All three of us have been sick for a week or so now. I think we all got run down while Sophia was sick with measles. We are going through a lot of Kleenex and Vicks enough that we are thinking of buying shares.
Sophia has turned 11 months....wow does it ever go fast. We will be celebrating her birthday in less than a week...wow we have a lot to do.
We are excited to have cousin Iris over every Tuesday again for a while. Sophia and Iris act like sisters. Sophia follows Iris everywhere and wants all the toys Iris is playing with. Iris follows me around saying "Baby Sophia wants...". She is a good advocate for Sophia :)
This past Tuesday we tried to do crafts but seriously I couldn't even attempt to do
anything with both of them. I would just get the packages of sticks and
pipe cleaners open and Sophia would be throwing them on the floor and
putting them in her mouth and Iris was wanting me to open every thing. Then once we were all set Iris said "I want to go play outside". So we abandoned the crafts and got Sophia all dressed up in her snowsuit for the first time and went to play in the snow. Sophia was a great sport because all she could really do was sit or lay down while being bundled up. But since Iris was doing stuff it allowed her some good observing time. We only lasted about 20 mins in total because Sophia was looking a little bored and chilly (ok it was me who was chilly. I was the only one without a snowsuit on).So we went in and had hot chocolate...well I had hot chocolate, Iris had soggy marshmallows and left the hot chocolate part. It is definitely fun and entertaining having a 3 year old and an 11 month old around the house.
We have also been setting up for Sophia's birthday party and for Christmas. Enjoy the pics

| Tired after all the holiday decorating. (this was not posed, she actually laid down and stayed there for a while) |

| I bought her
this stroller for $4. Great buy and she loves it. I was trying to get
her something she can practice walking with. She fills it with her toys
and any 'treasures' she finds that day then pushes it around. |
