Happy 13 Months, V!

V turned 13 months today!

She has figured out how to "rock" in her rocking chair.

She was so happy!

Sisters.

Her favorite mode of transportation lately.

As of today, her vocabulary includes:
 Mah = more (or milk, depending on what she's going for)
 Mama = Mommy
 Dada = Daddy (though she doesn't say this one much when Daddy's around)
She's also trying hard to say "Bye" and "Hey". She's also imitating other sounds and syllable patterns. It's quite cute.
She has also finally started to wave at people... sometimes.

The Aftermath

A couple weeks ago, Sofia played in the backyard by herself for quite a while. 

This is what was left in the aftermath.

Yes, she "planted" her flower sprinkler head.

Little Miss Princess

Sia's Spring Ballet Recital

Sofia's spring ballet recital was Princess themed. 

Getting ready.

 V had been sick so Grandma had to stay a distance away.

She practiced her curtsy for weeks beforehand.

Aunt Cori and Lila were able to make it too!

V at 1 Year

So, I tried to get pictures of V in her chair on 3 different occasions. This is as good as it got.

At her 1 year appointment, these were her stats...
Weight: 18 lb 12 oz (10-25th percentile)
Height: 30.5 inches (95th percentile)
Head: 17.3 inches (25th percentile)

I believe she's underweight because she spent most of the last 2 weeks sick and not eating much. She had an ear infection that ruptured at the same time she had a week long fever from hand, foot and mouth disease. When she finally got over all of that it was time for her 1 year shots at her appointment. Poor thing.

V

Vivian loves to stick out her bottom lip. 

She's so stinkin' cute!

Sofia's First Bowling

Sofia attended a birthday party at Main Event and go to go bowling for the first time. 

The first half of the game she used the ramp but after that she was a pro and ditched it.

 Not bad!

She also got to try her hand at Skee-Ball and racing...

Sleeping Beauties

I haven't posted pictures of the Sleeping Beauties lately...

Happy Easter!

Sofia loved her first try at coloring hard boiled eggs.

Easter morning egg hunting...

 The Easter Bunny even made a stop at Aunt Cori's house!

The little girls even got some egg-hunting action in the living room...

Aunt Cori even planned an art activity. Here are Sofia's eggs!

Grandma's Head Shaving Party

Grandma's chemo has caused her hair to start falling out so all of the Granddaughters came over for a Head Shaving Party on Friday afternoon.

Taking turns

Even V got in on the action... sort of

Egg Hunt #2

At my work, National Honor Society held their 6th annual Egg Hunt for staff. Sofia did much better than at our neighborhood hunt and Vivian even got a few eggs.

Looking for a shaky egg

There are still eggs out there!
