All Aboard!

On Saturday, we went to Calera to ride on Thomas the Train.

The usual cast of characters joined us (Jay, Jack, and Luke), and we were so excited to share baby Alex's first train ride. It was a gorgeous, super-fun day!

Shiver me timbers! I can't believe he's 3!

Elliott visited Dr. Habeeb for his 3-year-old check-up this week. He continues to impress.

Height: 40" (90%)

Weight: 36 lbs., 2 oz. (75%-90%)

Getting Better All the Time

Elliott has really been getting better on his balance bike, or as he calls it "mine motorcycle." Check him out.

He really shows off his balancing and braking skills here.

All our many WDW photos

We have too many pictures to choose from, so click here if you would like to see all of our photos from Disney World last week.

The folks you meet at DW

We had several character meals this trip so that Elliott could hang out with the Disney gang without standing in any lines. So worth it. He told them all that he was 3 years old (!!!), compared foot sizes with Pooh, and asked them all to sign his autograph book before sending them on their way with big hugs. He even managed to eat some Mickey-shaped food between visits from his friends!

Big Thunder Mountain!

Elliott's first roller coaster was Big Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom. He likes to call it "the fast choo choo train." (We apologize in advance for some shaky camera work.) In spite of the fact that he seems pretty unsure during most of the ride, he loved it and refused to get off because he wanted to go again!

This video is the perfect metaphor for our trip to WDW: quirky, jerky, and full of fun! (Do I even need to tell you that many more photos will be coming soon?)

The Newest Little Photographer

Elliott got a Fisher-Price digital camera for his birthday. We actually bought it on a really big Amazon Christmas sale, and have just been holding it until his birthday. Anyway, we went with Luke and his mommy to see Rango tonight, and Elliott wanted to try out his new camera on the way. Not too bad for the first outing. He also took some more pictures once we got home. Check them out.

Of course he wanted Mommy to take his picture too.

Happy 3rd Birthday, Elliott!
