MYA
jackson's legit the only one she loves unconditionally. always tries to tickle him and claps for him to try to get him to smile. looks out for him and puts pillows and blankets behind him so "he doesn't fall"
gave her jelly beans to try for the first time while we were on vaca in LA because it was around the house. unsurprisingly she loved it! one of her first times having real candy
learning spanish at school and sings us bueno dias
sings along with mickey mouse clubhouse theme song when it starts!
cats are still her favorite even after meeting calvins and carltons dogs for the first time! surprisingly does not get scared when dogs bark (in fact, she loves it!) carlo tried to get them to be quiet b/c he thought it would startle mya, but mya actually yelled at carlo that she liked it lol
she really loved the dogs! stayed in calvin & susanna's room just staring at bao bao for prob at least over 30 m? we left her alone while we were doing other things and she was just occupied lol
so good about pushing bedtime.. did prob 8-9 hours of sleep (no nap) the first few days we were at disneyland.. unfortunately, that bit us in the butt later, bc she was SUPER overtired the next few days and knocked out at 3-5 PM and slept over over 12 hours straight through. poor girl. what a soulja
loved sleeping on the top bunk in the airbnb
loved playing with water and got FOMO when she saw chloe playing with water toys. kicked around in the jacuzzi
fav part of disneyland was following r2d2.. so cute! loved dole whip and the mango whip thing. loves riding rides and generally was patient at waiting in lines, though there were many times she was DEFINITELY tired, but she pushed through it
watched TV literally the WHOLE time on the airplane ride there (4 hours..) crazy lol
new besties at school are devi & benji
overall adjustment to the plane, trip, living in the airbnb and coming back was all so stellar! so proud of her.
LOVES being helpful! fav saying "if you need help, just tell me, okay?"

jackson
a full crawler. still crawls and grabs everything. loves anything new.
had his tube surgery after we got back from vacation.
not too much new!! sleeps NOT GREAT still (see previous post)
zuchinni is def his favorite (EVEN OVER MEAT!) and i would say green beans and peas are pretty up there. he would prob go ham for fruit but i try to limit him on the sugar
looking so chunky and long nowadays!!
loves dancing/music and playing peekaboo. prob loved mickey's dance party more than mya lol
not scared of rides/darkness/sudden loud noises (i.e. pinocchio ride). however this could be slightly attributed to him apparently having TONS of mucus being sucked out of his ears (doc said after surgery, he could prob hear 3 notches better.. crazy!)
overall recovery not too bad. sleep was def like he had an ear infection, waking once every 1-2 hours or so, which i'm used to at this point.. some drainage out of the ear but not too much. never seems too bothered in the day but pulled at his ears at night for sleep a few times.
not scared of dogs (even wants to touch them)!!
lets new people hold him with no issues
starting to mimic us nowadays
loves to clap and claps when we clap
pushes food out of his mouth that he doesn't look or if he's full (or if it's too big or too much..) def finickier than mya lol
doesn't know consequences. will dive in head first to the floor if he's on the edge of something
