Sofia is dressed up and ready to go to church. She is showing daddy some little tricks she learned.

Sofia has decided that she’s had it with the crib. she hasn’t been sleeping in it for the last few weeks, bur prefers monmy’s bed instead.

so mommy and daddy got her a big girl bed and Sofia’s beyond excited about it. We will see tonight if she’ll sleep in it by herself or not …

Thursday was Sofia’s 18 month birthday. To celebrate, mommy took her to the mall to go on the merry-go-round. Here is she having loads of fun!

finally …

Today Sofia is wearing her first skirt ever. it’s still a little too big, but mama couldn’t help putting it on her ….

I haven’t posted here in a loping while so maybe it’s time to catch up on what’s been happening with us.

Sofia is enjoying Seattle tremendously, she loves all the outdoor stuff she gets to do.

Last weekend we all went to pike place market to buy beautiful flowers and to enjoy some amazing Russian pastries from Piroshki Piroshki. Sofia especially enjoyed running after the pigeons and trying to feed them.

After that, we went for a long walk in the Seattle Arboretum, which is like a huge public Botanical garden, full of amazing blooming trees and shrubs.

Then it was time to head on home and take a much deserved nap

Sofia is enjoying her new neighborhood. she likes running up and down the hill that is our cul-de-sac.

Enjoying a sunny spring day (in February), in our back yard.

We took uncle John to see Seattle today. Here’s us at Kerry Point, enjoying a beautiful view of Seattle.
