*DISNEY DAY 3 - MAGIC KINGDOM*

This is our favorite place out of all of them.  Plus Coen could do almost all the rides! 

We also decided to bring the stroller this time and the baby carrier.  It was nice to have to hall all of our stuff!

The girls rode Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad over and over, so Coen and I just hung out in a shop on the side.  It had a rocking chair, so we just hung out all afternoon.

*DISNEY DAY 2 - ANIMAL KINGDOM & EPCOT

Day 2 of Disney and everyone still did great.  We went to Animal Kingdom and rode Jay's favorite ride the "Safari."  We also rode Expedition Everest a million times.  They have a child swap where they give you a fast pass for three returning riders, so that meant that Jay and the girls could go ride the ride while I watched Coen.  When they were done, they came back and the girls and I got to go back on the ride instantly.  They got to ride all the rides double the times.
Alexa fed these huge black birds as we waited for Maren and Dad to pick up fast passes.  There were so many black birds and they would come up right to where you were sitting.
The girls also picked to ride the water ride, Kali River Rapids, even though it was so cold.  They got drenched first thing in the morning, but quickly dried up by riding all the other rides.
I think Coen's favorite part of the day was the cool animals at the Baby Care Center.  He just stared and laughed at them as I changed him out of his clothes into his jammies.
After the day at Animal Kingdom we went to Epcot where we met Mickey, Minnie & Goofy.  Minnie played peek-a-boo with Coen and the girls took turns on who held him for the photos.  We also went to Turtle Talk with Crush, which the girls always love.  It gave me a chance to give Coen a bottle.  We aren't a huge fan of Epcot, so we just made a quick trip there since that's where our shuttle picked us up at. 

*FIRST DAY AT DISNEY - HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS*

We decided to do Hollywood Studios for the first day.  Since Coen was small enough we just did a backpack for all of his stuff and strapped him to the front of me in a baby carrier.  He took all of his naps and bottles in his carrier as well.  Fort being stuck to me all day and evening he was so good.

Coen and I ended up staying a lot of the time in the Baby Care Center so he could nurse and have his diaper changed, while Jay and the girls rode rides.  Alexa finally braved the Tower of Terror and ended up loving it.  It was Maren's favorite ride still. 

Some of the things we didn't expect was how cold it was the first night and how many times we ended up changing Coen's clothes throughout the day!

*ITS A DISNEY CHRISTMAS*

The kids got a special surprise this morning when they woke up.  Santa surprised them with a mini Christmas.  They woke up to find presents under the tree.  I woke up super early to feed Coen, so I was still up in our bed when I heard Maren wake up and wonder downstairs.  I heard her little footsteps run into Alexa's room to wake her up to alert her about what she had found.  It wasn't long before we heard them running up the stairs to our room to let us know what they found.

We headed downstairs to look at what was left under the tree.  There were numbered packages with each of the kids' names on it.  They got new socks and underwear (Coen of course got diapers).  They also got matching outfits and autograph books. 

We hurried up and finished packing (Santa had let me know the plan earlier so I could prepare) and we went that day to the airport to fly to Orlando.  The next day we were in Disney.

*JUST COEN AND THE DOG*

Coen is gaining length and size on Rollie.  Soon he will dominate.

 

*SEVEN WEEKS*

Seven Week Recap

1. Coen is engaging with us for longer periods of time now.
2. He slept for over 5 hours one night and six and a half another night, giving us a much needed rest. 
3. Coen keeps losing more and more hair, but he is still super cute.  I don't remember the girls losing this much hair.
4. One of my favorite things he does is when he wraps his little baby toes around my finger.  He looks like a little monkey.
