Here's Aiden, Ella, and Jaydon enjoying the cool grass at the Salzburg castle. After doing some research on Austria we realized that we couldn't make a trip there without also seeing Salzburg. Salzburg is a beautiful town in the mountains that was an easy train ride away from Vienna.
So we spent 3 nights in Salzburg and 4 in Vienna. I think if we could've had the great accommodations of the Hilton Vienna (where we stayed in Vienna) in Salzburg it would've been perfect for the whole week. As you can imagine traveling with 3 babies caused quite a commotion where ever we went. We constantly had tourists (usually from Asia) taking video and pictures of our babies. Jaydon didn't mind - he loves to flirt with new people and have a good 'ole time.
This is the castle in Salzburg viewed from the river below. 
We hiked part way up to the castle and took a vernacular the rest of the way. 
Jaydon is posing on one of the canons they had set up on display. 
We all loved the parks, Jadyon got soo excited every time we set him down on grass. He's flapping his arms so fast that the camera can't even catch them.
With Oktoberfest going on in Germany the crowds were much smaller than what we had expected and in the spirit of it Steve made sure to test all the local brews. He especially liked it when he could get a mug of beer as big as Jaydon.
Jaydon took to travelling very well and learned how to eat and sleep in all kinds of weird places. We also had fun buying baby food based on the picture on the label. Spinach was pretty easy to figure out and Jaydon loved it.
This is from the butterfly house in Vienna.
We had a big bay window in our room in Vienna. Got an awesome deal at the Hilton thanks to Steve's Gold membership there. Jaydon loved to hang out in the window and watch all the goings on down below.
Just in case you were wondering exactly how much luggage 3 babies (and their parents) need to go on a week vacation. Keep in mind this doesn't include the 3 strollers, diaper bags and day packs we had with us for the train ride from Salzburg to Vienna.
Enjoying another beautiful day at a beer garden in Salzburg. Jaydon had his first taste of soft pretzels here (and promptly threw it up) and also had fun feeding the pretzel to me.
Few - all that vacationing is tough work. This is how he'd usually take a few of his naps during the day, on the go in the Bjorn. He got pretty good at it but the naps were never very long or refreshing.
Jaydon also decided that it's much better to see the sights perched up on dad. There's also the added benefit of having all that hair to pull.
Here's a shot of the city of Salzburg from the castle. (I know these pics are all out of order but blogger and I haven't been seeing eye to eye lately and I finally gave up in the interest of time wasted arranging pictures...)
These butterfly's were enjoying someones flower garden outside their cute little Austrian cottage.
Did I mention the pretzels. Our friend Brandon couldn't resist buying the one bigger than his baby.
Hmmm - looks like someone is looking for trouble.
Don't worry Jayodn didn't drink the beer (at least that's what dad claims) he just liked chewing on the edge of the cold glass. 2 top teeth where trying to make an appearance, his gums were swollen the whole trip.
These last few are from our day trip to Germany to see the Eagle's Nest which was one of Hitler's mountain retreats. The views were great and all the kids did a great job traveling from train to bus to bus to train. The theme of the vacation was 2 out of 3. At any one time 2 out of the 3 babies were doing something the other wasn't whether it came to sleeping, eating, crying, or pooping. There are more good pics our fiends have taken so when I get a copy of them I'll post those too.
He loves her bouncy seat and jumped in it so much that he realized how to use his Johnny Jump Up (the jumper you hang from the door frame). 
He's also a big fan of her cool walker car. 
He scooted around in it and had a great time playing with all the buttons and lights on it. 
Don't forget to check your blind spot before merging... 
We also had to take a day trip to Dubai for 
The tiny nurse who gave him the shots made him look so big in her arms we all thought it was pretty funny. He's over 19 lbs now.
We thought it so funny we couldn't help but document it even if he wasn't in the mood for pictures.
1st step was getting the nice (and clean) high chair set up. Jaydon liked hanging out in it especially sine it made him eye level to the fish tank. 
Jaydon's 1st food was oatmeal, no reason why - just happened to be what we had. 
He took to the food very well and even made a few surprised faces that made us think he was really enjoying it. 
Not that we had any doubt in our mind but Jaydon has turned out to be a great little eater. 
And funny enough he is now drinking even more milk than before we gave him food. He better be heading for a growth spurt soon or our baby is going to more round than he is tall. 
Jaydon also decided that spoons are pretty fun toys. He just needs to learn to not gag himself with them. Once Dad heard that Jaydon was eating grown-up food he decided to introduce him to one of his favorites...
Jaydon liked the cold can on his gums but we decided he better stick with the baby version of grown up food.
One of the big things to do in Doha on Friday when everything else is closed is to go to one of the western hotels and have a 5 star brunch. 
A bunch of people in our compound were celebrating birthdays, 
With all that eating we needed a little activity so headed out to the pool for a quick dip.
