The Deardurff Family: July 2015

G is pretty fascinated by ponies and horses right now. She has been for a little over a year. A couple weeks ago there was an event at our 4H center that included pony rides so of course we were in. G was thrilled at the thought of getting to ride a pony or horse (again). She was not thrilled, however, when we arrived and had to wait in line for over an hour. We made it threw the line and she couldn't have been happier. Her 3rd birthday is later this month and she is getting a pony/horse theme party complete with a party at the farm with a petting zoo and PONY RIDES!
Last week we all boarded a plane and headed to Orlando, FL. We spent two days in Disney World and the rest of the week swimming with Papaw, Nana, Aunties, Uncles, and cousins at the resort. G had a blast! She loved seeing the castle, princesses, and riding rides. She also loved the water. A tolerated the week, but at times he got over stimulated and melted down. It was a busier and HOTTER week than what he is used to. We also got to see and visit with great-grandma (Daddy's grandma) who we hadn't seen in a few years. It was wonderful!
Since being back home A has developed a new skill: rolling from back to belly. Look out world - he is on the move. He is so strong! Vacation set his night time sleep way back. We are slowing falling back into routine. A good night is him sleeping a 6 hour stretch, then getting a diaper change and nursing, then back to bed for about 3 more hours. He likes to sleep with his lovey. I think he is working on a tooth (or two). He is really chomping on anything he can get his hands on and been a bit fussy. We've also battled constipation since starting solids. We've moved away from rice cereal and are having more vegetables and fruits. Prunes have become a staple in his diet because they just work!
