5 months!

We've had a busy couple of weeks. Gram & Pap (my parents) visited last weekend. They hadn't seen Sophia in about a month and they couldn't believe how much she has grown & changed in that time. Our new favorite is her laugh, though it's really more like a chuckle. She cracks me up so much! It's hard to believe Sophia is over 5 months old now. She's close to sitting up on her own and is really starting to become interested in watching Mike & I eating. I think she'll be thrilled to try her first solids in a few weeks once she hits the 6 month mark.

It's been a great couple of weeks full of beautiful weather and outdoor fun but unfortunately Sophia has come down with her first real cold (or virus, actually). Before this it's just been a runny/stuffy nose here and there. She's been cranky and inconsolable at times but we seem to have turned the bend this morning and she's doing much better. Hopefully we'll be able to return to work/daycare for tomorrow.

Easter Recap

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. On Saturday Mike finally painted the last untouched room in the house. It'll soon become Miss. Sophia's playroom which is a great since it's like a maze trying to walk through our family room these days. We'd originally planned some outdoor activities but it was just too rainy!

Sunday we opened Sophia's Easter basket, attended church then headed over to my in-laws. Sophia was in such a great mood all day, it was so much fun.

Visiting the Easter Bunny

This past Saturday we took Sophia & Artie to meet the Easter Bunny for the first time. Poor Artie's legs were quivering the whole time but Sophia was just thrilled to sit on the bunny's lap and pull his hair!










On Sunday we met Mike's parents, brother, sister-in-law & my niece Olivia for breakfast with the Easter Bunny. Olivia had tons of fun playing with her little cousin "Baby Phia" (aka Sophia) and both enjoyed sitting on the bunny's lap.




More to come after Easter Sunday and the bunny's big visit. I can't wait to get Sophia in her Easter dress next!
