Disneyland, The Beach, & Valentine's Day


As soon as we walked into Disneyland we saw Donald, Pluto, and Goofy!

Channing just wanted to play with and eat Pluto's whiskers.


His reaction was priceless!


He was so excited he just had to bite Daddies fingers!

Then we got to see Alice who played peekaboo with Channing.


He was pretty stoked!


The Queen of Hearts was pretty awesome too.


The Mad Hatter was really nice and played with Channing for a little bit.


Channing went on Buzz Light Year for the first time.


He got the highest score.

As we were walking off the ride Channing kept lunging back to look at the lights on the ceiling. Of course that was his favorite part.

We went back a different day with all the Wilbur grandkids. Channing went on Storybook Garden's for the first time awake.


We also went on the carousel. He was pretty disappointed he didn't get to ride a horse like the other kids.




We went on Casey Jr. too.


All the kids!

It was a sunny day so we decided to go talk around Hunington. You can see our reflection.






Channing was crazy about the sand!

"Dad!!! Check this out!!"

"This is awesome!"

Surprisingly he did not put it into his mouth.
.It was such a beautiful day! It was so rainy and we needed the sun!

We were approached by some visiting Chinese when we were first coming in and then when were enjoying our time with Channing we were bombarded! They wanted pictures of him and our family... guess we will always be part of their memory to California. :)

Little prints.

Mommy, Baby, & Daddy

We put Channing laying down in his stroller for the first time and he was loving it! He kept playing with his feet and kicking the cup holder.

The boys


Tiny hands and feet!
At his 6 month appointment he was 17.6 lbs!
He has been sitting up since Christmas and now rocking himself all the time and rolling from one side of the room to the other.





Happy Valentine's Day!






He really wanted to eat the seashell




Valentine's weekend we decided to go to the beach. We figured it would be crazy on a sunny Saturday--but it was not at all!

Channing was in love with this stick and was determined to chew on it. He now has his 2 bottom center teeth. He got them both in the last 2 weeks.

Channing, along with his parents, were pretty disappointed at how cold the water was. Channing started to fuss at it as if to exclaim, "Hey guys! Adjust the tempurature, this is not like my bath!"


Channing got a little bear which we found that the thread pulls off--guess this one will sit on the shelf so that he does not choak on it.

He was still pretty happy because he had his squirl, his most favorite toy.

Josh got me the most beautiful boquet of roses!


I made a little collague and had a trail of hearts of a few reasons why I love him.

An awesome family from church that Josh grew up with offered for us to stay at the home for the weekend since they were out of town. It was so fun!!


Sunset Beach, CA






Since Monday was a holiday we decided to drive down Pacific Coast Highway until we found a beach we wanted to stop at. We ended up at Sunset Beach, it was all of our first time there and it was awesome. There were all these sticks that people were making huts out of and you could see the L.A. skyline.
