Opening his first Christmas gift

OK here is another fun video from our trip to Virgina.

This was my Bug's first Christmas where he could really rip open gifts.  So naturally we video tapped it, took pictures the whole nine and it was funny...it was a long process though.

i would upload a video BUT it was to large sooo if you wanna see you'll have to catch me with my camera sometime.  The HIT gift of the holiday was a jack-n-the box.  My aunt figured she had one when she was little and he should have one too...funniest thing ever.  He still doesn't get the concept of turning the handle to get him to pop out but we are learning!

 

Christmas in the Cold

Our trip was amazing!

i now know the Bug has a 4 hour time limit on being in a confined space, maybe a 5 at most.  Our flight to VA was 4 hours so he did very well.  The flight on the way back he was waving at passengers saying "see ya". Cute but so sad at the same time.  He was a trooper though. 

Family time was amazing and great.  We went to DC, we went to Georgetown, the Bug saw snow fall from the sky, and we ate...we ate and ate!  I love my family and i think i am so blessed to be able to take the time to spend with them. 

Talking John App

I have this application on my IPOD that my baby bug enjoys.  Its two little bacteria's floating around bouncing all over the screen. When you talk to them they repeat everything you say.  One of the great things on my IPOD that keeps him occupied.  The video made me laugh so i figured i share the laugh today!

The Bug is ROUGH

Grammy started playing this game with my Baby Bug where when she is sitting on the floor he pushes her down (one handed tackle) then he pulls her back up.  She calls it playing with him and she gets to work her abs all at the same time.  WELL this would be great EXCEPT he thinks he can do this with every person who sitting or laying on the floor.  He will walk up to you and push you down and then hen you are laying down he walks behind you and pulls you up...by the hair.  I am trying to break him of this by explaining he cant pull you up by the hair, and to let him know he does not have to get upset or frustrated when people do not wanna always play when they are sitting and resting on the floor.  

Then we came to the east coast and he started playing my game with my cousins...well they get a kick out it too1  So its hard for me to keep telling him not to do that and everyone is laughing and egging him on...this is why my Baby Bug is spoiled.  He is not a bratt but he is spoiled.  I guess thats what happens when your the only little one in the family.  There has to be some fun rather than hearing "no" "dont touch" and "stop" all day. 

Poor Christmas Penguin

My aunt has this little Penguin that sings and dances in a circle when you press its fin.  Most hilarious, loud annoying toy of the year. Of course my Bug LOVES it too! he always picks it up by the hat, drags it around, and places it facing the fire place.  I am sure if that penguin could talk he wold ask me when we are leaving this coast so he will no longer be tormented. With out fail when the penguin is turned on my Bug lights up and laughs the entire time he walks in his circle singing his song. 

Drums

Maybe music is in my Bugs future.

My aunt has a drum in her living room and it has now become my Bugs favorite little toy.  He drags it, carries it and beats on it all the time.  Its really funny because he gets into it, like he can the beat...take a look and enjoy ;o)

Break Down on flight till day 2 of our trip...

I was really anxious to see what my Bugs reaction would be like flying. I got to the airport so very early, was getting on the shuttle and Leonard Roberts walks off and says "ma'am let me help you". I was star truck and in awe this beautiful man was so nice and helping with out me having to ask for help or struggle!

We got in the airport and check in then we had to go through TSA. It wasn't to bad until they checked my Bugs milk that had to travel. I had two sippy cups and two Capri Suns. The milk past inspection just fine, but the capris set off the machine like crazy. It started beeping and flashing "explosive detected" in red all over the screen! I was like um u can just toss them I don't want a hassle and they did but then I got the pat down and got fondled. They kept letting me know I was not traveling with his juice and I kept letting them know it was fine I didn't want the hassle of anything else.

Then we got to the gate and I let the bug run around! He hadn't slept all morning so he was exhausted by the time they let us board. He fell asleep during boarding! Which was awesome because he slept for 2.5 hours. Then he woke up and was restless for an hour, then calmed down for the last hour and just watched the lights out side as we started to land.

We have had the greatest time so far! We went to Washington Union Station shopped and ate lunch. The bug even saw a model train set running.

So far its been an awesome trip, its just COLD! I'm cold all day and night and can't wait to get back to cali's warm arms, but I'm curious to see what the flight home has in store.

 Until then I'm enjoying this time with our family and all that is new my Baby Bug is seeing!
