I have been told that I'm not keeping the blog updated like I should. Well lets see we have all had colds this week. We did get to baby talk this week. Sofia and Alyssa had a lot of fun playing and coloring. On Friday, Alyssa came over to play with Sofia. They were playing photographer!!!! I hope everyone is staying healthy and warm. Sofia did get her flu shot. I should have more photo's on Monday. (We might get a winter storm this weekend:)

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!!!!!







I cooked my first Turkey today. And nobody has gotten sick so I must of did something right:) Well to tell you the truth mom came over this morning and helped me with the turkey. When Sofia woke up she ran into the living room and found grandma on the coach, She was very surprised that grandma would be here that early in the morning. Grandma took the boys home with her and Sofia got her coat, gloves and hat out because she wanted to go with. She cried because grandma left her. Sofia enjoyed all the food. Her favorite was grandma's 7 layer salad. After lunch Sofia and I took a nap. When we woke up it was time to go see grandma and grandpa T. Our batteries died on the camera so we didn't get many photo's tonight. I hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving.

Daddy's FAT & BLOODY LIP





I went out for a walk with the boys and when I came back, Steve had a washcloth on his lip. I said what happen. Well Sofia and daddy were playing. Sofia likes to stand on daddy's stomach. I guess Sofia was standing on him and she fell and when she fell her knee hit his lip. Sofia is fine. Daddy on the other hand will have to explain how a 21 month beat him up:) Since we are scheduled to get 1-2 inches of snow, we decided to find Sofia's winter hat and gloves. (Sofia actually left her hat and gloves on)

Unsolved Mystery & Mystery Solved & Explanation Needed!!!

On Sunday, daddy gave Sofia lunch and then put her down for a nap. (nothing unusual about that) When she woke up he changed her and she was still a little sleepy so she sat on my lap for awhile. I had giving her her juice and some snacks. So she needed to be changed again. When I changed her I noticed a rash with white spots. I said what the heck is this. Daddy said he saw it when he changed her but thought it was heat rash. I took out my parent book and looked up rashes. To me it looked like hives. So the first thing I did was try my mom. She was on the Internet. So I emailed her a photo of the rash. We then called the doctor on call. As I waited for the doctor we were thinking what could she have gotten into.


Daddy had given Sofia cod for lunch. She has eating fish before. So we weren't sure why she would be allergic to fish. When the doctor called I told him about the rash . He said it sounded like hives. He asked if she had anything different to eat. I explain to him about the Cod. I guess Cod is one fish that most people are allergic too. Mystery Solved. We are not to give her any fish until her doctor can do a allergy test on her.


Explanation needed!! The doctor couldn't explain, why she would be allergic to fish when she was on a fish base cereal in China. If we could read Chinese we would be able to tell what kind of fish was in her cereal, since we kept the box. Sofia is doing great. It has not affected her in any way. She is playing and eating. The Doctor did say it could last a day or two. We are very lucky it didn't affect her breathing.

T.G.I.F.


Sofia didn't want Brandon on her car. Brandon tried getting Grandma to help him, but she wasn't getting in the middle of their fight.

Brandon laying down on Elmo, Sofia is at it again. She doesn't want to share.

Brandon upset over the car as Sofia pushes him off it.

We took Sofia to have her photo taken for the calendar. Woo what fun that was :( She was dressed as a movie star. When we get the proofs back I'll post them. Daddy says she doesn't like to have her picture taken because of me. I traumatized her by taking too many photo's. I told him I don't think so.

What an Exciting Sunday!!!







We want to first say a Big Thank You to everyone who voted for Sofia. She and Alyssa are both going to be in the Rockford Register Star Calendar. So you can bet you will get a calendar for Christmas. Sofia and I went to Grandma and Grandpa's today. We went out for lunch and did a little shopping. Sofia loves Fudruckers. Sofia and Grandpa played in the leaves after lunch. I wanted a picture of her sitting in the leaves but that didn't happen. Grandpa and Grandma T came over tonight. They got Sofia flowers to congratulate her in getting in the top 12 of the baby contest. This is as close as she would get to the vase. I tried everything.

1 year Anniversary & Sofia turned 21 months

















One year ago today we were getting off an airplane at O'hare airport. Wow has time gone by quickly. I can still remember the wait!!! I took out the DVD we made for Sofia's homecoming party and watched it. Wow we have all changed in just one year!!! I'm in the process of making another DVD of her first year home. (not done yet) Some of Sofia's new things too say are, I want it!!! Would you Go!!! Daddy says that one a lot in the car!!! Sofia also likes to make animal sounds. If you ask her what a Cow or a duck (etc.) says she will make that sound. Tonight Grandpa and Grandma came over and took us out for dinner and then we went Shopping.

Been a couple of Busy Days

Grandma and Sofia watching the Backyardigans. They were dressed alike. In their white shirts and blue pants.






Sofia showing off her artwork. She made a turkey out of her hand. Daddy and Sofia playing with the beans at the library.









These are all the guys daddy works with on his shift. Steve's Sergeant is retiring on Sunday, so we went out for pizza. Sofia enjoyed the evening with the guys. We won't have to worry about boys, with cops like these guys protecting her.

Sofia's First Circus






Last night we all went to Ringling Bros and Barnum Bailey Circus. Sofia loved the horses and elephants. She cried for more when the elephant left the ring. Brandon and Alyssa were sleeping when the elephant came out. Sofia was a lucky winner of an elephant painting. The elephant used his nose and painted a picture. We couldn't believe it when they called her name. We took about 100 photo's. I'll have to make a scrapbook. Thanks Grandma, Grandpa T, Aunt Tina and Amnesty for the tickets and gifts.
