A Wagon Made For Two
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Alex and a little girl named Sophia.
They were the best of friends.
Alex received a wagon for his birthday.
Their mommies couldn't resist taking them on a walk in the new wagon.
Oh what fun was had!

Alex Turns One!
Sophia attended her first birthday party on Saturday. Our good friend and neighbor Alexander turned one!
Sophia had so much fun. It was a Backyardigan themed party. Sophia took home a Pablo and a Uniqua sippy cup and bowl, woot woot!
There was a crawling contest and Little Miss came in second! Can I hear another woot woot!!
Good job Jeannie on such a great first birthday party for your little man!!
The Little Party Goers!

Mommy And Me - Self Portrait
Sophia is napping and I thought I would get on here and do a quick post.
You have to forgive me this week for being a bit lazy.
I haven't had the time to browse all my favorite blogs. I apologize for not saying hello!
This week seems like I can't quite get a handle on life. The house has been a constant state of mess even though I feel like I am constantly cleaning and tidying. I feel like I have been running in circles and getting nowhere! I have failed on the exercise this week. I have the energy of a sloth! Whoa is me. Snap out of it already! Quick where is coffee or mmm Diet Pespi?
A couple days ago I went to the health clinic where Sophia gets her immunizations. My friend and I stopped in before heading to the mall to get our babies weight checked. Sophia was last weighed at her Dr's at 9 months. She weighed 17.5 pounds. In my head I was thinking Sophia weighed at least 20 pounds. Maybe even more. She seems so big to me these days. I get her undressed and place her on the scale press the magic button and lo and behold she weighs 17 pounds and 14 ounces. WHAAAATT! How can she have only gained a few ounces?!?!? My mouth became dry and guilt kicked in. It has been 2 long months and my baby basically weighs the same.
How is this possible?
Yes she is a finicky eater.
Yes she did go through a 'hunger strike' a while ago.
But still.
I know she has gotten taller. All her pants fit in length and are huge in the waist.
A problem I wish I had not my daughter!!
I know she is healthy. She is full of energy and is happy. She has radiant skin. She eats what she wants and as much as she wants. When she is done she is done. I do not force the situation.
She has her one year check up next month. As much as I wanted to run and scream towards the Doctors office I have resisted. With much talk from my sister and mom I now feel less stressed about the whole thing. I know she is healthy! Maybe just maybe she has a speedy metabolism and won't have the same curse I have in life with weight. I hope so.
I went out and bought a bunch of new foods that I hope Sophia will like. I gave her peanut butter yesterday for the first time. It went over ok, she gulped down milk with her PB sandwich. Cute.
Oh right I named this Post 'Mommy and Me - Self Portrait'. Here is why. We attempted yesterday to get a photo together. Remember how I can only get pictures of the top of Sophia's head. Well now when I do get a picture of her face...her eyes are closed. Lord have mercy.

Miss Independent - 11 Months, 2 Days
I am still in shock that my baby is only one month away from being a one year old!!
I look at her now and I see a toddler. No longer a baby. I am in denial.
As sad as I am that she is growing up fast. I love this stage...well every stage for that matter.
It is so fun to see her explore and learn new things. She has so much fun just playing on her own and chasing after Lilly.
Sophia is a very independent eater. I can no longer spoon feed her anything!! She has been like this for a month or so already. She has to do everything herself.
Yesterday was a perfect crisp fall day. We went on a long walk with my sister Sara and her dog. We walked up a big hill which overlooked the city. It was beautiful!
Here are a few pictures of the day and of my 11 month old baby girl!
