Thanksgiving week

I had the week off of work but I can't say I got much accomplished. I am more behind than ever. My hats off to those who can juggle a new baby, work, laundry, a tidy house and still have friends.

Some big news...Sofia has pierced ears! I couldn't hold off my sister, Mia, any longer. Sofia was more mad when it happened than anything else. I, of course, cried and cried. Some of my family and friends probably think I am horrible for letting my daughter's ears get pierced at such a young age. I could take offense but it is probably one of the few Asian things I do. Also, Christian is Venezuelan and they pierce ears when the baby girl is days old. So you can think bad things about me,but I think I did pretty well waiting till she was 5 months (according to the week calendar).
Sofia is also teething. Poor thing is fussy,fussy. I finally bought Baby Orajel. It helps her immediately. I was amazed the first time I used it. She was crying and fussing and I rubbed the dosage on her gum..Poof..no more crying.
This week Sofia also had her first stay the night visitors. My dear friends, Shy and Jonathan with their kiddies, came to visit. They were in Texas to visit Momo and Papa. I was able to see Shy, Jonathan and Oliver at night. It was my first time to meet Oliver. He is so cute and sweet. He never fussed! Sofia, on the other hand was showing him how to be a fussy baby.
Even though I did not get a lot accomplished I had a great week.


Our first Thanksgiving photo. Not a great picture but it is as good as it was going to get.

Been a long time

I haven't posted in a long time. I am going to try to do better about posting. I plan on working on my December daily this week. I hope to have it done for December 1st.
Sofia is growin and growing. Chewy has recently been fascinated with her hair. He comes up behind her and licks her head where her hair sticks straight up. It is kind of funny to watch. She always has a shocked look on her face with his first lick. He usually can only get two or three licks in before Christian and I are pushing him away. Check back later in the week for some other big things Sofia has done in November.
