Disney World

Blair, Jena and myself at the 25th Annual Child Life Conference

'It's a Small World' at Magic Kingdom

It's good to be home again!!

For the past 5 days, I have been in sunny Orlando, FL at one of the Disney resorts for an annual conference for work. I went with two other co-workers. We had tons of fun, and the conference sessions, which ran from Thursday until Sunday, where very good. I always feel rejuvenated and refreshed after these conferences, especially when it's at Disney World! On Saturday, at about 4:00, we had a chance to go explore Disney. It was such a blast! I was fortunate enough to go a few times as a child, and I have such amazing memories of those trips. I rode my first roller coaster ride there, Space Mountain, with my Dad. Unfortunately, I was quite traumatized by the experience, and learned the hard way that I did not like roller coasters. On the upside, I did find a ride that perfectly suited my comfort level...'It's a Small World'. And what better way to relive those memories than to experience both of those rides again! One of the girls did not like roller coasters, but thankfully, the other did. The three of us had a grand time, and took lots of pictures. I hope someday I will have the chance to take my own kids there...but never in that hot weather! It was hot hot hot, and very packed with families (I've never seen so many children on leashes).

Bath Time

Amelia's newest talent is soaking the entire bathroom during her bath. She flips her body all over the tub with this intense look on her face. Preston and I were practically in tears laughing at her. She really is a funny little baby.

Family Time

I went to Columbia this past weekend to see Robert, who came home from Mexico City for the weekend, and Little Callie. We spent lots of time with Logan and Meredith, and getting to know Callie. She wasn't too happy in this picture, but she is the sweetest little thing! Her favorite things in life are sleeping, nursing, and looking cute. Amelia shares those very same interests (except the sleeping)! Callie and Amelia will surely be best buds soon.

Mother's Day

Mother's day was pretty good. Amelia was a little fussy that day, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Things are going really good with her. She is eating a little rice cereal at night. I was hoping that it would keep her from waking up too often at night to nurse, but so far, she still gets up about two to three times a night. She sampled a bit of avacado yesterday mixed in her cereal, and some peas today. She is getting the hang of it slowly, but I certainly don't want to push it on her if she isn't ready. She is also rolling over now(front to back mostly). She is truely an amazing little person, and so funny! She laughs so hard, and smiles so big (mostly at the dog and at Preston). I can't wait to see what she is doing this time next year!

puppy love

She absolutely loves sipsey, and whenever she is fussy, sipsey always brings a laugh. We let sipsey sniff her, but no licking allowed. I wish that I had a recording of her laughing at the dog, it's hysterical!

Cute Tushie

We are getting ready for bath time here, and I could not resist snapping a shot of the cutest little tushie this side of the Missippi.
