I am trying to enjoy the silence.

It has only been forty five min since Sophia has left and I feel my heart aching. I miss her. Earlier in the week Diana asked me if I wanted to take a day trip down the shore with the kids and as much as I wanted to I knew I couldn't take off of work especially with Sophias birthday a couple days away. I was bummed, but I knew this wasn't going to be the only day. So last night while talking to diana on the phone she had asked if she could take Sophia for the day so that I could just relax and then go to work and not have to worry about a babysitter. I had to think about it for a min so about ten min later I gave her the okay! Ater hanging up the phone with her I got really excited and then...sad! Sophia woke up early today I think she was excited to be hanging out with dom all day! After doing our normal morning routine I asked her to pick some toys out and put them in her little ducky bag that she was going to bring with her. It was so cute watching her do exactly what I had asked. We then got a whole bunch of food and snacks together and got dressed and picked out some "just incase" clothes. Diana had called and said she was planning on leaving an hour earlier now. They arrived about 9:30 the kids were excited to finally see eachother since both of us kept telling them about today! After going through the what I packed in the bag and what to dos if... it was time for them to leave. I gave my kisses and my I loves and watched them pull away with tears in my eyes. I came into the house and cleaned up her toys and called diana to find out what she was doing! Dianas response: DRINKING from her cup! I was happy! glad to hear she wasn't crying! I then again went through her bottle/nap routine, I had to stop myself because I would of kept rambling on and on! Diana knows what to do; we'll all be fine!
Lately Sophia has been venturing out! My uncle rich has watched her a couple of times do our work schedules and my friend kathy and bella from work took her out for a couple hours because I thought I had work, but come to find out I didn't so instead of them dropping her off back at home she stayed out with them. From the sounds of it she really enjoyed her self. So everytime I have been away from her has only been for a couple of hours. Today will be the longest time apart and that is why my heart aches. Okay so let me stop moping and fill you in with some news. Sophia has been taking a few steps here and a few steps there nothing more then 6 untill wednesday night/thursday morning! Since my parents house she has been walking soo much more now although she still crawls most of the time she will walk over to her toys or to me or whomever. it is amazing watching her she concentrates so much on walking it is too cute. I can not believe she will be one on sunday. WOW! she is still eating everything and anything. always wanting to try new things! the doctor said this should be her last month on formula we go to her one year visit next thursday.
well, i guess i will go check my facebook/comcast emails out and then ....relax?!?! I feel like I should be doing something productive, but I am kinda!

walmart,target,mc donalds 7/09/10

Diana and I left the house around 10 finished around 2 and only went to 3 places=walmart,target,mc donalds! We had soo much fun they are too cute together anytime one of them does or says something the other will stare and have this blank look on their face. Sophia put her arm out and knocked something down and then mins later dom did the same thing. While we were at mc donalds Sophia started acting up so I gave her a straw...That was the best thing it kept them both in a good mood! before we left I made sure I grabbed a hand full of them then we headed over to target and cleared them out of their straws too!

I always looked at those carts that they have and could never imagine myself pushing them huge things around, but it wasn't really that bad. Okay yes it was they are "HUGE" Diana and I aren't the best pushers especially when we had to turn! it really does take two people to move that thing around, but the kids loved it. At both stores if anybody needed to find us it was never a prob because they left cheerio trails! At first they were eatting them and then they liked to drop it and watch it fall to the ground.

Sophia @ Doms home! 7/09/10

That day Diana and I took Sophia and Dom out shopping! (those pictures will be on the next post) Diana invited Sophia to join Dom to a birthday party later on that night so we went shopping for a gift. After shopping I had to go to work so Di just kept Sophia for the rest of the day till after the party was done. When they left they went back to "Doms home" ( thats what I tell Sophia) That was one of the first times I left sophia. When I saw them pull away well no I am lying it was actually when they were dropping me off is when the tears started! I was nervous but it wasn't a bad nervous I was just nervous that since Sophia had been sleeping when I was dropped off that when she would wake up I would not be there. :-( Thank goodness for dom. Diana said he really cheered her up and showed her all of his toys,his big bear, and even how to open his drawers! After playing there for a bit they went over to my aunt and uncles and played, ate and took a long nap, and then it was party time! Diana said at first they both were silent but then they warmed up and had a really good time. I actually got home from work before Sophia got dropped off from the party which was after 9pm!

so big so fast

today is sophias 11 month birthday i can not believe she will be one next month! the time flew by so fast!

So much to do so little time!

From the time we get up in the morning I am on the go! of course it really all depends on if I have work or not that day. So that is why I have not updated in fooorevveeerrr! Sophia has been growing up sooo fast! She now has four teeth!three on the bottom and one on the top. I see another tooth on the top ready to pop out! Her bottom teeth didn't bother her as much as the top did/do! we actually had to give her baby tylenol! other then her teeth lets see she is the best crawler around town! she can beat out any kid in a crawling race! she walks around the sofa like its her job and is starting to stand like a pro! Her diapers are a big help with the padding when she looses her balance! eatting well thats not a prob! she eats anything and everything! honestly anything! she loves going on her million walks a day and feeding all the duckies and their babies! she makes loud sounds when she sees the doggies walking down the street! I am always comparing them to tori! now that the weather has been sooo hot she tends to only wear her bathing suit! she loves to splash around in the pool. climbing in and out in and out! oh yea and she LOVES crawling on the concrete! i know!! you would think it would hurt but she moves pretty darn fast on it!

Last month was johnny and jennas wedding! it was soo much fun , but the only sad part was that joe had to stay home and watch sophia:-( we didn't have a babysitter... wish he could have been there. the wedding was so pretty! i talked about it for days especially about the cookies and milk and allll those yummy cheese burgers from mc donalds at the end of the recep waititng for all of our drunk butts to leave! Grandmom had the best idea by renting us a limo for the ride up there and back! it was so loud going there but no coming back! well kinda!

last wednesday di and i went up to corinnes to with dom and soph to play with char and liv! it was soooo much fun! i can not wait to play again! i thought it was going to take awhile to get there but it wasn't that bad got stuck in a little traffic but the kids were good in the back seat! liv pushed soph around in her little doll stroller! remindng us that she was her mom and that she was born july 3 and she was 2 but then five min latter she told us she was now 3! dom was such a little boy too cute watching the girls play. he got a boo boo on his eye because they beat him up! nah he missed the step. :-( he got soph back by shutting her inbetween the doors but then soph did it right back to him! Corinnes made us these awesome drinks from the] blender made out of srawberries,cucmber, banana,spinach and kale! it was really good i was shocked i actually couldn't get the straw out of sophia mouth she loved it! I could just go on and on about our day i can not wait to do it again. liv asked if we could come over everyday! i told her we would come back soon and she said okay how about next week!

well, i better get going sophia is taking her morning nap and i want to get somethings done before she wakes up. i have off today so our day is full!
