Sofia Sings Old Mac Donald

Sabrina Talks and Sofia Babbles

Sabrina at 17 months can pretty much use 2 word sentences. However, the other day, Cory says that she actually said "That's a big cheetoe". Hmm, I ask, why was she eating cheetoes? In any case, Sabrina is a talker, who knows what she will be like when she is Sofia's age!!

Here is a video we took after the day at the pool. Sofia is definitely off in her own world babbling and Sabrina is telling me who everyone is. She currently calls Sofia, "Fy". The other day, Sofia turns to Sabrina and said, " Sabrina, why can't you say Sofia. So-Fia. Try It" It was SO funny!

Summer Evening at Fountain Walk

Can you ask for a better evening. 80 degrees and we all went to dinner at Fountain Walk in Novi for Marcus & Karen's 3rd anniversary. The kids are getting big so fast! Zach and Sabrina particularly had fun at the fountains. Sabrina, who just turned 17 months last week, said "Splash-Water-Baby-Zachy" after she left. Can you believe she is talking so much? Two word sentences are very common for her now... and every now and then she will do a 3 or 4 word sentence. Doesn't she know that I want her to slow down on this growing up thing? This is our last baby and I wanted to enjoy the stages SLOWLY. She can't seem to do anything fast.






Here are the all of the cousins hanging out at Fountain Walk. Sofia just adores Aysia and will follow her anywhere. And Sabrina, Miss Independent, won't let her hold her hand not matter how dangerous things get!


And I finally couldn't resist putting a few family pictures up on this Blog. It is pretty hard to keep my girls to sit still for more than an nano-second. So, this is probably the closest thing we will have to a family picture for a while. We even had to bribe Sofia to sit still. We thought she would forget, but 10 minutes later, she asked where her ice cream was.

My girls having too much fun "eating" ice cream at Guernsey's in Northville. We eventually had to strip Sabrina down since she decided to run all over the van covered in ice cream! In the end, the girls plopped down on Griffin's dog bed in the back, giggling like schoolgirls! CLICK ON THE IMAGE IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT LARGER!!!

Hanging with Family

June 11th, 2006 : We decided it was time to pay a visit to Marcus and Karen tonight. It was a nice cool evening in June. It is always nice to have "unplanned" visits to family. Bunky, our nephew is starting to walk and get into everything. And our niece, Aysia, is getting to be the "caregiver" of all the kids. It's so strange when we think that we met her at Sofia's age and how quickly they grow up! Me and my niece... Aysia


And here is Uncle Cory hanging out with the Big Z... Can you believe that Zach is actually staying still! It was so cute, he was chasing Sabrina around all night trying to "hug" her. However, it looked more like a tackle. Our tough little Sabrina doesn't stand a chance against him!


Sofia adores her big cousin, Aysia. Here Sofia is actually singing... "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" to all of us. I really wish I had this on video. Maybe next time!

Finally, I have to include a picture of our crazy Sabrina. She is 17 months old and talking in two word sentences now. I can't tell you how many funny faces she makes in just one day. She always has us laughing. She is already definitely the ring leader in the family. Sofia spends all day copying and following her around. Oh, boy... the next few years will be interesting.
