Random Disney photos

Hi, everyone,

Well, it's been nearly a month since we went to Disney World and the Space Coast for vacation. Frank and I have so many photos to sort through and the thought of creating a detailed, chronological photo account is completely daunting to me. So I decided to just randomly select a few photos and post them. I will try to get around to posting more photos from our trip at a later date. Keep your eyes on Madeleine's website, too (http://madeleinesmiles.blogspot.com), as I will try to create a post featuring vacation photos of her.

But for now, here are a few pics:

This photo was the last photo I took at Disney World. It was actually taken at our hotel, after a very hot morning walking around Magic Kingdom. I am sure that this photo will be blackmail material for Emma in about 15-20 years:

Another photo of two tired girls. I should note that, while I am taking these photos, Frank's outside, trying to jump-start the dead car battery.

Our dinner at Crystal Palace with the characters from Winnie the Pooh. Everyone's favorite, Eeyore!:
Classic photo: Emma checking out Pooh's nose. She has a little stuffed Pooh toy that she adores, so she was pretty amazed to see a BIG, live version of her toy!:

The girls and Pooh. Madeleine's introducing Emma to Pooh:

We had a very, very late lunch at Cinderella's Castle. Here's Madeleine decorating her dessert cupcake:
Emma checking out the fish as we wait to see the "Talk with Crush" show at Epcot:

A snowman in late May?!? This was at Hollywood Studios:

Emma at the Indian restaurant at our hotel, Animal Kingdom Lodge:

Emma looking at fish at Epcot again. Love that little round head.:
Madeleine waiting for the Big Thunder Mountain roller coaster ride! She was so brave and LOVED riding the roller coaster:

Watch this space for more pics!!

An Emma photo session (a.k.a "Humor her Mother")

Sometimes when you are taking photos of your baby, you get to a point where every one of the photos is cute in its own way and you can't decide which ones to post on a blog--hence, you post them all (or most). Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Playtime in the family room

Sweet potatoes and peas

For some reason, the blog site jumbled these all together, but I'm sure our blog followers can figure out what Emma's eating based on the puree color. She loved both the peas and sweet potatoes. She also liked yellow squash and fennel. Surprisingly, though, she HATED banana, and spit it out! I guess we've got a veggie baby (for now).

Rice cereal!

Yummers!

Emma at playtime

Emma has been enjoying many of Madeleine's old toys/activity centers. Above, you see her in the jumpy seat. She is our little Tigger--she loves to bounce!

One night, Frank played some internet clips from a TV channel we had in Geneva called "Baby TV." Emma found it somewhat interesting, but for Madeleine, it was a complete flashback--she was transfixed:


Madeleine giving Emma a hug in the jumpy seat:


Emma in the Bumbo seat, with Madeleine's old lion. Both girls LOVE this toy:


And with another little yellow lion, because as we all know, you can never have too many yellow lion toys:



On the activity mat. Yes, that is a Caterpillar bib:

And in her new favorite, the ExerSaucer!


More photos to come!
