longwood with the moms

First, can you head over to this link and vote on our picture? We are trying to win a trip to Disney. Which would be really awesome!

Anyway! We have been having a fun week. Dave will be back soon and my parents will be heading home. It's has been so fun to see Elinor with them. You would think she sees them everyday. I don't know it's because we facetime with them or she just remembers them from last visit. 

I took my mom and Elinor to Longwood Gardens. We met Dave's mom there. Last time we were all together, Elinor was 2 days old! 

Those two were BFFS. They were so funny together. We had a great day and Elinor was so happy having her Mum and Mamoo there. Mum took a few pics of us too which I'm so glad she did. 

Elinor was mad she was in the stroller but I was trying to get her to eat lunch while we walked. 

I love this picture of her! Mum bought her an Elsa headband at a craft fair. She is obsessed! 

We don't go to Longwood enough. It's so beautiful and Elinor can just run. I knew my mom would love it too. She will have to plan another visit since we didn't even get to see everything this time. 

spring

I can't catch a break! I had a cold last week and this week I had the flu. No fair! Luckily my parents are in town and could help with Elinor since Dave is traveling again. I feel really bad that they have been stuck inside for days and taking care of me and Elinor. But also I don't know what I would have done if they weren't here.

I'm feeling better today and hoping to get outside in the sun for just a little bit. Maybe even do a light flow of yoga. It's been days and my body is aching and needs to stretch. Elinor has been back to being wild again. We can usually calm her down but lately she is just everywhere. We happened to check her height the other day and think that might have something to do with how she has been.

Her poor little body was growing so fast and she was probably in pain! Her eating has slowed down now so maybe she will get a break.

I hope everyone is healthy and enjoying their first day of spring!

If you are on facebook please go vote on this picture of Elinor so we can win a trip to Disney! Thanks!

Disney

Ok, I promise this is my last Disney post. We had a ton of iphone pics that I wanted to share with my family and anyone else who is interested...

Elinor loved spending time with her mamoo and papa. The day we checked out they left before we were up. As soon as Elinor woke up, she ran out of our room yelling "Mamoo..Papa!!!". When they weren't there she pouted.

 The resort we stayed is so nice. There are multiple pools and lazy rivers. We took Elinor to the kids play area with a little pool and spray features. She made friends with some little girls and they let her use their floats and toys.

 Downtown Disney is so much fun! There is a lot to see and do without spending money. The lego store has awesome lego buzz and woody, snow white, hulk and a ton more to take your picture with. There are also little lego tables set up for kids to build. Even little tables with the bigger legos for Elinor's size.

 We wouldn't have spent much money there if it wasn't for BabyCakes. A vegan bakery right inside a chicken restaurant?? It doesn't matter because everything we got from there was delicious! Especially the chocolate chip cookies and brownie cupcake.

At Animal Kingdom

 Elinor pointing to the sticker Dave put on the back of his phone so she would look when we took pictures. And this big girl passed out after a fun busy week!

day one

First let me tell you how much I dislike the blogger app....I've written this post multiple times on my phone and each time it disappeared . GRRRRR..ANYWAY...

Elinor's first flight was to Florida when she was just a few months old

We made it to Florida! Elinor was such a great little traveler for our flights. She has flown quite a few times in her life but this is the first time she actually understood what was going to happen. "Ellie fly in plane? up in sky?" with little arm flaps each time.

When we made it to the hotel, we were greeted by "mamoo and papa" (my parents). We don't see them often but with Facetime and phone calls, Elinor acted like she saw them yesterday. She is just so excited to have more people around to cheer on everything she does :)

Papa bought her a Minnie. She gasped when he gave it to her and held it tight, rocking back and forth with her eyes closed. She is too funny.

We don't have set plans for our week. Right now we are sitting in bed with Elinor sleeping in between us and trying to decide what to do tomorrow. We are poor planners. Our one plan is to go to Magic Kingdom on Halloween. We are excited for warmer weather and fun!
