Tori is 5 Months


Tori is such a happy delightful baby! We have truly been blessed and I wish she could stay my sweet "baby-doll!" But we are seeing the early bits of her personality and it is so much fun! She loves her "Molly Dolly" and Sophie and any other stuffed animals and will reach out for them! She can roll over to her back and to her belly but won't do it on request. She likes to suck on her left toes and her left thumb occasionally. She is still drooling like crazy but does not have any teeth yet. She is starting to sit but not without frequently toppling over. She loves to be around her brothers and watch them play or 'talk' to them. We haven't started giving her 'food' yet but she likes to sit in the highchair during mealtimes to socialize with us. 

It has been a crazy last few months and I predict it is only going to get crazier once Little Missy starts moving! Ahhh- I can't even think about that yet, but I know it won't be long!

Disneyland


 We went to Disneyland with all 3 kids... and survived! Funny, but I wanted to go for MY birthday! I wanted to see the looks on their precious faces when they met the characters... before their old enough to understand they are all just costumes and that it's not magic. And even though my 4 year old 'knew' they were all in costume he was still amazed and in awe!


This is our first night. We headed to Downtown Disney to eat and shop after our 6 hour car ride to Anahiem. I wish their had been a good place for the boys to stretch their legs after the car ride, but I understand their lack of a park (slides, swings, etc.) - it would be too crazy. So after the long car ride and sitting at dinner we attempted to walk around but it was so crowded. We went back to the near-Disney hotel and slept pretty well. 

 This is our family meeting Minnie Mouse and our sweet girl LOVING Minnie!
  

And our awesome boys loving their chocolate ice cream cones! And yes that is the creation made per Drew's request  ... "can you add a cherry" and "the fluffy white, pfffffttt stuff from a can" (aka whip cream), "oh and sprinkles!" He knows just what he wants and is not scared to ask for it! Glad that everyone at Disney was so happy to make their day!   


Goodbye Disneyland! So glad we went and SO glad when it was over because we were thoroughly exhausted! Yes I did put names on our shirts- they were just iron on but I wanted to make the occasion special and I also thought it might help if a boy got lost. :)
