Mother Of The Year!!!

Today started out really rough! I was all ready for work, waiting for Grandma and Papa to get here to babysit Sofia. I decided I would make a quick trip to the mailbox. I put Sofia in her stroller, didn't buckle her in because we were only going across the street. On our way back, the stroller seemed stuck. So I rolled it forward to try to get it moving...no luck. So, I looked down to see what was in the way...and yes you guessed it...It was Sofia face down on the side walk!! SHE FELL OUT OF HER STROLLER!! Not only did she fall out of her stroller, I tried to run her over!
In total panic mode...I scooped down to pick her up and the screaming started. I was so scared to look at her face. I turned around and saw Grandma and Papa pulling up. I waved them down to come now!!! My mom said I was ghost white and she knew something was seriously wrong. My mom grabbed her. (I was in shock) I checked her out from head to toe. She had a tiny scratch on her forehead, her fingers were scratched up, her knees were scrapped, and she stubbed her big toe. Other than that, she was fine. Argh!! It took her some cuddles and a bottle to calm her down. The worst part was I had to leave for work five minutes after!! And let me tell you I cried the whole way!! Poor Pumpkin!!

Let's hope no one from social services reads my blog!!!

Yo Gabba Gabba!!!!

Okay, I need a little parenting advice...
Is it wrong that Sofia loves Yo Gabba Gabba at only 4 and 1/2 months old?
She is fascinated by this freakish show. You see, we have a routine...
She sits in her vibrating chair on my bed and watches Yo Gabba Gabba while I shower.
I actually can hear her laughing at it...

Look, she doesn't even notice me in the room...

This is her "Can't you see my show is on?" look...
Yo Gabba Gabba....Yo!!!

For those of you lucky enough to have never heard of Yo Gabba Gabba this is what the characters look like...And you wonder why I call it freakish???

Sofia's New Favorite Toy...

This weekend Charlie put together Sofia's exersaucer. It is the Little Einstein's version. It is super cute! The best part about it...Sofia loves it!!

She was looking at everything...

And touching everything....
When I was taking pictures...She looked at me like...
"Can't you see I'm busy here!"....
She got a little over stimulated....
and then decided to play some more...She is so much fun!!


Daddy's Out of Town...

The first week of May, Charlie went to a work conference in Las Vegas for six days. I don't know how he did it. I couldn't be away from Sofia that long. He was very sad when he left, especially because she was taking a nap.
As much as he loves Las Vegas he missed Sofia terribly.
So everyday I send him a ton of pictures on my phone.
Here are some of my favorites with the captions I wrote to him....

Good Morning Daddy!!

Mommy and me are having a fun time together!!
Look Daddy, I found my thumb!!
Taking Sofia for a walk...We love and miss you!!! Wish you were here!!
Daddy, I still hate my cereal! Yuck!!
Where in the hell is my Daddy???
Sofia and I survived the six days without Charlie, but we sure did miss him. Oh, and on a side note...The first night he left, Sofia decided to start sleeping through the night...Could you imagine my panic, when I woke up at 6:30 am and hadn't heard a peep from her all night!!!

Look who's 4 months old...

Our little girl is getting bigger! Everyday is a milestone.
She has changed so much this past month!
  • She is sleeping through the night...I'm loving that! =)
  • She weighs 13 pounds and is 23 inches long.
  • She is drinking 6 oz bottles every 3 to 4 hours.
  • She started eating cereal and hates everything about it!
  • She discovered her hands and loves to grab her toys.
  • She sits up in her big girl chair.
  • She talks up a storm! I think we will have an expensive phone bill when she is a teenager!
  • She LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba on Noggin.
  • She laughs and smiles all the time. It is the best!
  • She loves being outside. We sit out on the courtyard and watch the dogs play.
  • The last few days she has discovered her thumb. I think she is going to be a thumb sucker!!

Oh and the best part...she is a great shopper! She bought me a beautiful diamond heart necklace with a heart of her birthstone in the middle for Mother's Day!!! =)

Mother's Day Photo Shoot...

Today we got all dolled up and headed to Bee Canyon park for a photo shoot with one of our favorite photographers Mitzi. My mom, sister, Bella, Olivia, Sofia and I wanted to take some Mother's Day photos. We think we got some really good shots. We can't wait to see the proofs tomorrow! As we were leaving Charlie took some photos of Sofia and I...

I don't think we got any smiles from Sofia today, but when your this cute, who needs smiles anyways!!!

Free Babysitting...

We are very fortunate to have such wonderful parents that jump at the chance to babysit Sofia. However, after looking at the evidence...

Who is really watching her???....Hmmm...I wonder!!
