[hlrababy]

OH MY GOODNESS!!

IluvXU and MeMom are correct!! Its breastfed poopy!!! I looked really close and you can see where her little onesie is wet around it. Poor thing!!!!!!!
That would explain why she has the peeved look on her face!!!!!! Not wanting to be ugly, but come on Jordan!!! Change her...then take a picture!

 

[VandyFan10]

Sweet pictures!!!

I think the one with the poop is funny....I would be PEEVED too

Back to Idol...it has been AWESOME tonight!!!!!

Two more sleeps for you!!!

 

[punkin413]

Breakfast looks yummy! Your pictures are great! We are headed there in June. Can't wait!

it was so good! you guys will love it!

I always miss divine!

I would have made a complaint about the Goofy as well! Glad you sort of got the picture.

I think I should grab scott and show up somewhere where you guys are when in NYC- LOL Just jokin!

yeah, goofy was just not good that day. i would love to see you and scott!

I was about to say, I Hope Goofy came back!!!! Ugh!!!! I remember before we had Hollie, Chad and I would go to character breakfast all the time! I love them! I would have been very upset if I was snubbed by one!

I know your excited about your New York trip!!!

that was the first time ever i got snubbed. but of course i had to say something!

You better NOT be getting sick!!!! You need JP+!!!!!!

I can't believe your trip is this close!!

Love him....and I'm not so sure why...I'm not a

person

In fact I'm probably more like

Ohhh....I would like to meet Flik!!

You could hug tree's

Love the Mickey pic!!!

Gotta love that!

i know! i think it's just sinuses. oh, i learned a new trick for itchy sinus ears. take a q-tip and put it in hydrogen peroxide and then clean your ears out with it. you will hear it fizzing in our ear. when it stops take a clean q-tip and clean it again. it helped my ears!

eeyore's just a cutie - you gotta love him! i love that mickey pic, too.

great update!!
cool pictures of Devine--we loved her last August when we saw her, too

thanks! she was awesome.

Thanks for sharing Tusker House. I would love to have fit that in with Daisy. We enjoyed it in the old location! Awesome seeing Devine! I am beyond sad this is your last day..

me too! devine was so cool. you guys would love tusker house - add it to your list of "someday" things! my list gets longer all the time!

I have tears in my eyes after watching those videos, and I don't even know you, let alone your brother! What a tender sweet moment, thank you for sharing it. Good luck to him at the hearing. And don't forget...status quo stands for a lot down the road. Don't let her make a status quo situation that your brother will not be able to get around later!

I love that she stopped crying when your brother held her.

you're so sweet! i love how my dad's talking to her and she's sort of cooing back at him. so cute!

LOVING the pic of Luke and Donald!!! And way to go Chris, he rocked the house with his Donald Dance. LOLOL (and totally something I would do. hey, at disney we are all just big kids!)

chris was awesome dancing with donald!

 

[M & K + 6]

Okay Dawn.. it is breastfed baby poop!

(I have three kids who had those same type spot of blow outs...)

!

I've seen it too many times myself as well. Surely, the poor baby could be changed before the photo was taken. Gorgeous little baby

 

[punkin413]

Great Update! I loved the parade! That breakfast looks really good - much better than breakfastsaurus was, and you got such cute pics!

thanks! the breakfast was awesome. i'd definitely do it again.

Oooh oooh is this the last day/my first day? So I could possibly spot myself in some of these pictures! Okay I have to start with that pic of Luke and his daddy in his MICKEY PJ's. How cute is that? He's this big buff guy with piercings and Mickey pants. I love it. Luke looks exactly like him. If they have a little girl she'll look just like Anna.

That spider!!! Chimere would freak! I have to get her there at opening next time. LOL

We love Tusker House! The pic of you and Ray with Mickey is so good! You guys must have been one of the last tables. It looks empty. Fooey on Goofy! I always get that treatment from Pooh at Crystal Palace. THREE TIMES! I'm not planning to go back, ever!

yep, this is it!

they bought those PJ bottoms for chris for the trip. they were cute! our ADR was at 10:35 so i'm sure we were one of the last tables. i didn't want an early ADR though - none of us are early risers!

