March and April

Here I go again, slacking off on my own blog because “life” tends to get busy. As much and I’d love to sit back and relax and think of how clever and interesting my blog will be, I have to work full time at work and full time at home. For those that don’t know what it’s like to be a parent, it’s basically full time. When you were use to coming home and doing your own thing, you have to be as energetic as your were at 9 am for work! in essence, you have to be in full work mode 16 hours a day. There’s no doubt that I get stressed out because either i’m tired from work or Sofia is being fussy, or Aaron is busy with computer work at home. Regardless of these situations, I still wouldn’t have it any other way. One ends up learning how much they can handle and analyze what kinds of stress they encounter. Before Sofia, my stress was sickening and it was mostly from my job. Now, it’s a stress from being a mom, having a home, thinking about her while she’s in daycare. Things like that.

I am sitting outside my front porch enjoying the wind and believe it or not the humidity! Since my move with my family to Georgia, I suffer from allergies. The pollen is ridiculous here and basically half of the population suffers from it. Aaron and I have noticed that I get my allergy colds when it gets cold. This past week the weather dropped from high 70s to 40s at night. I’m pretty sure that drastic change caused my cold like symptoms along with the pollen in the air to happen. So, for a chance, I sit outside and i don’t cough, I don’t sneeze, I don’t have itchy watery eyes because the weather is warmer and the humidity is higher. Kind of reminds me of Florida! We also noticed that since it’s usually a more dryer state, the house inside stays dry too. For me with allergy season, it sucks. We use a humidifer in the room to keep me from coughing and snoring! (i apparently snore like a monster too.)

Enough about me! On to more important things like Sofia! She has been absolutely amazing. She has expanded her vocabulary tremendously and can articulate many of her words very well. We do tend to focus on the English language but i still throw some Spanish words here and there.  For example, amo is love. Hola is hello. Agua is water. She can say some of her numbers in Spanish as well. It’s basic stuff for now but as she gets older she’ll be introduced to it more. My parents speak to her in Spanish over the phone so that helps her in understanding. She understands when we ask her to do certain things like putting the garbage away and putting her binky on the table. Her new thing is wanting a tissue and pretending to blow her nose. It’s very cute. Since she was young, she never complains about going to sleep. She will sometimes but within 10 minutes she’s passed out in her crib. She will also let you know when she’s tired. You’ll see her rubbing her eyes and grabbing her “blankey”.  She sleeps thru the whole night and has become this super happy always smiling baby!

I have a few pictures but will put more once I get behind Aaron’s computer. Until next time.

More pictures to come.
