Sofia's New Sippy Cup

I hope that DCFS is not called. Look at what Sofia found. She went to the boys water bowl and was drinking out of it. That's her new sippy cup. Just kidding, I hope everyone can see the humor in the photo's. We have since removed the bowls from her reach. Sofia feel asleep while eating today. She has never done this. I guess she was tired of my cooking. Ha Ha. Sofia had a visitor today. Sofia's grandma and grandpa T came over to see her today.

Sad News

We got some sad news yesterday. We met Kevin and Jenn at a waiting family group. And have been friends ever since. They came over yesterday to tell us they are moving. I still can't believe it. I was hoping when they got there daughter we would get together more. I'm sad, happy and jealous. Sad there leaving, happy for them, and jealous I would love to move out of state. Just don't know which state to move too. We will keep in touch and once they get there daughter we will be the first one's asking when are you coming back or when can we come see the baby.

Memorial Day

Today Sofia went to her first car auction. Don't worry we didn't buy any cars. Sofia liked the print out of the cars being auction off. Can't you tell. Aunt Tina and Uncle Lyle had a party for Memorial day. We ate and had fun playing with the swing set. Thanks Grandma!!! Sofia loved playing with the boys. Aunt Tina even supplied the clothes for Sofia and Alyssa. Sofia was giving Alyssa a kiss in the one picture,

Family Photo's

We went to JC Penny's to have pictures taken. Wow what an experience that was. They thought you could sit a 15 month old down and she would stay put. Not!!! We will not be going back to JC Penny's for any photo's. We did get some good pictures. But the stress of the whole thing was not worth the time or money we spent. A couple of people said to try Target next time. That is if there is a next time. No just kidding we will get pictures taken again. I'll post photo's from JC Penny's when we get them back.
Today Sofia learned if you step on Wrigley and use him as a foot stool you can climb on the couch. Lucky Wrigley does not care. We try not to let her do this.
I also had the task of looking at all of the photo's I have taken since Sofia came home. We have to send 16 photo's to China. It took over an hour at Walmart looking at disk after disk to find just the right pictures. And just when I thought I had them Steve decided we need more with the three of us. Well it's kinda of hard to take family snap shots, unless we can teach the boys to take pictures.

Sofia's busy weekend

This weekend we enjoyed the swimming pool. Sofia would love a bigger one, but our yard is too small for a big pool. Sofia was a lucky girl and got a truck like Brody's. She loved this little car that Brody had. So Daddy bought her one. Today Aunt Tina, Alyssa, Sofia and I went to the bike path and the park. The girls enjoyed the walk. Grandma Rockton got a picnic table for the girls. Sofia thought it was lunch time when I sat her down at the table. She loves to eat.

Doctor Visit

Today Sofia had her 15 month doctors visit. She was better with the Doc. She did cry when he checked her ears. In China she did not like her ears checked. The nurse gave her two shots. She was not happy at all. Poor little Sofia. Sofia weighs 21 pounds, she is 31 inches and her head measurement was 45. For her weight and head circumference she is in the 25% range, and for length she is in the 75%.

Home

We got home today. Sofia LOVED Florida. She loved the beach. Uncle Nick took her in the ocean. She is such a little water baby. Tonight she cried because she wanted to take a bath. Brody and Sofia got along great. They are both such cuties. Uncle Nick asked Sofia do you want to stay. I said No. We have to go back so she can play with Brody and go to the beach. We had such a great time and hope to get back soon. I only took 390 photo's. That is only one camera. Grandma had over 300 on hers. The blog only lets you put so many on a page.

Florida

The day before we leave. Sofia and I enjoyed playing outside today. I got a little sun. Not bad just a little pink. Aunt Tina came to visit before we left and gave Sofia a little spending money for the trip. We watched our DVD of China. Wow Sofia has changed. I'm bringing it to Florida, in case Aunt Leigh and Uncle Nick want to watch it. Tonight we are going to pack.

Weekend Summary

On Saturday, we went to Gymboree for the last time. The gymboree in our area is closing on May 25Th. Sofia really liked going. Saturday night we went out to eat at Famous Dave's. Daddy and Mommy met 9 years ago today. On Sunday daddy went down to Byron to watch grandpa race his truck. Sofia and I went with grandma and grandpa to Fudruckers for lunch. We also went shopping but Sofia was too slow and didn't get her red wagon in the cart fast enough. She did get a pair of pants. They match mine. We will have to take some pictures and post. Sofia, Grandma and I leave in 3 days to Florida. We can't wait to see Brody, Aunt Leigh and Uncle Nick.

Dentist Visit

Today daddy had a dentist appointment. So Sofia and I went. Dr. Vaughn said he would take a look at Sofia. Well Sofia didn't like the gloves he had on. So he got one peek and that was it. He said everything looks good from what he could see. He gave Sofia a new toothbrush. We talked about what we were doing at home. He said we are doing everything right. (First time parents) I should quote him as saying. We also went to the park with the boys.
