SOFIA FINDS NEW FRIENDS


I was a little worried about our initial trip out to Essex this weekend- there was bumper to bumper traffic and Sof was screaming in the car... (thankfully she was able to calm herself down).  I haven't had to deal with the screaming yet, usually she just passes right out the second I hit the road.  The good news?  We survived- and we were rewarded!

The playmat seen in the above photos was one of Grandma's gifts for us to take back up to the city with us!  Isn't it great?  Sofia absolutely loves it, and now she has so many awesome, new, high-contrast toys to look at.  It's perfect.  It's kinda funny that I call these hanging bug toys her 'friends', but she honestly seems to really like them.  Did I mention already how much I love her?  She's such a happy baby.

Oh, and that last picture?  Yes, can't forget THAT one.  That is my pile of dishes I have to get back to.  Womp-womp.  Hope you're all enjoying your Monday!

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
