one last hurrah...

It's my final week off with Bodhi.  Sherry and I decided to try one more time at Disneyland before I have to go back.  We tried once before and it was quite difficult, but we learned some important lessons and were ready to try again.

Mason, of course, had a great time.  He loves it there.   The first time we tried to do too much and wake the babies to go on rides... which they hated.  This time we let them rest when they wanted to and things went much more smoothly.

With this new philosophy, even the babies had a great time.  Bodhi had a good time looking at all the people and even riding a few rides.  No crying at all this time...

And that was it.  Even outnumbered 2 to 3 we kept everyone happy and had a great day.  Thanks to Sherry for making my last week so fun!

half birthday

Bodhi's half birthday was on the 16th of this month. The last six months have gone by so fast! He is learning new things everyday. He recently learned how to creep (not quite a crawl) and has been practicing how to sit up. He smiles and laughs a lot and likes to look at everything that Mom and Dad are doing. The immunizations this time were not that bad. In fact Bodhi didn't even cry after the first shot. But, of course, he definitely felt the second and third shot and let it be known that he was not happy, ouch! Several days later he got a fever and Ray and I thought it was related to his shots. But, it was something entirely different. He had a fever for about three days before he got a terrible rash. Turns out he caught Roseola which is a viral infection that is common in babies. Poor little guy. He was so miserable. He ended up sleeping in our bed for a couple of nights since he would cry every time we put him in his crib. We were all happy when it all cleared up a few days later. He is a happy baby again. Yay!
