Crazy Summer Weekends!

There were tea parties with her friend Sofia (yes same name spelled with an F), sidewalk chalk art on the patio with her music teachers daughter Jolee ( Joleeee), a Children's festival, Dragon Boat Races, Break Dancers,a bike ride, and a little jazz in the Park. After such a long exciting weekend she felt it necessary to make a toast  - with WATER people relax it was only water and the glass was plastic.  

100 degrees in Denver = 67 degrees in Winter Park!

So it was just about a year ago to the day that we went on our first hike together as a family...today Sofia took her first steps on the same mountain. She loves being outside - actually she is OBSESSED with being outside! She especially loves sitting on the front porch with us for like EVER! She is currently attempting to figure out how to bypass both of us and simply unlock the front door herself. Car rides, bike rides, walks .... whatever it is that can get her out of the house. Her reaction to seeing the mountains .... "WOW"! 

Oh Sweet Little Blog I've Missed You So!

It's been so very long since I wrote here and I've truly missed it. I loved being able to recap all the wonderful turning points in my little girls life. Starting a business and going back to work part time mixed in with all the day to day craziness has kept me very busy, but I realize how important it is for me to keep a journal of all the little moments in her life so she can look back and see just how amazing it has been to have her in our lives. So here we go ya'll Sofia's new chapter begins - 18 months old: walking, talking A LOT, sharing tea parties with anyone who'll participate, reading along to her favorite books, practicing her ABC's and 123's, learning to clean up after herself, practicing her new fancy footwork dance moves, listening to her favorite band She & Him, still attending music class, learning the names of all her favorite people especially her friend "Happy NoNo", learning to sing along, taking walks around the block without her stroller, taking rides in her "bike car", going swimming for the first time, teaching other kids to share, taking care of her baby doll Sasee (which oddly enough is what she calls herself as well), still loving on her Curious George her pal since early on, obsessed with having everything in two's, making funny faces until you laugh, learning how to tickle, and enjoying eating out more than in toddler I know especially when they give her a big girl napkin. Sofia- your are pure delight every minute - your big smile can melt my heart and your hugs & kisses make me happier than I've ever been in my whole life. Thank you my little rock star for showing me how beautiful the simplest moments can be. xoxo mama
