So we have been super busy since I updated. Aria is now here and we are having lots of fun with her in our family. Sophia LOVES her, she tries to hug and kiss her all the time and she really wants her to play. She will put crayons in her hands and try to get her to color or move her arms to do song actions. Aria is such a good baby, she was sleeping 6 hours at night from the day she came home from the hospital. She is now 2 months old and is smiling and cooing. She is growing so much faster than Sophia did which is nice since she fits into Sophia clothes from last summer.
Sophia has changed so much is the last 2 months she doesn't seem like a baby any more she is a little girl. She loves to dance, color, play with her baby and stroller, purses, and jewelry. She LOVES being outside I can't get her to come inside once she is out there. She is finally talking and is much nicer than having her scream at us! She says open, open, open, please, when she wants something it is too cute.
We are still loving Virginia even is the summer heat and humidity. I will take that over cold any day. We are in the process of building a house so that is keeping us busy. Pictures of that will follow soon. We haven't broke ground yet but we are so excited to get it done.

Adventures in Traveling

Last month me a Sophia headed to Rexburg to see the family. We had a fun adventure. The first six days we had lots of fun playing in the hot tub, getting cupcakes, visiting great grandma, and playing with grandmas fun toys. Then the 7th day Sophia got sick, really really sick. She ended up in the hospital with RSV, Phenomena and an ear infection. her oxygen was really low. I felt so bad she was so sick and couldn't tell me she feels like crap. I did feel better having her in the hospital so they could monitor her oxygen. After 4 days we were finally able to go home, we did miss the day we were sapose to fly home and ended up staying and extra 4 days in Rexburg. It was nice though to have a some extra days to spend time with the family to make up for the days Sophia was in the hospital.

I am now 33 weeks pregnant and can't wait to be done. With Sophia I was so swollen and gained way to much weight. This pregnancy is going much better. I am not swollen at all I can still wear my wedding ring and am right on track with my weight gain. I feel really good and am super excited to have a new little nugget in the family.
We are loving it here in Virginia the weather is awesome and there is sooo much to do. We just hop on the metro and up to DC. There is so much history here I am excited to share it with my kids when they are old enough.

If you tell her to say cheese this is the face you get. This is her St Patrick's day outfit. She didn't actually get to wear it on St Patrick's day though since she was in the hospital.

She loved wearing her grandmas neckless she wore this one the entire day.

Yummm, cupcakes.

Riding the train at the mall

Sophia loved this doll house, she keep trying to climb up the stairs and would take the bed and dinning room chairs out and try and sit on them.

This is the day she went into the hospital she was so tired

In the Hospital

This picture got out of order, but Sophia loved the cupcakes.

This is the day before we were able to go home, she was starting to feel a lot better.

Playing with Great Grandma

My sister in law made this for me, it is baby socks made to look like sushi, I LOVE sushi. I though this was so cute.

One of the malls out here has these cute little chairs for kids to sit in, Sophia was loving it

She loved eating ice chips. She did cut 2 Teeth while she was in the hospital.

Playing with sidewalk chalk. I love that is warm enough here for her to wear shorts!

Dave getting home from work.

Dave took her into Nursery last week while I was teaching primary. She loved it. Hopefully when she is old enough to go in on her own she still likes it.

Eating sushi, We just get her avocado rolls, I could eat sushi everyday. We still haven't found a place out here that is as good as Tsunami in Utah, but we have been trying lots of different places and I have enjoyed the search, yumm.

Sophia 1st Birthday

My baby girl is officially one. I can't believe it has been a whole year. Sophia is walking all over she started walking about a month ago and is starting to get really brave and walk longer distances, she is working on standing up on her own. She has gotten 4 teeth in the last couple of months and her cheeks are still chubby as ever. She loves books and her toys but has her dads temper when things don't go the way she wants them to. We finally got a forward facing car seat for her and she likes it so much better. We go to the doctor on Thursday to get her official stats but she is just a petite little girl. Over all she is a happy girl.
We are getting adjusted to life in Virgina. So far is has been fun. There is lots to do I can't wait for summer when we can really get out and go sight seeing. It hasn't been to cold and when it does snow everything shuts down. They canceled our church for snow that was maybe an 1/8 of an inch. We have a really fun ward, most of them are military so they are all use to being in new places and make friends easily.
Durning our move out here I found out i was pregnant again. I am due June 4th. We find out what we are having on Monday and are getting excited to add one more to our family.

She got this cute table and chair for her birthday. She is always pulling Dave's laptop over to her to put her sippy cup on. Now she can put it on her table.

There is a cupcake under there wrapper and everything.
