Fun Trip to Corvallis in Early March

Sean, Brandon, and I went down to Corvallis in March and visited my parents.  I always have a lot of fun going back to the house I grew up in and seeing the town I grew up in.  Corvallis has such happy memories for me and it is even more fun taking Brandon to all the fun parks, stores, and places I enjoyed as a child.  My parents' house is huge and Brandon loves running all around it and going into all of the different rooms.  This time, Brandon also slept on a mattress at my parents' house like a big boy (I finally decided he was way too long and heavy now for his Pack-N-Play as he was like 5 lbs heavier than the maximum weight and was 3 inches taller than the maximum height requirement).  I bought a twin mattress rail and we attached it to the twin mattress and put it on the floor.  I had Sean sleep with him in the bedroom just in case he woke up and started running around my parent's house.  He did great!  Slept through the night and stayed in the bed until I got him in the morning.  I was amazed!  It did take him a little while to go down (we had to lay with him so he would not escape) at night and for naps.

Brandon's favorite park by far is Wild Cat Park in Corvallis.  It is amazing how he can now run all along the park and go up all the big slides.  He has gotten so sure footed and coordinated in the last couple of months.  He loves chasing us and other kids around the playground.  My pregnancy was fairly easy because I was not huge yet.  Sean and I even got to escape while my parents watched Brandon and have breakfast together (which is a luxury!).