I am just now getting caught up. The videos of Margot are so cute! Jordan is so mean not to let anyone take any pictures. And I feel so bad for Brett that he has only seen his baby three times. Hopefully it will be a lot more soon. She sounds crazy.

On to the report. Chris and Anna look like such fun parents! They are always taking funny pictures and acting goofy with him. It is so cute and you can tell that they adore him.

Devine looks so awsome. I hope that we get to see her while we are there. But if you have been there five times and only seen her once it doesn't look good.

I think I have the same shirt as you. The pink striped one, is it from old navy?

chris and anna are a blast! devine was so cool. be sure to look for her on the path between africa and asia. that's where we saw her. my guess was it was around 10:20 or so. and yes, that shirt is from old navy. my neighbor has one too!

Awesome Animal Kingdom update!!!

I hope you feel better before your New York trip.

I just love the AK Christmas tree -- the colors and ornaments are so pretty.

Hurray for Tusker House! We love it there, but I can't believe Goofy snubbed you! How rude!

Luke always looks like he is thoroughly enjoying himself -- such a cutie!

thanks! i hope so too. right now i'm so STUFFY!!! tusker house was so much fun other than goofy. he was in a mood that day!

It's your last day already? I don't want it to end! Yours is the second great review of TH that I've read this weekend. I may just have to try it -- if only for that juice!

I've never seen Devine - she looks so cool! I would never be able to walk on stilts so gracefully.

Luke & Chris are just adorable. He's a great dad, you can tell. And tell Anna not to worry about that pic - we know she's a great mom too.

me neither! TH is so much fun. i'd highly recommend it! just FYI - you can get the same juice at boma. if it's not exactly the same it's VERY close. devine is so awesome. so talented!

Hi Dawn,
What a great update. Halarious about the cookie/ornamament, wonder if they were even supposed to be edible : ) Loved the AK decorations, thanks for taking all the great pictures of it! I am so glad you got to see DIVINE, isn't she amazing! Great video of her too! I loved the pictures of Anna and Luke when she said the first pic looked like she hated her kid and then you took another one too funny!. Sorry about Goofy at Tusker House, you know, of all the character meals I've always felt the most rushed there, we've always gotten like 2.5 seconds with each character, glad he came back though. Can't wait to read more, great report as always.
Lesley

thanks! they probably weren't supposed to be edible but she tried it anyway! devine was so cool! the other characters were awesome but goofy must have had a date or something - he wasn't nice and was definitely in a hurry!

Look at the way the haughty zebras and the accusing giraffes are looking at Eeyore, like he's done something wrong! No wonder he's sad - poor guy!

Just walking up to that awesome tree gives me such a great feeling, and that's before I even get into the park and do anything. I really, really, really like Animal Kingdom!

Jill and crew did the Tusker House breakfast in October and liked it. I can't remember if she said characters seemed rushed there or not. I'll have to ask her again what their experience was.

The characters are very cute in their safari clothes. The bulletin board outside my classroom has Winnie, Tigger, and Eeyore in safari clothes (the plush dolls) and animal print letters that says Third Grade is an Adventure!, so I get a momentary Animal Kingdom fix every morning when I walk into my room. I will probably use the same board next year, since it turned out so cute, only it'll say Second Grade, and it'll be further down the hall, since I'm getting to change classes.

Thanks for all the great pictures to start off my Monday!

poor eeyore! those mean giraffes and zebras. so cute about the characters outside your room. i wish i could've had you for a teacher in third grade!!! glad i helped start your monday out in a good way.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your TR- I'm loving Luke as well. Love his hair (I know he's had it cut since), and is actually the style my ds is growing his hair into. See how inspirational your TR is. You'll have to mention to Anna that Luke's hair is inspiring to a little boy in Sydney, Australia.

thanks! i will definitely tell anna what you said about luke's hair. i love it - it just suits him! he got it cut but it's still pretty shaggy.

 

[punkin413]

I thought I quoted a picture (oh well) but I had to comment about Chris' Mickey PJ bottoms - love them. I don't think my DH would EVER wear those. Tell Chris he rocks! I hope I get to see DeVine as well. She always looks so beautiful and graceful.

