Bicycle....

For the past few months, I have been researching and looking at different bicycles for Sophia. I found the perfect one... it is called the "Kettrike Air Navigator - Kettler".

She can use it till she is 5 yrs. old and of course has 5 different seat settings as she grows. It also will allow us to add another seat for our second child. Other features that I loved was that it comes with a bar that gives us the power to control the steering. Sophia loves it, but I think cannot wait till she can peddle herself.

Milestones

We have been so busy these past few days and it has been so much fun. We had her 1 yr. appointment today, and she is as healthy as a horse. She weighs 24.5 lbs. and is 31 inches long. She took her first step today! (Although not camera) We have been expecting it since she can cruise comfortably holding on the side of the wall or a couch. She walks really well with me holding one hand. We took her to the beach on Friday, and as usually we could not keep away from the water, the weather was in the 90's that day so the cold cold SF water was perfect. Although we limited it, because that water IS SO COLD. Other than that we haven't gone out with our usual mothers group since we have been running errands and/or sleeping (her sleeping habits have been kinda out of routine). She has switched from formula to milk completely and Sophia I don't even think has noticed. The hardest part is for me, we are also transitioning her to a cup completely and I have to stay up with her at 5am while she has her morning milk.

Myron and I have been blessed...

Happy Birthday Sophia!!

Today Sophia turned ONE...at exactly 6:37 pm, last year she was born. Geez, I cant believe how fast time flew. It seems like only yesterday she came home for the first time. I was, as a mom sad for this day to come, not because it was her birthday and she turned one but because she is growing up...I know she is only one...but I can only imagine how fast the next year and years will fly by. This fact makes me sad....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR BEAUTIFUL SOPHIA!!!!!
Love,
Daddy Myron & Mommy Julie

This video is of this last year...I hope you enjoy it....

Dog Lover

Sophia is a dog person. She adores and loves dogs. She scrunches her nose and makes this adorable breathing sound through her nose. She can crawl endlessly following all the dogs around around and will stand for long moments on the other side of the glass just looking at them and pointing. I cannot wait to get a dog for her, since we live in an apartment, we are not allowed, but when we buy a house that will be the first thing we buy.

This video is of our last week visit to Tia Olinda's and the weekend following with just us. Enjoy!!

Pier 39 Aquarium

We went on Saturday to the Pier 39 Aquarium. Sophia was so curious by all the fishes, although she could not express herself, she was pointing alot to all the different fishes and sea creatures.
