Today, we woke up to something surprising.  We brought Campbell’s walker toy because we knew we’d need something to help entertain him in the room.  He was sitting down playing with it in front of the mirror in the hotel room, and the next thing we knew, he’d stood himself up on it and started pushing it forward.  Wow.  I have a feeling things will never be the same!  :).  I’m not totally surprised because he’s been trying to stand up every time we try to feed him without a high chair.  But isn’t it funny that he can pull up to a standing position, but he hasn’t figured out how to sit up (from laying down) on his own.  And that he’s standing on his own but still doesn’t crawl.  He’s definitely continuing to show us that he has a different agenda in mind.  :).

Here’s a shot of him after he stood up for the first time.

Next, we went to breakfast downtown at The Mission, which was really great.  Followed by a trip up to La Jolla, where dad stopped off to see about playing Torey Pines.  Dad didn’t get to play today, but we did get a cute picture of him with Campbell – and with a great view.

Next, we went to the Children’s Pool in La Jolla.  You can get up close and personal with baby seals and their moms, who are sunning themselves.  It was super fun, though they were so lazy that I’m not at all sure that Campbell even realized that they were animals!  We also stuck his feet in the water, but it was cold, so he wasn’t so sure about that.

Then, we had lunch in La Jolla at PrepKitchen where we discovered that not only does Campbell love Chilequiles, he thinks it’s hilarious when you say it.  :).

Since he was really tired, we went back to the hotel for a nap and then ventured out to check out Hotel Del Coronado, which was beautiful and very historic.  Then, we ventured into town and tried to have dinner at OB Noodle House, but the line was too long so we went to Nico’s instead. It’s a dive, but Mason had the carne asada fries for dinner (healthy, I know), and they were delicious.  They’re apparently a local delicacy.  C was tired anyway, so it was good to have an early night.
