On the go!

"The Balloon Lady" came to our play group on Friday at the New Territory Water Park. She made Sofia her very first balloon animal, it was a butterfly. Here here she is showing off her masterpiece. She was a little hesitant about going in the water so we enjoyed it from afar. Sofia wanted to sit in baby Maggie's stroller while her Mom was feeding her. It was the first time she actually WANTED to sit in a stroller. Look at that sweet face!

Someone was not happy about going on the merry-go-round. She loved watching the other children ride it, who would have thought she would be so upset about riding it herself?

Nana to the rescue! Sosa and Nana rode the whole time without tears.

Saturday morning at the gym, Sofia and Syd played basketball together for the first time. Funny thing is, we didn't have to teach her. She already understood the concept, the ball was just too big for her to 'shoot' but she definitely wants to play ball.

Delaney and Sofia played together Saturday at Catherine's birthday bash!

Sosa found the sandbox!

Sweet family lovin'

At the Barn Park on Sunday, Sofia found someone's tricycle. We didn't think she was ready for a bike of any kind but apparently, we were wrong. She's a pro already, she's can even ride backwards. Happiness.

With a 17 month old toddler, we tend to be 'busy' alot. It seems like we are always on the go. This weekend was no exception so here's a quick rundown of some exciting things we did.

Friday, we ate at this great Latin restaurant which has live music. Sofia LOVED it. She was not in a particularly great mood since she had a very short nap late in the afternoon but when the band got started to play, she popped up and began to shake her groove thang. She was the star of the show! The restaurant isn't very large to begin with but she captivated the crowd and was dancing to the beat. She was so entertaining, they might even hire her as a back up dancer?

Saturday, we went to a birthday party for Syd's co-worker and played by the pool the whole afternoon. Sofia, Fabianna and I played soccer and took a walk while the men grilled. When we got back, the food was ready and Sofia ate a ton! For having a mom who is a vegetarian, this baby can't get enough meat. I'm happy to know that my daughter is getting enough protein .

After lunch, we headed to another birthday party in Sugar Land. Sofia had so much fun playing with Delaney, Isabella and Aevary at Catherine's birthday bash. They have an amazing backyard so the girls ran around, colored with chalk and played in the sand. All the excitement wore Sofia out and we called it a night fairly early as we had been running around all day.

Sunday, we had a day of rest. We were all exhausted from the week's activities so we kept things low key: we went to the park, watched the NBA playoffs and took a nap. Primo, Danielle, Vanessa, Nana, Uncle Alex, and the Gortons' stopped by for dinner. It was a great end to a great weekend.
