Funny girl!

Aaron took Sofia to the park and she just loved the swings! Sofia was upset because she was locked out of the kitchen; lulu didn't seem to mind. Her aunty Andrea got her this bear, and she loves it, she hugged it and kissed him. The poor lion (her favorate) needs a break. ;) She's making more progress toward walking, she loves to push her little bus and her pony around the house. Other random things Sofia is doing; she loves to take the cereal out and feed lulu, she also enjoys dipping her hand in her water bowl, then patting her head; she loves to take out all the tissue out of the box; she gives lulu her toys, then lulu happily chews on it until i catch her, she throws her toys over the fence into the kitchen, i think she aims for the water bowl. She still loves the water! bath time is a fun time for her. She wants to feed herself and does not want me to touch the spoon. tons of new things going on, everyday it's a joy to watch her do silly things and she learns, very quickly!

Birthday Party!

Today was Sofia's birthday party; it turned out very nice. She did wonderful, played alot, was very excited to see new toys and have lots of attention. I had friends come over early and help me decorate the cakes and the house. (thanks Amy and Robyn). We had such a good time. Thank you everyone that was able to make it.

Birthday girl again!

Today we went to the park to try for the famous 1 year old pics. Mom helped me and we got some cute ones. She was given another really cute dress for her birthday; so we might try to take more pics this weekend. we'll keep you updated. She would stand for a long time by herself before she realized it and sat back down. It was fun, i really enjoyed taking pictures of her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sofia!

Today is Sofia's birthday. This year has gone by quickly, I can't believe 1 year ago she was less than 8 lbs. We went to the drs on monday and she weighs 19.15 oz. almost 20 lbs! I thought she weighed more than that. She's 30 1/2 in. long! she's grown 10 in. this year! amazing all the changes that occur in the first year. We'll be having her little birthday party on Sunday. ;-) it will be fun.

Weekend

So this weekend Jose and Kim came to visit. We don't see each other very often so it's nice when they can come even if it's only for the weekend. We mostly ate, after that we ate some more. ;-) Kim brought this incredibly sinful chocalate chip cookies, they're soooo good, addicting, i don't know what she puts in them, but yumm! they're soft and chewy.. ok enough about the cookies! (thanks Kim)
Jose and I tried to take pics of Sofia for her 1 year, but she's not feeling 100%, so, she wasn't cooperating as much as we would like. Actually, she just wanted to be in the water with the ducks, so she got very upset because we didn't let her. yeah, we're do mean. she has a hard life. ;-)

Sofia

Our big girl! eating a banana all by herself! next week she'll be a year old! she's standing more and more by herself and takes 1 to 2 steps then falls; she'll be walking soon enough. ;-)
Aaron painted our kitchen yesterday and it looks really nice; i'm gonna print some pics for the wall (thanks X) and then i'll take the pic and let you guys see it.
We're excited Jose and Kim are coming for the weekend! Hope everyone has a good friday and a good weekend.

New Living Room!

We finally painted our living room; after almost 4 years! A friend helped me pick the colors and Aaron was the primary painter in the project ;-) Our next project is the kitchen, hopefully we'll get it done before Sofia's birthday. Everyone says the living room feels alot warmer; it's more cozy.
Changing subjects I bought a couple of things for Sofia's birthday, I got a cool, cupcake pan, it comes together and it's a butterfly. I borrowed another cupcake pan that are in shapes of ladybugs, butterflies, bee and dragonflly; like the theme of her room. ;-) ahh, i know how sweet! can't wait! we're not having a very big party, it should be fun!
