Mickey Land...

As many of you already know Sophie is a huge, HUGE Mickey Mouse fan. We decided to take her to Disney World in Orlando yesterday while Mike was there for work. After what seemed to be an entire morning getting onto Magic Kingdom, we started our hunt for MICKEY!!





Okay...so Magic Kingdom consists of Disney characters scattered about for you to wait [in a mile long line] to get your picture with. When you not waiting in these lines you can enjoy a $5.00 hotdog or peruse through endless shops filled with heaps of Mickey gear. Sounds fantastic, eh? Anywho - Sophie picked a Mickey cup that she didn't put down all day.

[Note: The tiny-est of snow globes will not make it past TSA thus really infuriating your husband.]


This is "OMG...Tigger and Pooh!"...


Standing in line to see Tigger and Pooh...


"Nope, just kidding...I don't really wanna see Tigger and Pooh"...

I must say the short skits put on by all the characters was really quite entertaining. And the street dancing was pretty fun as well. Sophie followed Mickey's dancing here and now knows the "stirring wheel" move.



Completely tuckered and having gotten a weeks worth workout, we are back home. Our Disney experience has filled us with great memories and Sophie couldn't have had a better time.



Hope everyone had a great weekend!! Lots of love to everyone reading!!

Fourteen Months...

Fastly approaching the terrible two stage, for sure. Sophie's got quite the "major-tude" but if you ask my parents they'd say..."Paybacks are a true blessing!!". She's definitely my child there's no denying that fact. But on another note, she's the most perfect child in the world. Mike and I really think we have the coolest kid. She rocks out to whatever tune is playing and her Daddy has even taught her how to play air-guitar!!! I mean, COME ON, that is freaking cool!!! [LOL!]





She loves "cool shoes" and "pretty" accessories. Bows, bracelets...necklaces. She loves to share anything and everything with you. Bath time doesn't come often enough and splashing is very entertaining...as well as eating bubbles. She has 12 TEETH!! She likes to open and close any cabinet or drawer that allows, take out all the contents only to put everything back in and do it all over again. Polka-dots are her FAVORITE! Mickey Mouse Clubhouse can fix any tantrum and playing in the dirt is super fun! She loves to give kisses and believe me we LOVE getting kisses!





She's so smart and is learning something new everyday. Not walking on her own yet but [with assistance] she'll walk around all day! She's very shy and loves to be held. And what a personality!! Always laughing, smiling and playing around. A curious little girl too...pointing and trying to see what you have. So there you have it...14 months and counting. Life's big gifts in a little package!

Have a great week!! Love, love, love.

Happy Easter!!...

Hippity-Hoppity...Happy Easter Day!!





Sophie loved her Easter day today. So much so that she had to bring her Easter basket wherever we went. The egg hunt in our front yard was a total success!! Check her out picking up the eggs and putting them in her basket...almost as if she'd done this very routine for many years!! We're such proud parents!! What a cool chick!









Hope everyone had a fabulous day! Happy Easter!!
