Micah's 3rd Birthday!

Our baby boy turns three in the morning! How is that possible?!? We started our celebration early with a stay at the Anaheim Marriott and Disneyland! We checked in to the hotel on Sunday and had a fun and chilly afternoon swimming in the pool before walking to the Garden Walk for a yummy dinner at PF Chang's-they have a surprisingly tasty vegan selection!  Micah's favorite parts of the hotel were the phone (not sure how many times he got through to a real person but he kept saying-"I am talking to the guy!"  and the balcony where he could watch everyone in the pool.We all cuddled up in the hotel room (so sweet...one of those "burn in your brain memories") and woke up early to spend the day at Disneyland. We had so much fun and got to do so much! When we first got there it wasn't too busy and the weather was nice and cool so we were able to do a lot right away before it got busy. We did the Redwood Creek Trail, the Little Mermaid, the Zephyr, King Triton's carousel, Toy Story, a couple rides in Bug's Life (including the Ladybug Boogie which was Micah's favorite!), a cute interactive show with the Crusher the turtle from Finding Nemo, saw a band performance, the Dumbo ride, King Arthur's carousel, and the Tiki room! When Mama & Micah were on the Ladybug ride they giggled non-stop and Micah wanted to go on it again immediately. He was soooo brave! He didn't bat an eye at the rides flying in the air an spinning. He loved the Little Mermaid Ride and we were stoked we got on when the line was so short! Micah got his birthday button and had a special birthday song sung to him by the entire children's room! We decorated the downstairs with balloons, streamers, and other decorations for Micah to come down to in the morning.

We've noticed that Micah's brain has definitely been through a developmental leap as his thinking and speaking has grown increasingly complex over the last two weeks. Today he had us dying laughing by saying things like "I am a man" or in response to us trying to get him to leave the hotel "BUT I am celebrating my BIRTHDAY!!!," He is also telling very long, adorable stories and isn't afraid to tell his opinion to anyone who will listen. He is also quite the skilled negotiator.

At Micah's 3 year check-up he was in the 68th percentile for height and weight!
