Baby's First Cold...:(

This pretty much sums up Sofia's Father's Day weekend. Sofa, Sippy Cup, & Sleeping. So all plans for a fun-filled weekend were put on hold & we snuggled up on the sofa with our favorite blankie & toys. Finally, by Sunday we were able to get out for an afternoon walk to get some fresh air. She also learned to hold and drink from a Sippy Cup right from the first try pretty cool stuff - its a bit big for her to hold up but she's figuring it all out.

Whew What a Week!

This has been some week for such a little person. First, you started eating some pureed food this week - I got to finally use my "BabyCook" & made some pureed organic peaches & brown rice cereal for your first non-bottle meal. You were a bit apprehensive at the strange object coming at your mouth, but you licked it off the spoon & ate it up. Next up will be butternut squash. Sunday we all ventured out for a walk trying to beat the crazy afternoon thunderstorms that have hit us every single day for the past couple of weeks. Well, we didn't make it & ended up about 20 blocks from home running in a downpour as we watched a funnel cloud forming over head. By far the craziest thing ever. Thankfully, the nicest couple came out and invited us to take shelter on their porch and when the storm continued to worsen they offered to drive us home. They must have felt very very bad for you with such complete idiots as parents. OH & your hair really seems to be growing quite nicely as seen in the picture above. I think you are making a fist & considering giving me a good punch for taking you out in a potential tornado....

Sofia's First Pool Party!

Sofia went to her first pool party today in honor of Quinn's 3rd Birthday. For those of you at our wedding Quinn was the adorable little man belonging to our good friends Travis & Stacey. Scott dipped her legs into the pool & she seemed a bit in awe at the size of the "bathtub" but she didn't scream bloody murder which is a always a good sign. Believe me she may be only 5 months old but her communication skills are quite sharp...

5 Months My Little Peanut....

Five Months my love & your little face just keeps getting cuter & cuter as clearly stated by the evidence above. You have a new little baby cousin, Caden. You had your first trip to the zoo, your second trip to the art museum, & your first time about 5280 elevation when we visited your Uncle Dave & Aunt Anne's beautiful new house. You've made some new friends at music class & had to say goodbye to your friend Ellie who graduated to the next level of Gymboree. You are getting super anxious to sit up & turn over & crawl. All of which are good signs that you are getting prepared to test your little wings. You've learned all sorts of new baby words & can reach some awfully high pitches when you are excited. You are a silly little girl who likes to cover herself up and pretend your asleep when momma comes in to get you up in the mornings. When I get close to your crib you pull the cover down and say eeeee with a big smile on your face. Is there anything better than that at 7 in the morning?
