Evan eats Thai food

Ev's appetite hasn't been good since he's been sick. He nibbles here and there but that's it. Last night we went out with our neighbors down to Main st. and ate at a Thai restaurant. Evan dined on rice, tofu, cucumbers, mango, pad thai, and some of his dad's chicken (when my back was turned). He ate well even if half of it ended up on the floor...



De-sh-sh (Evan's way of saying "delicious". He now also says "shoe" and "waffle". Whaf


Evan and his dad picked up some ladies outside. The one mimicked Donald Duck perfectly and completely won Evan over.


Evan loves hangin out with our neighbors. Here he is with Steph (he likes her because she's pretty and Brandon because he has a motorcycle).

Dad puts Evan to work

On Thursday Evan and I hung out on Main St. then we went to Mike's office to see everyone.

Here we are at the canal




Checking out the view from Mike's office. Evan played with Cheryl (mike's coworker) and had a great time with her halloween pez dispenser and Foz's wrestling dude.

Orlando - day 1

Let me just start this entry to tell you a very cute story. It's our first full day after our vacation (we got home yesterday afternoon) and Evan and I walked to the park today after I bought him soft pretzel nuggets down the street. I also brought a half-eaten banana which was sitting on top of his stroller. So we're both eating pretzel nuggets and this cute little squirrel comes up. I threw a nugget and he grabbed it and ate it. Then he kept coming back for more. He actually rested his little hands on my finger as he grabbed the pieces. Then he stole Evan's pretzel right out of his hand! I taught Evan how to hold the food out and let the squirrel grab itfrom him. I'm not kidding the squirrel was practically sitting on my lap. It was great until the squirrel jumped on top of the stroller and grabbed Evan's banana. Evan kept pointing at the squirrel yelling "NA-nana! NA-nana!" Evan hasn't quite grasped the "b" of the word banana. I tried annunciating the "b", hoping he'll get it, but instead he treats it like two separate words "Buh! Buh!.......... NA-nana." O yes... And here are pictures of our first day in Orlando. Mike summed it up saying it was sad leaving on Easter Sunday. Completely sad until we all jumped in the pool (1 of the 4 pools) at our awesome, free resort. Here's our beautiful baby living the life...

But first notice Evan's very, very first Easter


Evan's attire on Easter last year:


Easter this year!


Here we are checking in. Our plane got in 1-ish, but after getting the rental car, checking in, exploring the resort, etc... we didn't hit the pool until around 4pm.



This sign was right across from our room.



We didn't waste anytime getting into the pool.





Then we hung out at the playground.




Aw. Baby tired.


So Mike and Evan hung out on the hammock while Momma rustled up some pizza for dinner.


There I am with dinner walking up the path.

And this is what I find...

So that concludes day 1. Stay tuned for Disney shots.

Orlando- Day 2

Day 2 was spent in Downtown Disney, which isn't a park, but loads of stores and restaurants plus some amusements like Cirque du Solie and some VR stuff. We saw Lego sculptures, ate candy, and strolled around until Mike had to go to work.

Here's us getting ready at the hotel. Evan must've REALLY had to use the bathroom here. hehehe. Actually, he's pooped in the potty twice now (not in Florida though).




Here we are having lunch at an Irish themed restaurant. All 3 of dined on fish n chips and peas (I had to force Mike to eat his peas). Evan added cherrios to the mix too.





We hit some rides too...



Evan ate some gummi worms. He's wearing his "Mr. Funny" shirt.




Here's Ev on the carousel...

Orlando - day 3

This is out of order because Mike wanted me to put this post at the top. So anyway,day 3 Evan and I took the shuttle then a little ferry to Disney's boardwalk and hung out until Mike was done work. After that we went to the Magic Kingdom! I put the boardwalk pics at the bottom because the actual Disney photos are so cute.

Here we are!


As cheesy as it sounds, I actually started crying when we arrived at the magic kingdom. It's my 7th time and I have so many incredible memories of it going with my family when I was a kid. My first time I was 2 years old and we drove down. The second time I was 7 (Brittany was 3) and we drove to VA and took the auto train, which was awesome... Now I'm taking MY son. Incredible! He's been to so many places in his short life - Virginia & NJ (of course!), New York City, Key West, Orlando... and we're coming back in July. What a lucky guy! too bad he won't remember a thing...







Evan met the characters... He still talks about Donald Duck, but he had a huge reaction to Mickey the next day.





Baby boy LOVED "It's a Small World". I cried. again.


At the end of the night, Evan was beat. We put his jammies on in the park and got him home for a 10:30 bedtime. What a day!
