Vacation!!!

So I have been trying to update this site since we came home from vacation last Saturday... Needless to say it hasn't happened until now. It looks like we got out of California just in time. We had a great time! I have lots of pictures this time.





So I am going to try to keep these in order of our experiences:) Gage likes the English Phone booth at the Queen Mary. He thought it was a lot of fun to hide in it.















The second picture is of the ball room on the Queen Mary. It's Halloween time... So I thought I would point out all of the orbs. If you believe in the paranormal you know what these are:) There are actually 7 in this picture.










For those of you who have not been on a cruise you have to go through a drill every time... Gage didn't mind the life jacket for the first minute!












Here we are at the San Diego Zoo. Yeah I know I probably wasn't supposed to sit on the Polar Bear, but I couldn't resist. Chris was surprised; he wanted to do it, but thought I would get mad at him. It just goes to show you that even after 12 years I still catch him off guard sometimes:)


















Catalina Island. No Gage did not get to drink the good stuff... We just wanted everyone to know what a liter of Beer looks like! Wow, yes we did drink every bit. And they were only $11. What a bargain!!!










Finally... My son the contortionist! I was taking a nap and Chris was watching Gage in disbelief as he climbed into the cabinet and turned himself around to this position. He didn't know how to get out:)

Learning new words

Well, over the weekend Gage and I decided we would give Daddy a break to study for his upcoming Civil test so we went to the lake with Nana and Papa. While we were there Nana taught Gage a new word... CANDY!!! I had intentionally not taught him this word, but I have to say that it did come in handy already. Yesterday Chris was giving Gage infant Triaminic (sp?) in the quick dissolve form and told him it was... wait for it... you guessed it CANDY!!! Gage was happy to take it. Before we had to wrestle him to the ground to get him to take the stuff and it doesn't even taste bad:) Thanks Nana!
I am also attaching some recent picks Grandma B took of Gage this week!
