Gabby is 9 Months Old Today!

Monthly Collages - Gabby 8 mo / Sofia 30 mo

Weekend play and chill time

We spent a lot of time hanging out at home this weekend (it was raining and Sunday Nelson was running the marathon so the girls and I played at home until it he was closer to the finish) but we had fun! baths, lots of playroom time (Sofia loves this Dora microphone and was pretending to be a witch with Gabby's hat from Halloween), and Gabby is practicing her standing (see last pic!) She is also obsessed with her socks, well taking them off and eating them. I took a long walk pushing the girls in the double stroller - need to do that more often, they loved it and I got quite the workout, arms were sore!

Nelson Runs a Marathon!

Nelson ran the Santa Clarita marathon today! It took him longer than he wanted, but he finished. And even though it was naptime, we surprised him at the finish line. He looked pretty happy even though I think he was dying inside :)

Shopping with Sofia

Had to run to Babies R Us last night and Sofia LOVES to go to the store, any store. "Mama I go with you to store!" So of course we stopped at the coin operated rides on our way out.

Halloween Collages 2011

All of the costume fun - including a comparison pic of Sofia's 1st Halloween (2009) and Gabby's (2011) with all 4 Costumes!!

Baby Comparison Photo - Pumpkin Patch!

Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful Halloween! The girls dressed up for their daycare costume party/parade as Snow White & Minnie Mouse. Then for Trick or Treating Sofia was Ariel the Little Mermaid, and Gabby was a butterfly (we did dress Gabby up in her other 2 costumes just for the photo opp - Monkey and Witch -- will post the collages and baby photo compare with Sofia when we get them form Costco) Sofia has a blast trick or treating with her sister and cousin Claudia. Then she loved handing out candy - she was literally standing at our door yelling "come on everyone I got candy!" and she gave out handfuls at a time. She looked so cute in her red wig and crown! She did her cheesy smile all night long - hard to get a real smile out of her! Patty & Dustin stopped by to say hi. We all ate too much candy but luckily we got rid of most of it so it's out of the house. Fun day had by all.

What a Fun Weekend!

Besides pumpkin carving, we had a lot of other fun this weekend! Sofia went to gymnastics (and ironically sat down and read on the trampoline instead of jumping), we went to Sasha's party and Sofia enjoyed cupcakes with Lexie, wore her new Vader shirt to match Daddy, and tried on her Beatles dress that we got as a gift when she was a baby that finally fits. We also had a fun early birthday dinner for Nelson at Benihana with our friend Stu. Loving the quality of our new cell phone cameras - all of the below are from cell phones!
