Mellow New Year's Eve

Today I dropped Sofia at daycare and went and got my hair straightened (the permanent Japanese style straightening). It looks really good - hopefully it looks this good when I do it on a daily basis!


We had a mellow New Year's Eve at home, hung out with our girl and watched hockey/movies.

Visit to See Wyetts

Sofia and I went up to Nipomo for 2 days to visit the Wyetts. We had a great time, opened presents, and played a lot. Savanna and I went shopping and she got a cool new bathing suit. And Sofia slept fairly well in her pack & play away from home, which was a relief. Here are some of the best pics.

Love for Savanna & Bradley!

Christmas Dinner #2 / Sofia is 38 weeks old today!

Tonight we went to Dad & Sue's to have a belated Christmas dinner with them, Mary and Bob. We had a great time and we all got some great presents. Sofia was definitely interested in opening everyone's presents, even actually ripping into a few with her teeth.

Attacking the presents

In her Santa hat

With her new sleepers

She loved this pull toy - 3 little duckies and it quacks when you pull the string

Ha!

These tights are so cute, they have a pattern on the feet that makes it look like she is wearing shoes

Christmas Dinner

Tonight we went to Palmdale to see Mom, Auntie Marsha and Greggy and have dinner. Sofia had a great time opening her gifts, playing with her "Uncle" Riley (the dog), posing for pics and showing everyone her wave, her crawl and giving her Grandma a Sofi kiss.
I realized at the end of the day though, I didn't get a picture with Sofia on Christmas! Doh!

Hey it's a Ruff Ruff

I just love her funny faces

Christmas Morning

We had a lovely and mellow Christmas morning at home. Sofia was, not unexpectedly, just as interested in tissue paper as her actual presents :) Nelson's mom and niece also stopped by for a few minutes to see Sofia.

Time for presents!
