Santa's Visit

We ventured out in the cold KC weather to see Santa only to be dissapointed by the fact that Sofia would hav nothing to do with the big guy in the red suit. Oh well, I guess she is still a little too young, maybe next year. At least my baby Stella behaved and sat on his lap :)

Stella's Bath Time 1 month old

1 month old

Time is going by so fast, and my little Stella is already a month old. She now weighs 9lbs and is 20 inches long. She is starting to hold her head up on her own for small amounts of time and she has started to smile! I am so in love with her! What an absolute blessing she is to our family!

A Few of my Favorite Things!

Sofia being Silly

I am 2 weeks old today!

Sisters!

Sofia is adjusting very well with new life with a sister. She is very curious of 'baby.' She helps mommy by getting diapers and throwing dirty diapers away. And she loves to kiss, hug and hold sissy!

Meet Miss. Stella

Happy Birthday, Stella Rose

November 1, 2010 - Stella Rose is here. She is happy, healthy and just as beautiful as her big sister. She was born at 10:21am on 11.1.10 she was 8lbs and 1oz and 19.5 inches. Very similar to her sister when she was born. My labor went great, very fast, but for the most part pretty easy. I am so blessed, my family is so wonderful!

Happy Halloween, 2010

Sofia's first Halloween where we took her trick or treating. She got the hang of collecting candy door to door, really fast! She had a great time, and even I got into the dress up....by decorating my bump!

Maternity/Family Shoot

We recently had our family photos taken (before baby 2 greets us soon!) and they turned out so amazing! She does amazing work!
Most of the pics were too big for my blog, so poor Al got cut off on some of them, head over to http://luckyphotgrapher.net and check out her blog for the full pictures.

Sofia Recognizing Pictures of her Family!

I just LOVE this video, I caught Sofia looking through a bunch of pictures of my family and she is able to point to the picture and say who it is. She loves to look through this book often and resight people's names she knows! So cute!

Sofia's Last Dance Class

Here is a recent clip from Sofia's last dance class. She was so cute in her little dance outfits!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

We took Sofia to pick out some pumpkins the other day. She enjoyed running around all of the pumpkins. It was a little too windy that day, which made it hard to capture a great picture.

38 weeks - almost done!

Pampers and Pedi's

My thoughtful friends threw me a 'Pampers and Pedi's' shower recently. We all got together, had a pedicure and they stocked me up with diapers. A great combo!

Sofia's Words she Knows!

Here is Sofia reciting the recent words she knows how to say! Even as I post this, this is already outdated, she is learning new words everyday! Her vocabular is growing so fast and its so exciting.

Tumbling Class!

This fall we have started Sofia into tumbling class. At first she was not so sure, but now she LOVES going and playing with all the activities. She is even starting to become more adventurous doing some of the tumbling tricks they teach during each class. Future Cheerleader??? I think so!

Happy Fathers's Day 2010

Baby Stuff...

I feel bad, I have hardly written anything about the next one we have coming. With Sofia I used to update this all the time with "Baby News." I guess time to myself is very limted! But anyways Baby 2 is doing great, I am almost half way done! 20 weeks on Friday! On Monday Al and I will go to the doctor to find out offically if this one is another girl, or a little boy! My pregnancy has been going wonderful. I have been feeling great, and doing well. The baby is growing and seems to be healthy. We have had about 4 doctors apt. and two sonograms. Little baby has had a heartrate around the 150-160's each time. Sofia was about the same. I will try to do better about keeping updated with belly pics and baby pics. I am still waiting for that bump to pop, I am sure its coming soon! I guess its really time to get busy and get focused on preparing for life with 2 children!!!!!!

18 Weeks with Baby #2!!!

Chicago

We took a quick weekend getaway to Chicago, saw some friends, and the big city. We had a great time. Sofia loved Michigan Ave.
