One Year Check-Up

Sola had a great time at her 1st birthday party even though she didn't get any sleep (nor did Mommy) the night before. The tooth fairy delivered some teeth for her birthday. I don't know how happy she was about that. She had her one year check-up yesterday. She is a little over 23 pounds and 32 inches tall! She appears to be a very healthy little (or not so little) girl. She banged her head on the corner of the dryer and then hit her head on the floor yesterday before she got 3 new shots, so needless to say yesterday was rough! But, we can give her whole milk and stop buying formula- yay! We can also turn her carseat around so that hopefully she will like riding in the car a little more.

1st Birthday Party

Saturday, we had a fun little get-together with family and friends for Sola's 1st B-day. Thanks everyone for coming and for the great gifts. You made the party a blast.

Hide and Go Seek

I found Sola in the closet in her old carseat pulling down her clothes. She loved hiding in the hamper until she fell over. Ut oh!

Pitter Patter

I love the "ba....ball?" detour.

A Sweet Pot

I thought these poker chips would be a good way to start trying to teach her colors. I would separate them into piles by colors and name the color as I drew her attention to each pile. Of course, all she wanted to do was splash around in them like water and knock them down as I stacked them up... and of course put them in her mouth. Oh well.

Easter Pictures

Nana bought all of the cousins adorable matching Easter outfits. Sola, Sawyer, Zachary and Abby were cooperative at totally different times. It was hilarious trying to get 4 babies to sit still and look at the camera. Needless to say it didn't happen!

Tubby Time

On Her Feet

It seems like Sola has been minutes away from walking for about a week now. Right now, she's standing next to my chair with a fierce determination to put her hands on my macbook. (She has a thing for gadgets, it seems.) We'll probably turn around one day and see her strolling across the living room floor with complete indifference. Like nothing has changed. Like she always could walk - just never decided to until today.

Uncle Derek came to visit from Colorado. We want to go visit him soon!
