Memorial Day 2010

Memorial Day we headed out to the lake for the weekend. It was a great weekend and we got to do lots and lots of relaxing. Sophia got in the pool for the first time this year and of course loved it again this summer.

Taking baby for a walk…

Sophia was super excited to take her baby to the park… baby was even lucky enough to have clothes on too!

Super happy and excited to go to the park.

pushing baby on the swing, Sophia will not get on the swing, she’s not a fan… she didn’t like the baby swing as a baby either!

time to go home!!

My first book signing!

We went to Legacy Books at the Shops of Legacy for a book signing by one of Zach’s favorite authors, Lee Child. Sophia and I played in the children’s books and went for a walk around the shops. Afterwards we headed to Abuelo’s for dinner. We had a great time!

17 months

Playing in Mommy’s shoes!!

Sophia at 17 months you:

wear size 3 diapers, 6, 9, and 12 month onesies (crazy I know), but mostly 12-18 month clothes and size 5 shoes
love fruit especially pears, oranges and bananas
eat with a fork and spoon
still take about 2 bottles a day, since you refuse to drink milk from a cup
run everywhere
love to play dolls
try to take your clothes off so you can play dress up with your clothes
love being outside and go to the park
love when Grandma and Honey come to see you or you go to see them, you love Grandpa and Pops too, but you really really LOVE Grandma and Honey
love playing and being around other babies and kids
love shoes and purses
color with crayons (I predict you are going to be left handed)
understand 2 step directions, you are super smart
have so many words
love playing with Daddy and telling Mommy and Daddy to come and sit with you
talk to everyone that will talk to you and yes that includes strangers passing by
are interested in books, but you don’t want us to read to you because you want to read them yourself, or at least turn the pages on your own
love sitting in chairs and have started to refuse sitting in your highchair
have started tell Mommy and Daddy when you have gone pee or poo in your diaper and are very interested in the toilet and sitting on it, I am thinking potty training is not too far off

Happy Mother’s Day

So for mother’s day we headed to my parents lake house for the weekend. My brother met us there along with Jeremy, Roxie, and Presley. We also had surprise visitors. Mark was driving through to see his mom so he dropped Patty off to spend the weekend with us!

The girls in their PJ’s

Saturday was a wonderful day with all of the family. We hung out outside and played with the girls all afternoon. Days can’t get any better than this.

Sunday, the husbands (and grandma’s) let the mommies sleep in. Once we got up they even helped with breakfast! It was a great weekend. I had a great mother’s day!
