than watch a
video... here's a few pics and anecdotes:
-
 -
- I know it's
the land of make-believe, but boy did they pull a
number on Vienna and her favorite food: grapes. This
poor kid sat there forever trying to figure this shit
out. LEFT... came BACK to it:
-
 -
- Kinda cool she
just accepted they weren't comin' off and didn't go
ape-shit. I think that's what the terrible-twos
are for. :-)
-
- Goofy was kinda
freaky the first time...
-
 -
- ...and not a lot
changed:
-
 -
- The issue is she
needs eye-contact and it freaks her out when he moves
towards her... but those stomach muscles are
impressive. She loved watching him from afar though
and smiled and yelled as you saw in the
video...
-
 -
- Adore that pic.
It's the eyes... it's always been the
eyes:
-
 -
- Somehow Vienna
pulled off the entire day without her afternoon nap.
She was up for 10 straight hours which I believe is a
new personal record. We were certainly proud of her.
No crying! There's just so much new stuff for her to
see, I'm not even sure when she would? Again, when
she's older? There will be minor meltdowns, no doubt.
But it sure is fun when she's in awe of
everything...
-
 -
- ...which included
Minnie. Certainly her favorite character of the day.
-
 -
- Whew. Good stuff.
Happy, exhausted family. And tomorrow? Marks 3 years
since Talya and I met. Incredible.
