Our family gets 2 feet bigger


We have added onto our family by 2 feet recently. They are the cutest little feet you ever did see. They belong to our little Sofia Elizabeth born Friday July 10th at 12:30 pm. She arrived weighing 8 lbs 5 oz and was 21 inches long. Sofia is just a little bundle of love. The 3 of us have not stopped kissing and hugging her since she joined our family. Nicky is very fond of her so far. He calls her "baby girl" and talks to her alot. She is a good baby, eats, sleeps and poops with very minimal crying...a Mommy's dream. And she's just stinking cute if I do say so myself. Sofia will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and has already been trying to hold up her own head. She doesn't have the neck strength to hold her head still yet so it bobs around quite a bit, but she is trying so hard to pick it up and look around if she's on her tummy. Here 1s a pic of her with her eyes open as most of the family has only been able to catch her when she's sleeping. Our sweet baby girl.....

Daddy and Nicky get in shape!












Daddy decided to get in shape this summer by digging out his old mountain bike. Nicky thinks this is super cool, especially since he recently learned how to pedal his tricycle. "Daddy has a BIG bike" and now it is a Daddy bike. Gone are the days of mountain biking through the woods with his buddies, Daddy's bike now has a Kick stand and a newly aquired cart that hooks on the back so that Nicky can ride along. Nicky got this cool new helmet with red flames on the sides and a hot wheels car. He thinks he's the cats pajamas and just loves going for rides with daddy. Daddy, I'm told, can pedal really fast! They started on a 4 mile treck around the neighborhood and plan to build up from there.
