cheese!

sofias been brining me the camera lately and saying cheese, of course most of the time shes still in her pjs, has a messy face, or her hair isnt done. but still her expression is priceless.

sofia 18 months!

My little miss is a year and a half!! WOW! TIME FLIES! She is looking more and more like a little girl and not a baby.

New this month...

talking more

running fast

saying no, babbling all the time in her language

she says lots of words too! Cat, pup pup, poop, hi, squirrel, book, bye, down, up, zebra, yes, no,shoes, dada, mama, eyes, toes, agua and i may be forgetting others.

she wears 12 - 18 month clothes finally! She went through a growth spurt recently and we HAD to go shopping ! :) Daddy of course was not thrilled but hey nothing fit!

she will sit and color for a long time, she is very focused when she colors.

she eats all day, right now she lovessss chex cereal.

her new favorite movies are happy feet and spirit. im glad i like those too! We are going to take her to see happy feet two over thanksgiving break. chipmunks three comes out in dec and we are going for a girls day out to see that one!

shes adjusted to baby gym now. which usually works that i get to drop them off for about an hr and a half every day. call me crazy but i actually start to miss them during that time. but i know its good for all of us.

she dances to music, she loves if u r happy and you know it, twinkle twinkle, itsy bitsy spider, head and shoulders, knees, and toes.

she loves to kick the ball

shes adjusted to the time change well! Thank goodness!!

she loves bath time again

i dont know how many teeth she has but its a lot now. shes done really well with her teething pain.

shes ready to potty train, she tells me when shes gone poop and she takes off her diaper. so i need to get with it! Im just so busy all the time, lol!

shes into hiding and hiding things, for example a redbox dvd, which is still mia! I didnt even get to watch it.

she loves to be outside, we go out every day around 5 and wait for dada to come home. she gets so excited when erik comes home.its really cute.

she loves french fries!

she is noticing that hektor is more interactive and at times shes unsure if she likes it. shes learning though. she still likes hugging and kissing him. every morning the first thing she asks for is baby?

she had her first tempur tantrum on my birthday, lol. happy birthday to me. it was due to the fact that hektor grabbed my keys!

i love her to the moon and back! Happy 18 months sofia :)

Hektor 4 month pictures

Hektor is 4 months :-)

Hektor at 4 months

* starting to interact and be a contributing member of our family!

* loves to watch Sofia jump around, he giggles,its precious!

* still not sleeping through the night. not even close. Im amazed at how I can function with such little sleep

*Actually, he does not sleep much during the day either!

* Started baby gym! He does great. We go about 4-5 times a week.

*Loves his pacifier...another surprise to me.

* loves to be carried.

* it seems like his teething has begun. Theres times when he is super drooly and just naws away at his fist.

* he is smiley like his sister!

* still sleeps with us in our bed. I just dont see the point in putting him in the nursery upstairs. He wakes up wayyyy to often.

* He wears 3-6 months clothes. Some 6 month outfits fit him already. This surprises me because Sofia never was ahead on clothing sizes. Looks like hes going to catch up to her quick!

* still in cloth diapers, he hasnt gotten one diaper rash yet!

takes one solid nap a day. then maybe two more cat naps but hes a very light sleeper and will wake easily.

* He is very talkative all of a sudden! And hes pretty loud!

We love him bunches and it seems like everyday I get more attached, I didnt know that was possible!

,

brother and sisterly love

Sofia is 17 months!

My little angel is 17 months today! Hooray!!! And yes things have gotten easier, just not as easy as I would like, lol! But we are doing well. Adjusting as you could say... But I could not be any happier :)

* is OFF the bottle

*not yet potty trained but says poop when she comes looking for me to change her

*sleeps through the night

* wears 12- 18 month clothing, size 4 diapers

*weighs 22 pounds

* we go to play dates but still doesn't seem to socialize with others that often, shes kind of a loner right now

*she has this pink turtle that she goes to bed with, it is so sweet

* she goes to sleep smiling

* we tell her go, go, go ,go and she runs in place. i really need to record that! it is hillarious!

* she loves itsy bitsy spider song, if you are happy and you know it, and twinkle twinkle

* LOVES to be outside and get dirty

* has expanded her pallete and eats many different things now, its wonderful!

*sometimes we regress and drink the baby's bottle when theres one laying around :/

*she loves to play ball

* she loves feeding herself.although it takes FORRREVVVERRRR!

* she says mmmm, mmmm, mmmm when she sees food on TV

* she says woooo, wooo, woooo when she sees flashy commercials (ex: j.los most recent commercial for clothes at kohls) is she my daughter or what!?

She is truly an angel and a very special girl. I couldn't love her any more!

3 months:-)

MORE PICS TO COME!
we made it! Lol. This was a mile stone for me because we can begin going to the gym again! Whohooo....two whole hours to myself and the kids in baby gym. Now the time has come and Im hesitant to go. Why you ask? Well, Hektor cries a lot! Im afraid that they will come get me and not watch him. Also, it is such a production to get out of the house with these two that Im afraid that by the time we get to the gym I will be too exhausted to work out! We will get back into the swing of things soon.

At three months Hektor

weighed 11 pounds at his 2 month check up, thinking hes about 13 now. He is getting heavy.

eats every two hours!

the colic is gone. Though he is still more fussy than Sofia ever was,but hes gotten much better. Every week he makes progress

is 100% in cloth diapers

still looks like daddy

smiles at Sofia. he can not wait to join her in all her activity. he loves to watch her. sunday she was jumping on the bed and he was giggling just watching her. cutest thing EVER!!!

hes transitioned into goat milk. i still nurse about 85% of the time, but when he gets a bottle its goat milk. been very good on his tummy so far.

he went to his first play date today!

loves to be outside

he likes to have his way. he is very determined. if he wants you to pick him up he will make a big stink about it until you do.

he gets cute every single day. i couldnt ask for anything more :)

we love this addition to our family!
