Disneyland!

We wanted to go on a fun vacation this year but we didn't feel like going very far so we decided to go and stay at Disneyland. It was so much fun! We stayed at the Grand California Hotel for two days and it has its own entrance into California Adventure AND Disneyland. It was awesome! We would go and run around for a couple of hours, then go back to the hotel room and take naps, and then right back out to play some more. Emma was so much fun to take on this trip. She loved the rides and especially loved all of the characters. She would see Mickey Mouse, call out his name, and then run to him to give him a hug and a kiss. It was adorable. Maddie was also the perfect baby just babbling and looking at everything. She never cried and just stayed happy wherever we went. Our favorite ride was the new Toy Story ride and Emma's favorite ride was Monsters Inc. We went on it like 7 times! We got her a stuffed animal with Sully and Mike that she carries everywhere! She calls it "Monster Mike". She even sleeps with it now. We definitely loved it and think that everyone should stay at the hotel there at least once.

Fun at Pop 'n Play Gymnastics

A lot of people have told us about this gymnastics place and we have been taking Emma now for a couple of weeks and it is so fun! You just pay $4 and your little toddler can run around for an hour and play on all of the equipment. At first, Emma was a little scared to do a lot of the stuff but now she loves it! I teach a class on the days that she goes so its a little Daddy/Daughter date and they enjoy the time together!

Maddie's Eating Extravaganza!

So back when Maddie was like four months old, I tried to start feeding her solids. It did not work out! She has the longest, craziest tongue and she could not figure out how to keep the food in her mouth. So I waited until she was six months old and tried again and it has turned out much better.....although she is still figuring out how to control that tongue. My favorite is when I start to get the food ready, or when I hold out a cracker for her to eat. She gets so excited and starts kicking her legs and reaching out her hands while making the most hilarious panting sound. It kills me everytime! The pictures don't do it justice.....luckily I have it on video.
