Last week, we had the joy of taking David to Disney World (for his second trip - the first one where he actually stayed awake). Before you protest, we are indeed aware that he will not remember the trip and that he will enjoy it more as he ages. Chris' family was gathering for the week in the Magic Kingdom, and we were just thrilled to be a part of the magical experience, little baby and all.
Truthfully, I think David did enjoy his time in the Disney empire. He sat up like a big kid in his umbrella stroller, watched all the lights go by, and seemed captivated by the hustle and bustle of it all. The hit of the experience was a ride on "it's a small world" which found David wide-eyed, constantly turning his head to capture every moment of the singing and movement. Sadly, the Haunted Mansion did not go over so well - apparently our little guy is not a big fan of scary yellow eyes or things that go bump in the night (he must take after his father). Another highlight of the trip was watching David interact with his little cousin Layla (6 weeks younger than him), and we got to ooh and ahh as they held hand and babbled at one another.
As always, David's presence brought so much joy and laughter to the entire family. Although Chris and I have been to Disney World countless times, it was an entirely new and exciting trip to experience the magic through the eyes of a child.

Hi Jen,Chris and Baby David!
I just love your blog. I look at it from time to time and it brings such a smile to my face. You two are certainly enjoying parenthood. I knew that you would make the perfect parents. My favorite pic is David in the blue baseball cap with Dad in the background. Those blue eyes are something to behold!
I can't wait to see you and your precious David.
Love you,
Debbie Nelson
