Sofia, playing in the neighbor's driveway the day after Christmas, shows off her jumping skills and spontaneously repeats a phrase we tell her often, that she's a joy!

Moments of General Cuteness - December Edition
Christmas and Sofia's birthday are quickly approaching and my camera was storing a few precious moments that I wanted to share before they get buried beneath photos of family, presents, fun and a certain little TWO YEAR OLD! So in these final four days in our one year old's life here are some moments of general cuteness from December.
Baby Jesus Meets Santa Claus
Ever since we broke out Sofia's Little People Nativity Set there haven't been many breakfasts without baby Jesus. The other morning Sofia looked over and noticed the Santa and Mrs. Claus salt & pepper shakers from my youth which I have now inherited. She motioned to them and asked for "wintah claus."
And so goes the story of Religious Icon meets Commercial Icon. They got along very well. Sofia even shared her waffle with them all, all the while making her pretend smacking sounds. It never gets old. She's so cute!
The other morning she had Santa Claus and Mary clutched in each of her hands facing one another and as I'm making them all some breakfast I hear (in what must be Mary's voice),
Snack Time with Monkey
Sofia woke up a little grouchy (and with a case of bed head) the other day and to get her out of her funk we invited her Sock Monkey to have a snack with her. She loved it! Notice her posed smile. Depending on her mood she'll smile on command now.
Here's the view from Sofia's eyes,
Sock Monkey's eyes,
and the view from Mommy's eyes.
Sleeping Beauty
Sofia's a big girl these days.
Proof:
1. She sleeps with a pillow.
2. She sleeps with a big blanket.
3. She sleeps with her "Buddy Waddit" blanket.
4. She sleeps with her Baa (stuffed sheep.)
5. She sleeps with her baby doll.
But the most noticeable proof is in this photo.
6. She sleeps with her belly out.
In all fairness she has way outgrown these pjs (and Daddy dressed her!)
Sofia's Puppy
Last night Sofia wanted to take Jax for a walk and we, well, didn't. So I grabbed a leash and put it on her favorite "doggie." She loved dragging him around the house. So when Dan was feeding Jax he let Sofia "feed" her doggie some real dog food in a little plastic dish.
It was a great idea and so cute until ...
don't worry I was able to stop it before being chewed up and swallowed. But she keeps teasing me with it and trying to eat it. But I'm sure at some point, when I'm not watching she will eat dog food. That's her own lesson to learn!

"Hello "wintah" Claus. How ah you "wintah" Claus?"I almost fell over with laughter. She's so polite that Mary! I love hearing Sofia engage with her toys and act out characters. She's so much fun to watch and is always keeping us laughing.

Trip to Dallas, December 4 - 6
In May of 2007, Mom's death happened so quickly and came as such a shock to us all that after her cremation we had a lot of questions regarding where she would be kept. We finally, as a family, decided she would stay in Colleyville where she very happily spent the last 23 years of her short 62 years. We chose to put her ashes in the foot of a beautiful granite bench at Bluebonnet Hills Memorial Park. The bench is next to a tree and faces a serene man-made lake and fountain. There is space in the other foot of the bench for when the inevitable day comes and Papi will join her there.
So on Friday, December 4th, 2009 our immediate family got together to remember Mom and bless her ashes as we placed them in the bench.
Dan's dad, our family Deacon, was kind enough to come from Houston and say a few words. It was short and sweet and a nice day to remember Mom as a group, rather than singularly as I know we all do. I remember he talked of her being enveloped in peace and that thought warms my heart...
It was also a great trip because we finally got to see Papi! He moved to Miami some months ago and we miss him greatly. Unfortunately Dan had been sick all the week before our trip so he stayed home to get better. Sofia got a kiss from Daddy goodbye early Friday morning
only to arrive in Dallas greeted with a kiss hello from Bobo!
Sofia had a lot of fun playing with Matthew and
Jakey had a lot of fun playing with Bobo.
Sofia and I stayed with Emi all weekend. It was so much fun! Emi was the cool aunt growing up and she seems to be keeping the title with the next generation. We met with David and Julie at a sports bar on Saturday night. It had great space for the kids to run around and play video games. Sofia really just climbed up and down from the chairs and pushed buttons but Matthew is getting so big and he's more than capable of playing the games and even made new friends.
Jake just sat in his carseat like the best behaved baby in the world and did what he does best: look adorable.
Matthew decided to come over to Emi's for a slumber party that night. I don't think I've ever seen Sofia so excited as she was when she realized that Matthew was coming home with us. They stayed up late and danced and laughed to Tom & Jerry cartoons. It is beyond fun to watch them together.
The next day we went by Dave and Tracey's house to pick up Grandma (who Sofia calls Grammy.) She was in town for Mom's memorial service and since John left early she hitched a ride home with us. It was great to get to see Sofia's Coussirat cousins, even if just for a short time. They are such beautiful girls as you can see.
Sofia was excited to have Grandma there to entertain her on the way home. She was especially happy to have Monkey (she says "monkey" so funny, it sounds like she's Jewish, like "mah-Kah-ney" it's funny) even though you can't really see him there in her hand he's there. She loves all of Grandma and Grandpa's stuffed animals. It is especially cute when she feeds them her food and makes little chewing noises for them!
So as you can see it was another fun-filled trip to Dallas! We love to see all our family.

