Disney Part 2: Magic Kingdom

We spent two days at the Magic Kingdom(tuesday and friday). So we were able to do everything we wanted to do. Mila loved the "flying elephant" ride, the Teacups, the Pooh ride and the Peter Pan ride. She also got into tinkerbell for some reason...mainly because she can fly I think...but she picked out the tinkerbell hat and doll and those were the only things she got from any of the parks, and she was okay with that. So I'll explain the crying princess picture. She loves her princess shirt and never wants to take off her princess pajamas so I thought "okay, I'll take her to see the princesses." She was great in the line saying "pincess" over and over, but once we got into the room where they were standing she starts clinging to me. I pointed Belle out and reminded her that we saw her movie(that's the only one she's sort of watched)...but that didn't work because then she kept saying "movie movie" because she wanted to see their movies, but she didn't want to see them in real life. So since I waited in line we took the pictures anyway...I tried to put her in the middle, but she was not having it...as you can see. So the other pictures I am in the middle like a big dork and Mila's hand is in her mouth(because she was nervous) and she doesn't look very happy. Oh well...it makes for a funny story I guess. Of course as soon as we leave she is saying "pincess" over and over again. I don't think she liked that they were real people. She just likes the idea of them. Overall, Magic Kingdom was a lot of fun. She loved Mickey and Minnie's house and the play area outside and the train. She loves trains so it was fun for her to ride on one. The last picture in the group is her climbing up on some railing. Mila has never been a climber...she is over two and won't climb out of her crib or her pack and play, but she chose Disney World to start climbing on ledges and hanging on ropes and rails. Anything she saw other kids doing she had to try. Silly girl.

Disney Part 1: Epcot

5-26: Our first day in Florida we went to Epcot with my mom. Mila had so much fun. She loved the fan/water bottle thing we brought. It definitely kept her occupied in the stroller as we walked around. We went on the Finding Nemo ride and she loved it. She loves Finding Nemo and she had fun playing in the shark area and looking at the stingrays. We met Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy and the Chipmunks. She was pretty nervous and clung to me, but she still got pretty excited...as long as I didn't try to put her down. She LOVED the chipmunks. They are like giant stuffed animals to her. We also met Snow White and Dopey; she still didn't let me put her down. We went on this dinosaur/energy show/ride thing and I thought it would be a little scary,but she still talks about seeing dinosaurs and how one of them sprayed water. She loves dinosaurs and wasn't scared at all.

Happy 2nd Birthday Mila!

We celebrated Mila's 2nd birthday on May 10th with my family and a few friends.

She almost did it by herself...I helped a little bit.

Mila loved opening her presents. It was fun to watch her get the hang of it.
She had to put on her new shoes immediately.
A new shirt...she got so many cute new clothes!
She loved her new tricycle...she wanted "the pink bike" so I had to get it for her.

Brody gave her a hug!
She's a little more interested in the tricycle.

At the Park

My mom and I took Mila to the park. It is her favorite thing. I can't wait for the weather to stay consistently nice so we can spend more time outside.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I found a caterpillar outside and was letting it crawl on me and Mila. She loved it, until she dropped it into the grass and we lost it. She kept asking for it and I had to tell her it was hungry so it left to go eat food. For the next couple days she kept pointing to the backyard and talking about how the caterpillar was eating food and hiding.

Aquarium

While we were in Utah my friend Clarissa organized a trip to the aquarium with all our friends. It was so fun to see everyone. All the kids are getting so big. Mila had a blast looking at all the fish.

Mila and Bailey were holding hands. It was so cute!
She even let go of my hand!

Maggie, Mila and Bailey checking out the sharks.

Mila and Autumn

Mila and I spent a week in Utah. We spent two days with our friends Clarissa, John and Autumn. Mila absolutely loved Autumn(as long as I didn't try to hold her), and I think Autumn found Mila pretty entertaining too. We had so much fun!

Mila had to copy everything Autumn did so they are both chewing on spoons.

Big Mila smile!