I have to sat I was snubbed my Eeyore. Me and DH were walking in Epcot and we went back to watch the "Beetles" so I was sitting on some steps back there having a ciggy break when all of sudden out comes Eeyore and he walked right by me. I threw my camera to DH and started following him to get into line so I could get my picture with him, well he totally ignored me and kept turning around to see if other kids were there and totally would not look at me, I kept touching him say "hi Eeyore" - nothin'. So I decided I was not going to see characters anymore and that was that. I was hurt, I paid money to get into Disney, why shouldn't I get my picture and autograph with him - because I had no kids, not fair. Then we moved onto France, Belle was out there in the garden area with Beast, DH wouldn't let me stand in line so I took a picture from afar well Belle looked at me and said something like Beast gets mad about something, like I wasn't standing in line so put down the camera - then he started stopping his feet. I was like Well I would say the next day we saw Chip and Dale in MK in Adventure Land I believe and DH talked me into getting my picture with them and I am glad I did because they stood on either side of me and rubbed my back. Yup I decided I would get my picture with the characters but not Eeyore! So there. I boycotted Eeyore for a long time. I did however go to Crystal Palace in 2004 and he was there and was so nice to me I decided I would Eeyore again. So I totally understand what you're coming from. Sorry that was long.


I think it's great that Chris got up and danced around with Luke, again my DH would have not have done that, he's almost a Disney party pooper. It almost looks like Chris was having more fun than the kids

Tusker House looks great. That may have to be on our schedule for places to go. I have never had my picture with Daisy so that will be cool.

chris was proud of those pants! he bought them especially for this trip. glad that you and eeyore have since made amends. you can't stay mad at eeyore! chris was definitely having fun! tusker house was definitely fun. i'd recommend it for sure!

Tusker house looks like it is a great place for breakfast! I love all the pictures of the Christmas tree at AK. We didn't get to visit AK or DHS on our Thanksgiving trip so it is nice to be able to see the decorations.

I am so glad that your brother has gotten to see Margot again...I hope that once he goes to court that he will get to spend more time with her.

it was so fun! and AK at christmas is really pretty. thanks for the good thoughts about margot.

Your pictures in front of the AK tree are great. I am glad you enjoyed Tusker House. We had reservations there but ended up not going for some reason. It sounds like the food was really good. How much of that food did Luke end up eating? That was quite a feast he had.

I hope things go well with your brother's hearing. I know you are ready to start spoiling your beautiful niece.

thanks! he was hungry - i don't think he ate it all but he did a good job. he LOVES bacon so he ate a ton of that! and you know i'm SO ready to spoil her!

that breakfast does look good, i would like to try chef mickeys for breakfast some time, i lover there dinners so i am sure hte breakfast would be just as good.

i've never done chef mickey's for anything. not that it's bad - i just hear it's overrated. i'm sure i'll make it there someday!

Dawn I just did a Tusker House breakfast update on my TR yesterday too and yours way just way better! I have to make sure to check with you to make sure we're not going to update on the same thing on the same day because yours made mine look bad!!

So obviously I thought it was a great update. The pictures of all the interaction at TH came out really good. I loved it there too and we definitely will be back to eat there again. The food was soooo good! I'm going to have to try that mealie pap stuff because I didn't get any this time. Beautiful pictures of the rest of AK too. I really just love this park!!

great minds think alike! and you're silly - yours is awesome! i loved the food there. i want to go back for breakfast tomorrow!!!!

Okay seriously Dawn, this was the most hilarious update ever!

The boys sleeping on the couch was adorable!

Ray's "Woo!" photo!

Anna's "I hate my son" then "I love you" photo!

Luke's 1,000 plates and pirate face photo!

thanks! ray's "woo" photo cracks me up.

Tusker House looks good! I love to think about Disney food.
Glad you were feeling better for your last day!

me too!

Great update! I love Animal Kingdom!

Tusker House is one of our favorite Bfast's!

thanks! it's soooooo good! i'm glad we tried it.

Love all the photos of Luke, he's such a ham and so cute with Daisy

i loved those pictures of him with daisy. they really bonded!

Margot's so cute!!!

i agree!!!

love love the last picture!!
have no clue about the stain????
have a wonderful trip to NYC!!!

thanks!

