Andreas is so fun due to his long smiling sessions. Here are a few that we captured today on his 3 month mark (Jan 28 2010):

Saul's 33rd Birthday
Saul turned the big 33 on January 11 this year. Of course he wanted a tres leches cake, which turned out pretty well. Here are the pics:
Is that a Christmas tree in the background in the middle of January?!? Yes. Yes it is.
I'm pretty sure 3 seconds after the smiles in this picture 75% of the people shown were screaming or crying:

Budapest, Hungary January 2010
I had a business trip to Budapest last week (Jan 16-22) that was the best of times and the worst of times. The food was probably the best I have ever had in Europe (which means I could probably live there), but it snowed the whole time we were there and I was stuck in so many meetings I was never able to get out and about during the day time. Plus it is hard to be away from such a cute baby and cute husband! It was a very nice city though and Saul, Andreas, and Grandpa Z had fun doing projects around the house and doing other boy activities (what happened to all of my ice cream and lunchmeat?!?).
I took a night tour of the city, which is where most of the pictures came from. Unfortunately, my camera (or the photographer) doesn't do very well at night, but here is what I got:
Mosaics at the natural hot springs (they supposedly had about 30 bath/hot springs there):
During the day -- the view from my hotel:

Universal Studios New Year's Day 2010
For New Year's Day we went to Universal Studios, which I would highly recommend since no one even came to the park until the late afternoon. There was no line at several of the rides so it ended up being a good time to go. We also got our pictures with a lot of characters since there were no lines for pictures.
Mom in the background of this picture cracks me up
On the Simpsons ride (it is a virtual roller coaster that took over the Back to the Future ride):
With Conan O'Brien:
Waiting for the Lot Tram tour to start:
The set of The Grinch:
On the set of Psycho. There was a guy reenacting one of the scenes. I turned around since we were on the last tram car to see how long he would stay in character. He kept it up until I couldn't see him anymore. That is dedication.
On the set of War of the Worlds (the Tom Cruise one)
The hat pictures:
The Vin Diesel pictures:
Andreas snuggly in his stroller:
Erika's penguin was really excited to get a picture with her. I thought I was going to have to get the hose...

Disneyland
This year Mom, Dad, the Christensens, and the Andaverdes all headed down to LA for some Disneyland fun. We also went to Universal Studios which I will include in a separate post. We knew we couldn't do our usual one day extravaganza, so instead we took a few days to take it a bit easier (although it still felt jam-packed to me).
Walking to Disneyland on the first day (we were about 4 blocks away):
On Disneyland main street:
New Year's Eve-- Mom and Dad were sick and had to go home to bed around 10pm. I had to go home and take care of the baby, so Brandon, Erika, and Saul had to ring in the new year with twice as much gusto.

Saul the mighty stroller wielder:
Mom, Mickey, Donald, and Andreas
Our pilgrimage to the Small World ride:
Andreas before he knew about the Small World ride:
Andreas after we told him about the Small World ride. This should have been a sign:
We had seen someone lose a shoe on a water ride earlier that day, so I guess it was a little taste of things to come when Erika lost her shoe getting on the Small World boat while carrying Andreas. Wet shoe anyone?
The boys waiting for the shoppers to return:
In front of Soarin'
During the nightly snowfall (which was actually some sort of sudsy material). I couldn't resist posting this picture of Mom:
Notice the perfectly captured balloon:
While waiting to get on the Disneyland Railroad:
This was on Mom's birthday. Since Disneyland opened in 1955 (same year my Mom was born) and she turned 55, we thought this sweatshirt was appropriate. Happy Birthday Mom!