Notes From the Field
When I got pregnant I signed up for weekly updates on how my baby was growing from a website called babycenter.com. After Sofia was born the updates kept coming about her growth and development. They were once titled, My Baby This Week.
I realized today that at some point in the past two years they've been renamed to My Toddler This Week. Today's subject line said,
Overheard in December
Some cute things of note that our girl has been saying lately...
She calls Santa Claus something that sounds like, "Winter Claus"
She calls snowman, "Coolman"
This morning she called Jax, "Jaxy-boy"
I realized today that at some point in the past two years they've been renamed to My Toddler This Week. Today's subject line said,
Your 23-month-old: Week 4I almost passed out. It's funny how life just keeps moving and before you know it you realize that you've passed many milestones and then a silly weekly email comes and slaps you in the face. Where did the time go? I cannot believe she'll be two next week. We are so happy with our little girl. And although at times we miss that little baby that Sofia once was we are so enjoying getting to know our little 23 months and 4 weeks old toddler.

Babysitting
My friend Lindsey needed someone to watch her sweet little boy, Isaiah, while she and her husband attended an annual Christmas party. We accepted the offer and quickly put him to work.
Ok, not really.
Sofia was beyond excited to see Isaiah at the house when we got home. They had so much fun playing, eating pizza, throwing balls, pretending to sweep with the brooms as seen above, and dancing. It was so fun to watch them together. I think one of the benefits of daycare has been how much she enjoys the company of other children. Especially when they're as cute as this kid.
I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into having two toddlers at once but it was a breeze! Isaiah was so good and the two of them shared toys well and got along great. Sofia loved giving him hugs,
and kisses,
and by the look on Isaiah's face he loved being the recipient. They're sooo cute!
They cuddled up in their pjs with some milk and a cartoon. And when it was time for bed we just laid him down and that was it. They're super easy little ones. Lindsey and I are both so lucky to have such great kids!

Happy Holidays from Jax
It's getting cold in Houston, so Jax put on his holiday scarf and wanted to wish you all a Happy Holiday!
Plus, he's been complaining that Sofia gets all the air time on the blog.

Seriously Cute
Grandma took this photo of Sofia modeling an Elmo "hat" during our long car drive from Dallas to Houston yesterday. I love her serious expression but then you move your gaze up and there's that silly little Elmo on her head. She's so funny, our girl!

Overheard
Sofia and I were cuddling on the couch before bed. She taps her tiny little finger on my nose and says, "Nose. Big nose."
I was thinking, Thanks a lot for saying I have a big nose, but instead I laughed and tapped her nose and asked, "Well, what's this?"
And she says, "Li-doo nose." (little nose)
For awhile now she's been noting when something is big. Like how she eats these mini waffles and we eat big waffles so she'll say, "big waffle." But that was the first time she's talked about something being little. And I'm just constantly surprised by how much she knows! She's talking more and more and I lose count of how many new phrases she says every day. I wish I could remember and cherish them all but time just keeps moving and before I know it I won't even remember a time when our sweet girl couldn't talk.

Decorating the Christmas Tree
Saturday night Sofia and I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We went to Mass at Saint Catherine's. The last time Sofia went to church with Grandma a woman complimented Sofia saying she had never in her life seen such a well-behaved child at church. I had to see for myself! And she really was very good. I've been using her as an excuse not to go to church so it seems as if I no longer have an excuse which is good because I've missed it!
The priest's homily talked about Advent and the quietness of spiritual preparations before Christmas. All I could think about was how I, as many others he pointed out, planned on putting up the Christmas tree the following day. Maybe next year we'll start the tradition of decorating the tree on Christmas Eve and using Advent for it's true purpose: to reflect back and to celebrate the anniversary of the Lord’s (and Sofia's) first coming into this world...
But this year the tree goes up early. Sofia helped me put lights on the tree. She really loved it! It was so fun to watch her.
Dan had to work, but Grandma was there to help. She brought Sofia an ornament and it was the first ornament on the tree. Sofia loves to help do things so she was having a ball.
Soon it was time for Sofia to take a nap and Grandma and I got to work; putting up ornaments, sharing stories of our favorite ornaments and memories of past Christmases and of family members and loved ones who are gone. It was a nice couple of hours and when we were done we had a beautiful tree full of memories and family ornaments.
We really missed Dan being there and I wanted him to be a part of it so I saved the tree topper for him to put on once he got home from work.
After Sofia's nap I couldn't wait for her to get her first look at the finished tree. I think she was as impressed as I'd hope for her to be. She pointed out all the animals and angels and stars and other things she could recognize. I'm hopeful all the ornaments won't be too tempting for her to pull off the tree but so far so good! I let her play with the special ornament Grandma brought and she loves taking it off and putting it on over and over again.
We also pulled out Sofia's Little People nativity set and she LOVED it! My mom loved nativity scenes. She collected them and I remember them being all over our house during Christmas growing up. When Matthew was a baby she found out that Fisher Price made a Little People version of it and she was so excited to get it for him. Julie remembered how meaningful that was for Mom and last Christmas gave Sofia her own to play with. It was such a thoughtful and kind gift and I was so excited to set it up for her this Christmas.
Grandma helped set it up with her and Sofia had so much fun with it. She knows which one is "baby Sheejush" (Jesus, of course) and Mary and the animals and loves to push the angel down so it will sing Away in a Manger.
It was so much fun. And the next morning she insisted on bringing baby Jesus to breakfast.
She told me "baby Sheejush seepee" and then put her adorable, tiny little finger to her mouth and shushed me.
She cracks me up! We love her so much and we are so excited to share the Christmas season with her creating so many memories and creating our own traditions.

