Iggs goes to the Zoo for the first time!!

We all went to the zoo today and Sosi loved it! Her favorite part was the man playing guitar/harmonica (she danced for him for about 4 songs), and watching the pigeons on the grass (not a zoo exhibit either). She was quite the flirt stealing a little 2yr old boy’s blankie and giggling. I think her daddy may be in for some trouble down the road ;). See below for full album. Oh before the zoo we went for a walk in the hood and this little kitty just walked right up to us and started rolling around and rubbing up on our legs. Too bad charles isnt kitty friendly or we may have had another addition to the family.

Sosi’s first trip to the lake

We  had an AHH-MAZING day today! Sosi was just hilarious and such a busy body all day. We ran some errands, went to the lake, came home – bbq’d, and went for a walk. I really couldn’t imagine a better day. The little diva will only hold one hand while she walks, and now directs us as to where she wants to go. She is walking so sturdy that she is stopping to touch flowers and check things out. Ugh we are so proud sosi! You must have finally conked yourself out because you went to sleep by 8:30 and just zonked. Go Iggy Go!!!! Here is a slideshow from the day. Ohhh, and she ate her very first whole plum, and when I say whole, I mean WHOLE plum. She ate it down to the pit. Piggy.

My little loves

Sosi had an awful night sleep. We’re not sure what it is but we’re going with teething since that usually seems to be the case. Anyway, this morning she woke up at 5am and since I was up with her all night, her awesome daddy got up and let me sleep a little bit more. I came out of the bedroom at 7am to find Elmo on the TV and my little loves like this…heaven.

Daddy’s 2nd Father’s Day!

We celebrated Daddy’s 2nd Father’s day with a bunch of outdoor fun! It was super hot and humid but the little turnip toughed it out and basically stayed out all afternoon. In the morning we let daddy sleep an extra two hours (this was one of his favorite parts of the day), and then we all hopped in the car and went over to a new park we heard about in Bucktown. Sosi had her first experience on the baby swing, and apparently she prefers sitting in the dirt and picking up rocks. Then we all went to Baskin Robbins and she had her very first taste of ice cream (cookies & cream, and peanutbutter cup to be exact), this she was def. a fan of! Aside from that, we spent the day sitting on the sidewalk picking up rocks, watching bugs, and putting our fingers in the dirt (is this my daughter?). It was a perfect day for a perfect father! We love you so much. You are our rock. Thank you for being the most amazing daddy for our little foofa. She is one lucky girl, as am I. XOXOXOXO. Slideshow from the day is below, along with a few extra pics from the past two days. Ahh!! I almost forgot! Soph took her first few steps from the side table to the couch. She then poked charlie in the eye and sat back down. Bahahaha- go Sosi go!!
