TROY (finally) ROLLED OVER!

Tom and I were starting to worry that Troy might graduate from high school, still unable to roll over. However, today he made his big debut as a roller and I was actually here for it.  I started cheering and he looked at me, like "what's the big deal, Mom?"  

San Diego Zoo

I was in Claire's wedding this weekend in La Jolla, and on Saturday, when I was getting ready for the wedding, my parents and Tom went to the San Diego Zoo with Troy!  
We always call Troy, "Monkey Toes" because he has these incredibly long toes that like to grip things.  So, they had to get a picture in front of the Monkey Trails!

Vacation in San Diego

We stayed down at the Hyatt in Downtown San Diego.  We had the most wonderful time.  It was so nice to get away for a while.
Our hotel was right on the harbor, and it was easy to take the stroller and walk by the boats.  Here, of course, you can see that Troy has suckered Tom into carrying him!
We toured the USS Midway.  It was so interesting to see how the servicemen slept and ate.  That ship is huge!

We decided to risk it and take Troy to Roy's with us in San Diego.  He was so well-behaved!  What a relief!  Tom and I felt very encouraged that we can travel with the baby.

First Time in the Pool

As some of you remember from the shower, Tom's brother Bob, and sister-in-law, Alison, have the most beautiful pool in their backyard.  They were kind enough to invite us over for Troy's first time in the pool.  
After putting the 12 layers on needed to protect the pool from Troy, we got in the water.  He never fussed or complained, and after a bit, seemed to really enjoy it! 

Of course, the best part of the pool is the exhaustion afterwards!  He fell right asleep after changing out of his bathing suit.

iPhones!

Yes, Tom, Troy and I waited for 3 hours on Friday evening to get the new iphones!  Troy was a trooper and now Tom and I are obsessed with the phones.  It is amazing how much they can do.

Fourth of July weekend

For the Fourth of July, we went to the Angels' game.  They have the most terrific fireworks show, and Troy was such a good guy on this long, hot day.  Tom, Crystal and Oma ran in the Huntington Beach 5K, which was a great time!
Alison and Bob invited us down on Sunday to hang out at their Balboa Beach house.  It is so beautiful down there and we had a great time!

So cute!

Bob put Troy to sleep, just like MAGIC!!

Summertime at Disneyland

First ride on the Disneyland Train!  Troy loved looking at all of the plants and (fake) animals.
Oma bought him his first Mickey outfit.  Now, if we could only get him to smile for the camera!
After a few hours, Troy fell fast asleep.  I guess we wore him out instead of the other way around for a change!
