Everyone is Sick

This past weekend we spent Sunday with Denny's family. It was a blast. We ate, swam, watched a movie, and whatnot. Denny's sister Melissa just so happened to be sick as all hell. Well Denny spent a good half hour or so in a room with her... lo and behold, he is now sick. Then he got Sophie sick, and now I am getting sick. Ah, how we all love germs. Sophie had a fever yesterday, but I loaded her up with Tylenol and her fever was gone by today. She is still a bit warm and fussy, but at least she isn't melting. I feel like my head is going to pop and confetti will fly everywhere. Denny has been laying in bed the past 2 days.
But on a happier note. I'm looking into babysitting. That's right. I will now have something to do during the day, and make money. Woo hoo! Everyone loves money. Well now that Sophie has crawled around and pulled out EVERY last toy that I just put away... I think I will try to get her to bed.

Girls Night

Last night Denny's mom invited Sophie and I over for a girls night. *woot* Who doesn't love a night away from men? :) So I packed up our swim suits and we headed over to Grandma Tina's. Melissa was supposed to be cooking us dinner that night... but she's a slacker. So we waited around for an hour or so while she made cupcakes and then we all put on our swim suits and headed for the pool. Being that it was the late evening already, the pool was pretty darn cold. We figured the hot tub would be nice to try then, but that was boiling hot, so we were pretty much screwed. We all eventually tip toed our way into the cold water. Sophie didn't seem to mind the temperature at all. She was having a pretty good time kicking and splashing the water with her hand... up until she got herself right in the face. Aunt Melissa just happened to be swimming over at that moment in time, so Sophie gave her the look of death. When we got back to the apartment we ordered Chinese food, because got knows Melissa never would have cooked. Then we popped in the movie "P.S. I Love You" which was amazing. Great chick flick, I loved it. So overall we had a pretty good night.

She Crawls!

That's right, my little ball of sunshine is now mobile! Over the past two weeks she has perfected her crawling and can now get just about anywhere she wants. -oh joy- I am going to be starting her on a sippy cup too, so we have all kinds of fun things going on.
When we went to Sophie's 9 month check up on the 28th (which was about a month too late) her doctor said she is doing great. Shes 37 inches long and 14 lbs 8.5 oz. She shot up in height, but she isn't gaining too much wait, and her head isn't growing all that fast either. So I need to plump her up. :)
By the way, there is a link to all the videos I put up at the bottom of the page.

Home Sweet Home

We got a flight back to Utah for around noon on Wednesday. Tuesday Isaak got really sick at about 5 in the morning and was throwing up for hours. Needless to say, I kicked his butt out of the bed and made him sleep on the couch so he wouldn't get me or Sophie sick... this was all in vain. Around 11 that night it hit me too. My stomach felt like it wanted to pop out of my throat. I was miserable all night long and got maybe 2 or 3 hours of sleep. Since Sophie is in a phase right now where I can't even leave the room without her screaming, I couldn't pawn her off on anyone else. -sigh- So I forced myself to get up and pack, by the time we were headed to the airport I felt much better.
Oh I forgot to mention on this trip Isaak decided he wanted to get his ear pierced... HA! Now being the dumb boy he is, he asked my dad about it first. As you can all guess, dad said NO. Isaak did it anyway, so we are just waiting until dad tells him to take it out.
I picked up Sophie's pictures from JCPenny's yesterday so I'll scan those today and put them up on here. Then when I get around to it I'll mail out those to my favorite people. :P

Tahoe and Such

Sophie and I are out visiting my mom again in Tahoe. This time Isaak came with us. There isn't all that much to do out here... being as we are in the mountains, but its still nice. We went to the lake (which was freezing cold) and the water was so beautiful and clear. For the most part we just spend time here with mom and Manuel, and my cousins that live nextdoor.

I'm getting my belly button pierced today... its going to hurt like hell, but I still want it done. I'm crazy, I know. Denny has a big geek thing down in Salt Lake City for the next 3 days with vidoe games and such, so he should be having a blast.

Sophie is doing great, she has her 6 month check up on the 28th, so I'll let you know how shes doing then. She is a very busy little girl, always trying to grab things or crawl away when you aren't looking. She can't really "crawl" yet, but she sure can scoot her way across a room in a few seconds. She is very much a flirt. Always smiling and giggling at the boys. Just yesterday she started sticking her tongue out and blowing raspberries. Its just the cutest thing in the world.

Last thursday my mom took us to get pictures done for Sophie at the JCPenny in Riverdale. I highly recomment them, even with Sophie screaming the whole time, they still managed to get some great pictures. They should be in on the 22nd, and we made sure to get extras to send to family. (but I'm selfish so most are mine, muhaha!) :D

By the way, I'm thinking of having Sophie's birthday party in Mexico since we are planning be down there anyway for Christmas. Sounds like fun ey?
