Sophia is 4 months!!

Sophia turned four months last week, but her doctor pushed back all appts due to the swine flu, so we just went in for her four month check up today. She is at about the 60th percentile for weight coming in at 14pounds and 9ounces, and 90th for height...I forget what the height was exactly, but she wants to be tall like her cousin Kate. Alicia was always much smaller, closer to the 20th percentile. To give you an idea, Sophia is wearing the clothes that Alicia wore at 9 months. The doctor says that she looks perfect...her belly button hernia has been disappearing, she has excellent head control, she's happy as can be, and after almost two months her thrush cleared up last week.
Manny went to the doctor this week too, for an ear infection. This was interesting only because they had him on the scale and he is a whopping 88 lbs...let me remind you that he is only 7 1/2 months old!!
Today has been a little rough, at the moment we are pretending to be camping. Our water is shut off, because we disconnected the hot water heater, before we realized that Home Depot stops renting their trucks out at 7:30, so we had no way to get a new one here tonight, so we are without any water. Apparently times are tough for our next door neighbor as well...they have resorted to growing their own corn in their back yard!
Below are some random pictures from the last couple of weeks.
This is a shot of the little people at the zoo when we went last month. Overall, the show was pretty disappointing and we got scorched in the sun, but we had a good time together.
This is Sophia and I watching the little people show.
Alex is just relaxing with his son and daughter...is that strange?

Alicia loves her baby sister, but has a little trouble supporting her all by herself.



Alicia, Sophia and I went to Home Depot to pick up some ground cover over the weekend. Alex was putting in a few extra work hours. I had to wear Sophia in a front carrier and let Alicia ride on the flat cart. She looked like such a little cutie in the middle of all the flowers, and we were quite a site, me with the two of them and this massive cart of plants.



Alicia has a renewed interest in baby toys and insists on sharing everything that Sophia plays with.





Who knew that the toy pack and play could fit a real child?




She's all smiles most of the time!


Alicia loves to get all dressed up and drive around the house.
