Playing dress up already



A friend of the family just recently went to Panama to visit family and friends and was kind enough to bring back the girls a gift. Here is Olivia trying out her little Panamanian dress and doesn't she look just adorable?!?

One more week!!!



One week from today we will be leaving for our Italian vacation and I am so looking forward to every second. We will be gone for 2 weeks for Sofia's 3rd trip over and Olivia's 1st trip. I can't wait for our family and friends to see the girls!

It was hard to choose pictures for the collage seeing how I have well over 3,000 pictures from our Italy vacations in just the 5.5 years we have been going since getting married. These were some of the many favorites of special memories!

Little Laundry Helper








Being the adorable 2-year-old that she is, Sofia is getting a lot more curious as the days go by. Whether we witness this by her "why or why not?" after most things we say or wanting to try out everything on her own. My favorite lately is the wanting to help with household chores. Who would think that she would want to help "fold" laundry but she did...sort of anyway. While I folded, she unfolded and put everything back in the basket for me and said "they're dirty mommy." I did manage to get the clean clothes folded and put away while she amused herself with her daddy's clean socks.

It may have taken twice as long to accomplish a little chore but it was so cute to see how involved she wanted to be and the smile on her face when we were finished was priceless! Do you think she'll feel the same way when I try to get her to clean the bathrooms?!?

Olivia's 1st Blog Video

video

Within the last couple weeks, Olivia has been making some pretty adorable noises. It all started off when she was laying in her cradle kicking her feet and waving her arms around like crazy and then all of a sudden she screeched. The look on her face was so cute and she actually scared herself in the process. Here she is making some other cute sounds! Enjoy!!!

How many chins do you see?



Olivia just had her 8 week appt last week and was so good for the doctor. She weighs 11 lbs and is 24 inches long - what can I say, the girl loves to eat! It was also time for her first vaccine and it was the first time we heard that little cry of pain. Actually, there was nothing little about it - she has got a set of lungs on her! She calmed down as soon as mommy and daddy held her a bit and she knew she was away from the nurse. And after her big sister said "It's ok Olivia." So cute!
