Disneyland: We Were There Too!

It really was a great couple of days. We all had fun. Unfortunately, and despite the best of our planning efforts, we hardly met up with Ronan and his fam at all! We got to Disneyland later on Thursday than we'd hoped (due to my finishing a brief) -- after dropping off Dex, the drive and checking in, we strolled into the park around 11:30. That was right about when Ronan decided he was tired and needed a nap at his hotel. We did meet up with them after dinner that night though, and all went on the Disneyland Railroad together, which was fun. On Friday, we started out on different schedules again, this time with us arriving at the park first. By the time Ronan and fam arrived, we were heading to California Adventure for Sloane's lunch with the princesses. Coincidentally, as Dan waited outside the Adventureland bathroom for Sloane and I (there was a good amount of waiting time out there on Friday morning as I had to change Sloane's clothes 4 times due to potty training mishaps that morning -- overall, she did great at Disneyland though!), Dan ran into the Glennons, and we strolled around New Orleans Square and went on Pirates of the Carribean together. And, I also ran into a woman from work who I had jokingly told that I would "keep an eye out" for her -- it really is a Small World!

Tiny Princess

I think it's pretty safe to say her mind was blown. She loved every minute of Disneyland, except when we made her get in her stroller so we could leave. She was a great little lady and had a fantastic time meeting all of her favorite celebs. She got tons of autographs. She keeps saying her favorite part was meeting Minnie and Mickey. So cute!

Dexter's 8 month check up

Dexter is doing great! He is 18 lbs., 28 1/2 inches and has an 18 3/4 inch head circumference. Those meausrements put him in the 25th, 75th and 100th percentiles, respectively. He didn't gain any weight since last month, but hopefully that is just due to a couple of bouts of flu and his reluctance to start solids. Hopefully he will gain a bit by his ten month birthday. But, mommy is not at all worried -- attitude is happy and healthy, if you can't tell from these pics! His big sister is doing great too! (And, the big girl is now wearing PANTIES!!! and, will soon be starting pre-school!!!) :)

Happy Birthday Sophia T!

Malibu, Part Deux

The fam had a really fun time with Great Aunt Susie and the Wallaces. We'll definitely have to do it again soon! (and, hopefully next time a bathing suit will dissuade my little exhibitionist from taking all of her clothes off . . . again . . . this time within five minutes! ha ha ha . . .)

Welcome to the World, Cousin Max!

The third Mendelsohn-son has risen! Happy Birthday, Max! He joins cousins Dex and Asher, all three boys born within a year of each other, and big-sister-cousins Claudia, Gabby and Sloane. What an ADORABLE gang!

Tannis's Shower

Melly, Deb and I threw Tannis a baby shower shower at Cecconi's in WeHo. We reserved the "Butterfly Room," which inspired the butterfly theme. It was really a fun afternoon. It's wonderful to see how excited everyone is for the impending arrival! As Sloane would say, "One of these days, Tannis's baby is going to be a beautiful butterfly!"