Thanksgiving 2009
We spent Thanksgiving this year at Tio Louis' house in Austin with Emi, David, Julie, Emily and Jeff. We really missed Papi but he needed to stay in Miami. He has a lot of work being done on his new condo which we can't wait to see and we'll see him again soon. I can't believe I forgot my camera but Dan took some cute pics with his iPhone.
The food was amazing and the kids were adorable. Sofia is still a little shy and takes a bit to warm up to her aunts and uncles but she LOVES hanging out with her cousins. She calls Jake "Jickey-Wickey,"
which is so adorable and loves to do anything Matthew does.
Sofia even tried on her little Indian costume she made at daycare.
I am so thankful for all of my family and hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love, Dan and Angie

November 2009
This month has flown! It feels like just yesterday we were dressing up our little witch and here we are at the end of November. Honestly, some days it feels like just yesterday that we brought home our little newborn ... but it's been almost two years.
Two years ago she was still growing inside my belly, just one year ago she was discovering her world so slowly, pulling herself up and cruising along the couch and today she's running and laughing and counting (all by herself!) to 15!
She's discovering her world so quickly now. Everytime I turn around she's doing or saying something new... and I'm so proud of her.
This morning after buckling my girl in the car, right before closing the car door, she says to me, "Bye bye, Mommy. Be good." Ha! That's what we say to Jax every morning before we leave.
When her daddy comes home she runs to the door and squeals, "Daddy hee-ew!"
She looks at photos of our closest family members and calls them by name. And when I mention to her today that we're going out of town tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family, after I name off everyone who will be there and realizing that I didn't name off any of her grandparents, little Sofia pauses, and asks, "Bo-boooh? Ma-mah, Pah-pah?" She knows her family. And she knows they love her.
As the pumpkin bread (the one Mom used to make every year) bakes in the oven I sit here and I am thankful!
.... .... .... .... ....
Here are some of the latest happenings...
Training
I am so lucky because it seems our little girl loves housekeeping! She loves to help Dan put away the dishes. She loves to help me do laundry.
And ever since her gig as a witch she loves her "oom." Actually she prefers our broom, the big one.
It's sweet to have her help. It usually means things don't get done as quickly or perfectly but hopefully the investment will pay off in the end. I could have her cleaning this whole house by age 5... ya think?
Coloring
One of Sofia's most favorite pastimes these days. It keeps her busy at restaurants. I love to see that concentration in her face.
IKEA with Isaiah
My friend Lindsey and I took the kids to IKEA to do a little shopping. It's actually a great place to bring the kids. The kids section is full of toys and furniture for them to play on and climb all over. We got there before they opened but they let us anyway and the kids had a blast just climbing on the couches and drumming on the coffee tables in the waiting area.
These two have a lot of fun together and so do the mommies! Isaiah's wearing the t-shirt we got him New York City ... isn't he a cutie?
I was able to buy Sofia some chairs of her own at IKEA. She sits at the same table that her Grandma used as a child and that her Dad and uncle used too. It's so neat to know that another generation is using that table to color and play on.
She was so excited about her new chairs that I brought them into the kitchen to let her eat breakfast like a big girl. And as you can see Jax looks excited too to be even closer to Sofia's food!
Beauty Queen
Tia Emily introduced Sofia to her makeup brushes on our last trip to Dallas. And the other night as I was putting on makeup Sofia peeked over my makeup drawer and asked, "Buh-sh?" So I let her play with one. She loves to rub it on her cheek, and her eyes, and her hair, and her neck, all while naming off each body part.
Then as Dan helped me clasp a necklace she looked up at me, "Neck-lush?" So I gave her one to play with. It was so cute to see my little girl, the same one who loves trucks and airplanes, be a little girlie.
