The Birth of Spidey Elizabeth


Look at how unbelievably serious she is in these...


SUCCESS!

(and no it wasn't that hard to get off...)

Storyland 2011

After school got out we took a family trip to Storyland in Glen, NH - Amelia was old and big enough to ride rides and Zoë, our easy companion, just enjoyed being outside and out and about...

Amelia enjoys the carousel. Interestingly, one of the oldest of its kind in the world - there's something special about it... it's from Germany... that's about all I know. It was fun.

Awake...

Asleep...

Amelia/Spidey and Mom go for a ride on the "whale ride."
Spidey is very serious... Zoë is quite silly...

Zoë LOVED riding on the train. She sat like this the entire ride and just yammered on and on to herself - and to anyone else who would listen.
Zoë (a.k.a. thunder thighs) also enjoyed this part of the park where foam balls fly all around and out of walls, etc... She mostly carried around the first two she got her hands on and just squealed at everyone around her.

Spidey Elizabeth

More to come...but we picked up this cute Spidey at Storyland last weekend. She calls herself Spidey Elizabeth.

11 months!

It is literally impossible to get her to sit still in this pillow...my arm is in this picture to TRY and keep her still for 1 second so I can take the picture!

Hard to believe it, but in a few short weeks our baby will be 1 - no longer a baby but a toddler! Technically she is already a toddler because she is walking around like crazy...but I'm going to go ahead and call her a baby while I still can!

Amelia visits Storm

About 2 years ago, Grammie fulfilled a lifelong dream and bought herself a horse named Storm. Being a good daughter, I scampered right over and met him.

Oh wait. That second part's not true. We met Storm for the first time last weekend and Amelia had a lot of fun brushing him and petting his nose. Zoë was not so sure and wouldn't let me even back up a little bit to get a picture...

Other than a 45 minute nap, this was Amelia during her 3 hour car ride home from Lake George... she kept both me and Zoë entertained!

Wordless Wednesday

and post 700 - WOW!
