Long time, no blog, sorry. There will be more soon, I promise, but this is just too good (or bad?) to not share ASAP.
This happened about 5 minutes ago when he was (supposed to be) napping.

Crazy Little Monkey Man. LOVE the clapping at the end. He's just so proud of himself.

july

We've had a busy July! We started it out going to San Marcos to visit Aunt Phyllis and Aunt Tammy for the 4th and we had a blast. Steven loved their blow up pool. Mimi came up to celebrate my birthday with us, and one of my best friends got MARRIED! I've spent several nights in Waco bachelorette partying it up and this past weekend was the wedding. Steven has spent some quality time with Nana and B making up for when they went to Alaska at the beginning of the month for 2 weeks.

Disney cuteness overload

Here are some adorable video clips from Disney.

WARNING: If you do not want the tune "It's a Small World" stuck in your head for the rest of the day/week/year, kindly turn your sound off until the second video clip. :)

Where did my baby go?

magical

This is the only word I can think of to describe our Disney World trip. It truly is the most magical, happiest place on earth.

Mimi, Uncle David, cousin Michael, Steven and I all flew to Disney World in Florida for 7 days. It was hot, to put it lightly. 110 in the sun, it felt like we were ON the sun. Despite the skin-melting heat we had such a WONDERFUL time! Steven loved it. REALLY loved it. I wasn't sure he would understand or really even enjoy it, but his eyes were wide and he pointed and gasped at every little thing. It was magical being there with him, seeing Disney World through his eyes.

Instead of hearing me blabber on about it, I'll just show you how much fun we had. WARNING: tons of pictures ahead. : )

Ready for take off!

Before we even took off...


We wasted no time, this was just a few hours after we landed

Already drenched in sweat!

Steven LOVED "It's a Small World"

Character breakfast at our resort, with Lilo and Stitch, and Mickey!

At Tom Sawyer's Island

At a restaurant called Raglan Road Irish Pub in Downtown Disney- they had live Irish music and dancing and Steven had a blast!

Silly Michael!

Steven was so great in his stroller

kisses for the criket

Goofy and Pluto

We had a character breakfast with Pooh and Friends and I think this was Steven's favorite!

Telling Pooh stories...

kisses for Pooh!

soooo cute. : )

Piglet!

Tigger came and grabbed Steven's hand and they paraded around the restaurant together. It was honestly one of the cutest things I've seen him do thus far!

Look at that cute smile!

Trying to cheer Eeyore up

maybe kisses will do the trick....

He was totally wiped out every night!

Hollywood Tower of Terror Hotel. Probably the scariest ride I've ever been on. And that's saying a lot.

Toy Story

This probably comes in a super close second of the cutest things he's done. He RAN up to Goofy to give him a hug and WOULD NOT let go! We kept asking him to turn around and he just stood there hugging him. ::melt::

and hugging him....

aaaand hugging him....

Goofy started blushing...

uuhhh, Steven?

There are other kiddos here...

FINALLY! hahaha

more kisses

I'm still not sure who this character is or what he's from, but we took pictures with him anyway
