The week in review

It's been another busy week here. Sophie (and Mommy) started feeling much better by the weekend which was good because Daddy started a big bathroom renovation project so we sort of had to get out of the house so he could work.

On Saturday we went to Smith playhouse for craft making, a play and a dance party. Sophie enjoyed all the kids and toys but could have cared less about the play or dance party pretty much.

Then Sunday we went to the mall with her Dee Ree, Aunt Theresa and Cousin Liana. It was fun to hang out and shop just us girls and then Daddy met us and we all had a nice dinner together.

On Monday, Mommy had a prenatal appointment so Sophie got to come with me and she got to listen to Emily's heartbeat and even her own heartbeat. This is always a big hit. Emily is growing big (the size of a head of lettuce now!! - 18 inches long and a little over 3 lbs) and everything is right on track.

Tuesday was supposed to be library day where we go to the little local library here and have a story time and see our library friends but Sophie decided she didn't want to do that - she wanted to go to the Zoo. So, off to the Zoo we went to enjoy the gorgeous weather. Then on Tuesday night, Sophie had a "virtual playdate" via skype video with her friend Kiera in Petaluma, California. The girls talked and sang and played (they were shy with each other at first but then by the end we couldn't hardly stop them - they were showing each other their favorite toys and singing songs and trying on hats and sunglasses together).

On Wed. for St. Pat's we went out to Pottstown to see Nanny Pat and Aunt Pat (appropriate, right??!!) and Caely and Sophie finally got to meet her cousin Billy. On Wed she started to have a runny nose again and by Thursday she was sneezing up a storm and her nose and eyes were running so I guess she got another cold (sigh - poor kid). Thankfully, no fever with this one as of yet so some say maybe it's allergies and part of me wonders if it's her two year molars coming in (because she also has her hand in her mouth non-stop!). Who knows... At least (knock wood) she hasn't been kept awake at night by this cold so far. So we're trying to take it easy again and just lay low so she can rest up and get well for all the birthday festivities next week... Lots of excitement in store for little girls turning 2!!

What a week, huh???
