Fun-Filled Weekend! (& A Bump or Bruise or Two)










We ended the weekend with a trip up to Sloans Lake for the Dragon Boat Festival where we watched some breakdancers (no idea what they had to do with the Asian Festival but it was cool regardless) and some boats and Sofia did her best impression of Billy Idol because she digs his music.








We played with our favorite animal, Tosh the kitty. Thankfully Sofia once again was unsuccessful at her continued attempts to remove Tosh's ear from his head ... being all looks & no brains Tosh just keeps coming back for more.

































There was swimming & more swimming. Much like the bathtub Sofia can't get enough time in the water. Considering she started out hating and I'm talking true blood curdling scream hatred baths when she was a wee teeny little baby it's quite amazing the complete turn around. Although she still yells in horror when you try to wipe pureed pears off her face...
As a side note: Saturday was a bit rough when I put Sofia on our bed to get dressed and she decided it was a perfect time to figure out how to go from sitting straight up to assuming the crawl position and scoot herself off the bed in about 2 seconds flat. Luckily I did a major league slide and caught her before she hit the floor.

Grass in Our Toes & A Swing in The Park









We got ourselves all dressed in our new summer outfit from Sofia's Great-grandparents & spent the afternoon in the park.

Catching Up Continues...You're Baptism!





Last weekend was Sofia's baptism at our church. It was a fun-filled weekend with Nana & Grampy and Auntie Nikki & Uncle Dave (aka The Godparents) coming all the way from Boston. It took a couple of days for her to stop crying and wondering what all the commotion was about in the house but she definetely missed everyone when they left. It took her a couple of days to stop looking for everyone. Thankfullly we will get to see everyone again in a few weeks when we go to Boston for our first family vacation!!! We love you all and miss you terribly!!! Thank you for making the weekend so memorable!!!xoxo

Blogging Backlog - My Baby Turns 1/2 Year Old!






Yes I realize this post is almost exactly one month late - but better late than never is my blogging philosophy. This has been a month of growth spurts & teething which has caused you lots of cranky discomfort my little one. You have totally sprouted right into your 12 month pants - which is odd considering the size of both your parents. However, if you are like me you will grow all at once and then you'll just stop for good. Or maybe you'll be a 5ft 9 supermodel - I guess we'll have to wait & see....
