Well Sophie and I both came down with a cold and like usual Sophie kicked it in about 1/2 the time it took me. Anyway, she woke up feeling much better so we decided to go get some fresh air and soak in some sun at good ole White Post Farms.

Today was Sophie’s first time visiting the NYC. We took the 7:12am train from Huntington and arrived in NYC around 8:40am; Sophie and I headed over to BaBa’s apartment and Daddy went to a meeting. Once Baba opened the door, Sophie fell asleep and slept our entire visit! Unfortunately Baba didnt get to play with Sophie but we got to catch up and eat some breakfast in peace.

After breakfast he dropped us off at Central Park and Sophie woke up while we were waiting for Kiki (formerly known as BeBe Monka) to come meet us. The three of us headed into the Central Park Zoo and Sophie had a blast. She wanted Kiki to go everywhere with her and carry her all around. Fantastic for me, maybe not so much for Kiki’s arms but we all had a great time. We finished it off with some smoothies and a cookie and then headed off to meet up with Nana for some lunch.

Lunch was yummy and relaxing and Sophie switched from Kiki’s lap to Nana’s lap to finally her own highchair. We all ate and Daddy came to meet us- hooray! Where to go after a nice balanced lunch…Dylan’s Candy Bar of course! Sophie landed herself a big fat vanilla ice cream cone (naturally).

The day was wrapped up at FAO Schwarz where Sophie fake slept on some stuffed puppies, played with trains, and was boderline meltdown when she found out she couldnt strip naked and jump in the fountain outside. Luckily we left the city meltdown free and she slept the whole train ride home.

It was a fun filled, jam packed day of busy NYCness. Lil tater was a trooper and loved hanging with her Nana and Kiki. Below are some pics. Obvi full NYC album will follow when we return to Santa T!

Well we got in late Saturday night and are still about 3 hours behind schedule on Monday. Sophie just woke up at 12pm today and hopefully we’ll get back on schedule.

Yesterday she got to play with Papa and Kiki and after her usual “pretend sleep initiation” she was all over the two of them and putting on her Sophie show. She cried when Papa left and then fell asleep on Kiki. After she woke up she met Laura and Rob and put on her show all over again. She fed them cookies from her mouth and ran up and hugged both of them over and over. She is such a little lovebug.

Today we are all still in bed at 1:30pm and Sophie and I are battling a bit of a cold. Hopefully this rest does us all well and we’ll be ready to take on NY tomorrow in full force! We have movies, pizza and ice cream with Papa on the agenda!

Sophie is now 2 years and 3 months and today was the first day in her entire life that her daddy and mommy both went out and left her with someone. I know, crazy. Considering that someone was Nana, she didnt even seem to notice we were gone. We only went to walk a few blocks to pick up dinner but it was still monumental for our family. We came back and she didnt even flinch…in fact i dont even know if she lifted her head. Nugget was busy watching Toy Story 3 in bed with Nana. We got to take a walk without grabbing little hands, chasing little feet, or carrying a little body. It was short, sweet and like i said, a monumental day. Sooo Nana…you free next weekend? lol.

My laptop arrived, Nana arrived, all is great in San Fran! I am so glad to be up and running again and downloading my usual pics galore. Sophie is having a fantastic time and since about 1:30pm yesterday she has not left Nana alone. “Nana, where are you!”. “Nana, look!”. “Nana, up”…and so on and so forth. We climbed many of hills yesterday, went to three parks, played hide-n-seek and ate some pizza. Will got to come to one park and then was off to work but came back in time some really yummy pizza. It was a fun filled day and I had to force Sophie to go to sleep at 10:30pm.  Here are just a couple of pics from the past two days and obvi a full album will follow at the end of our travels.

Speaking of travels, Sophie was her usual rockstar self! We had to drive for an hour, take a ferry, and drive for another hour, only to then get on a 3 hour flight to Texas. Nugget was a champ and only really complained on the ferry when mid ride she decided she was done and started yelling “Bye Bye Wa-Wa. No, No, Momma, all done!”. Yes we heard that non stop for about 1/2 an hour until we could finally really say bye bye to the wa-wa. Once she got that out of her system it was a smooth flight and we arrived to a beautiful hotel in Texas and then got to meet Blake binns for a drink and dinner. We all slept solid through the night and then hopped on an early morning flight to San Fran. Sophie was absolutely perfect the entire flight. Not a single fuss. We arrived to the most amazing condo in San Fran and life has been great ever since.

Also to mention, there was a 6.7 earthquake in Costa Rica yesterday that apparently shook our whole house and broke a lamp. Betsy woke Danni up barking and he thought she wanted to go outside (betsy absolutely never barks) so he got up and two seconds later he said the entire house started shaking. So terrifying!! Luckily everyone is ok and ironically we were in San Fran while an earthquake happened in CR. Anyway, our town back home seems to have minimal damage and everyone is feeling blessed right about now.

Ok now on to some pictures. I’ll catch up more later, i feel like im all over the place at the moment- lol. Too much to say!
