Mickey Mouse!!

We just got back from Disney World and had so much fun! Nothing could be better than seeing the excitement in Claire's eyes each time she saw one of the Disney characters. She LOVED it! She didn't really know too many characters besides Mickey and Minnie before we got there but boy did she catch on fast! Donald and Goofy became fast favorites. Can't wait to go back!

First morning character breakfast hosted by Donald! This was her first meeting with any of the characters and she was hooked!!

Mickey waffles....yummy!

Pointing at Mickey and patiently waiting for him to get to our table.

We're next....so excited!

And Mickey is here

18 months!

1 and 1/2 years old!! Can't believe it!

She is one happy little girl! She loves to play in her kitchen, read books, ride in her wagon and play with her dolls. She is so sweet with her dolls - brushing their hair, feeding them, kissing them.

It's so fun spending time with her and seeing her personality develop. She's very sweet, inquisitive, and funny. She loves to make you smile and laugh with her funny faces and smiles!

She has 11 teeth now! Top and bottom molars are in. Favorite foods now - milk, fish, watermelon, chicken nuggets, meatballs, still rice and corn dogs!

She's now stringing more and more words together. The other day I asked her to pick out a toy for us to play with and she said, "Hmm, how about this one." It cracked me up. That's what David and I say all the time when picking out toys with her.

Hi there!

Trying out the water wings

Look at all of those teeth!

Milk!

The activity table works perfectly as a chair.
