Sophias 2nd Birthday!!

Oh my goodness, Sophia is officially TWO!!

Yesterday was her birthday... I am in shock of how fast this year went by, it seems like yesterday we were just celebrating her 1st birthday. My parents threw her a small birthday party on Sunday (before leaving for Hawaii) and invited Sophia's closest buddies. Her Tia Oli bought her the most delicious ELMO cake ever and she received lots of books, clothes and toys from everyone. THANK YOU!!

On her official birthday yesterday, I invited a few moms in my mothers group to join us for some cupcakes and watermelon. It was a normal day at the park except for the cupcakes and parachute which they all went nuts over.

In the evening, Myron and I took her to Fentons to have some ice cream and too celebrate a little bit more, she seemed a bit uncomfortable when the whole restaurant sang "Happy Birthday" but she soon got over it and blew out her candle beautifully.

Until next year...

Past Month

Wow this past month has flown by and as always Sophia is growing intellectually and physically. She never ceases to amaze us. She turns two next week, I can not believe it. It is flying by!! She is talking more and more everyday, it will not be long be for the conversations began. She continues to love reading (she is even attempting too), and eating. She is a girly girl even with all her friends that are boys. I try to keep her very busy in the morning by going to the park, zoo or indoor play gym in Berkeley. Then we come home for her afternoon nap.

Don't forget to leave a comment. ...

Fort Fundston

Two weeks ago, we spent the day at Fort Fundston beach in San Francisco with Tia Oli, Tio Mario and her three cousins Mario, Gaby and Ruben. Sophia had a blast as usual and threw a bit of a tantrum when it was time to go.

Easter Fun!!!

This year was so much fun!! My parents recently moved to a new house with this huge piece of land as there yard. We took full advantage and the whole family came to celebrate. We had an Easter egg hunt, confetti egg fight, and a family kick ball game, among other things. I cannot wait till next year!! (Thank you mom for that delicious food, I wish we took some home)

Myron and I especially enjoyed the Easter egg hunt this year with Sophia...while looking she was saying "huevo... huevo" (Spanish translation = egg) SO ADORABLE!! She is talking alot more and is starting to say little sentences, both in english and spanish. But there is still alot of babble we do not understand. She will be talking in full sentences in no time. I still have not potty trained her but she knows where and what the "potty" is and what goes in there.

Sorry for the lack in updates, Myron is in school full time (LVN to RN) and I am taking a few classes, so our evenings are filled with homework on the computer.



Song: "Why Can't We Be Friends"

Shower Time

Wake Up, Wake Up...

This is one of Sophias favorite songs from Sesame Street. I have been looking for a CD version, but cannot find it.

Growing Up Toddler Style

Sophia is growing so quickly, its still never ceases to amaze us at the rate she is doing it too. She is saying small sentences now, both English and Spanish. I am even learning the basics. We are constantly watching what we say too, she catches everything, especially at the most vulnerable of moments.

I have lost count of the amount of teeth she has and she officially weighs 28.5 lbs. She started throwing tantrums but are trying to nip that in the butt, our motto is "ignore bad behavior and praise good ones", its hard but has seemed to work so far. Daddy is most gullible. She loves babies, giving hugs and kisses.

Food is still the object of her affection and she gets the sneakiest when she is around something she wants....HIDE YOUR COFFEE!! Since I watch Remy twice a week now, Remy and her have become very close. They have complete conversations, want to share everything and follow each others moods. I am curious to see how Sophia acts when her brother or sister come around...

No, I am not pregnant but we are going to start trying in June, hoping for a March/April baby.