OH MY GOSH!! I love the last pic of Margot...she is such a doll!!

Okay, your right that does look like pee but it is really high. It almost looks like something was spilled on her?? I just don't have a clue!

i agree!

Okay Dawn.. it is breastfed baby poop!

(I have three kids who had those same type spot of blow outs...)

Have a fantastic trip in NYC!!!!

She has Brett's mouth, for sure. You can see him all in her!

I'm glad you guys got to have those pictures, and we're looking forward to many more after the 28th.

Yep, Bella has messed up some outfits with that same mustard yellow shoo-shoo. Shout works wonders, if you get to it quickly!

OH MY GOODNESS!!

IluvXU and MeMom are correct!! Its breastfed poopy!!! I looked really close and you can see where her little onesie is wet around it. Poor thing!!!!!!!
That would explain why she has the peeved look on her face!!!!!! Not wanting to be ugly, but come on Jordan!!! Change her...then take a picture!

Sweet pictures!!!

I think the one with the poop is funny....I would be PEEVED too

Back to Idol...it has been AWESOME tonight!!!!!

Two more sleeps for you!!!

I've seen it too many times myself as well. Surely, the poor baby could be changed before the photo was taken. Gorgeous little baby

thanks for the insight on the poop!!!! i called audrey and she said that that made sense because brett had said something to her about jordan telling him that margot had pooped on herself at some point. so i think she was taking the picture as funny proof! jordan's not my favorite person in the world but i don't think she'd torture the baby with leaving her in that diaper.

oh, and thanks for the NYC well wishes. i will be doing a mini TR on the community board when i get back and i'll for sure post the link here.

hopefully i'll have more margot pics for you guys in the near future.

 

[LISAMWDW]

Awwh, the photos of Margot are adorable!!!!!!!!!

Have fun in NYC! Can't wait to see photos!

 

[kschafer]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics of Margot (I could have done without the poop picture but to each his own I guess! )

Wishing you a wonderful vacation!! I can't wait to hear all about your adventures

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

Yep that blowout diapers look like a few that I have changed with Brooklynn and now with Bella. I have to say sometimes I do want to take a picture to show John of just how much poop can come out of his little princesses. Probably not one I would e-mail to everyone but if your family you get the good with the bad and that one looked pretty bad on the blowout diaper scale. Have fun on your trip. Can't wait to see pictures!

 

[MagicShell]

I hope you have a great trip. Margot is beautiful.

 

[MRNsMommy]

Tusker House looks so yummy...and like so much fun! Well, except for the whole Goofy incident!
And, yep, that's definitely a baby blow-out that little Miss Margot had! But I can tell you that I've had one breastfed baby and one bottle fed baby and they both had blowouts that looked like that! Yuck!

 

[southernbelle5672]

Okay, I know I'm REALLY late joining this thread .... but better late than never, huh? I just want to ask you where did you find the condo to stay in? You really cannot beat $109/night for that place. Does someone just own the condo or is it part of a resort?

PS - enjoying the trip report!

 

[Eventer98]

It's definitely poop! I agree with the PP...why in the world would you take a picture like that??

Thanks for posting the pics though...poopy pants or not she is super cute!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I don't know how I missed a new update...and it's so funny!

I can see why you are friends with Anna, Chris and Luke. They know how to have a good time. Thier pics are priceless.

I want a pair of Mickey pjs. So cute.

The AK tree is so cool.

I'm glad Goofy came to his senses and came back for a pic...is that not his job after all...

Wow, Tusker House looks like a fantastic meal, maybe I should fit it into my plans. The food always looks so yummy!

Margot is a beautiful little girl! Very sweet pics!

Have an amazing time in NYC!!!

 

[Lamping3]

I have been lurking on your trip report the whole way through and I just wanted to thank you for a great read....I can't wait for you to finish it. My family and I are going this December and I have gotten many tips from your report.

PS I just started my PTR...not much there...yet keep your eye out! I need to find out how to put a link in my signature!

 

[troobabiee7]

Aw, Margot's so cute! :

Have an amazing time in the city!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

I'm so pleased you've finally got some photos of her, she's gorgeous and yep definitely baby poo
