Really?

So something that tends to hit a nerve with me is when certain people tell me things when they should really keep their mouths shut. 

The other day a family member looked at me and asked how old is Sydney? First off they should know but they were just being smart with me...and then proceeded to ask why she does not talk and how their little one (who is 2 months old) will talk before Sydney.  Then asked if we talk or even read to Sydney. At this point I was beyond upset and just wanted to punch someone. Granted Sydney is not the best talker in the world but she is doing so much better. I believe that some of her problem could have been from us teaching her baby sign and allowing her to have her pacifier longer than we intended for her to have it but I have been assured by the doctor that she is just fine and will start talking and we will want her to be quiet.

I just can not believe that I have some family members that think we are a household that does not talk, especially to our daughter. Anyways enough of my rants and raves but I had to get that off my chest :)

Nothing really new here in the Marinello household. I have about 13 weeks left and it can not come soon enough. I can not wait to meet this little guy and we love him so much and just can not wait to hold him! I really am craving a subway sub sooooo bad and that is all that I want to eat but I have done so good this time around not eating deli meat, so as soon as our little guys is born that is the one things I am sending Mike out for!

Name Change!

First off let me just say that Mike and I both love the name Ezekiel and really never thought that we would change it but today Mike came home from work and had a different name in his head and actually liked it better than Ezekiel. We are definitely not changing it because there have been so many negative comments about his name we are just changing it because we like this a little bit better. We however, are not telling anyone the name because I don't need people telling me that they don't like his name and majority of the problem lies within our family so people are just going to have to wait until this little peanut is born :) Feel free to make your own guesses and if you guess right then I won't lie about it but I for sure won't be telling the name!

Disneyland!

Well Monday of last week Mike really wanted to go to Disneyland and someone from his work had two extra tickets so that Mike and I could get in free. We found out that kids can get into Disneyland for free if they are 3 and under so we decided to go. We had some money left on a Marriott card so all we had to end up paying for is food.

We left Wednesday morning after the traffic died down and drove about 3 1/2 hours and got some lunch. Then went the rest of the way without stopping. Sydney did a great job and actually did not cry at all. She fell asleep on the way there which was nice but otherwise she watched movies and read books. When we got there we could not check in yet because it was not 4 so we went to Downtown Disney and got Sydney a toy because she did so well and when we could not get in the hotel she freaked cause she had to go back in the car so I felt really bad for her :) After walking around and having some dinner we went back to the hotel and got her ready for bed. I set up the pack-n-play and put it in the kitchen so that she would not see our bed, well once I got her in there she freaked out and actually climbed out of it which she has never done before. So we pulled out the sofa bed and I laid with her till she fell asleep. And actually it was a lot better than I thought it would be. 

Thursday morning we went and got our free breakfast from the hotel and headed out to Disneyland. The park did not open till 10 so we had a little waiting to do but here are some pictures of our fun little adventure :) 

Waiting to get into the Happiest Place on Earth

Sydney's favorite ride "Buzz Lightyear" she loved that there was a life size Buzz that would talk.

Sydney and I walking in Sleeping Beauty's Castle

On one of her favorite rides.

Riding all by herself, well we are on there of course but she was on the horse by herself :)

The whole gang on the Dumbo ride. She liked picking out which color she would ride in.

Her first ever piece of cotton candy, and she loved it!

And this picture is for Lisa...she asked me to say Hi to Mary but instead I got a picture for you!

We had a great time and a long drive home on Friday but Sydney did wonderful again and she actually stayed awake the whole ride home and fell asleep right before we pulled into the driveway :)
