Almost 2 months

Sophia is almost 2 months old....we can't believe it. She is starting to get a little personality. She smiles a lot and is overall a good baby. She is pretty much out of her newborn clothes and weighs around 9.5 lbs. I put her in a peach big girl outfit (0-3 months) and could not believe it fit!!! I feel like with her we are hanging on to her youth (newborn status) and forget that she is getting so big, almost 2 months old! Isabella continues to be a great big sister. Of course, the attention is still mostly on her (because she demands it!), but she is very sweet about telling "sissy" hi, giving sissy a kiss, bottle, paci... I can already tell they are going to be best friends.

This weekend was very low key, relaxing, and nice. Friday we took the girls to Johnny Carinos because we had a gift certificate. It was super cold and as soon as we ordered our food, Sophia went nuts. We ended up having to just take everything home. Saturday we went to the Gallaria for a bit. They have this kid store that I love!!! It is owned by a South African lady. The clothes are super cute, comfortable, and affordable...I bought Isabella and Sophia the cutest pjs (with feet) for 6.99. (they were regular 20.00)...Saturday night Dave and I were supposed to go to a dinner with our friends Paul and Rebbecca (and all of their friends) because they were in town from Qatar. Christa and Brad were to be the babysitters, but unfortunately, Christa came down with a stomach virus. We decided to just lay low in Katy. We ventured out to the Chili's down the street and got a flat tire on our way home...that was a little ordeal!!! Thank goodness for the wonderful in laws who kindly buy us triple A every year...we end up using it several times!!!

Sunday we just relaxed around the house. I was not feeling very well. I am still trying to do well on my diet and exercise to lose this baby weight. I have been pretty good about getting on the treadmill. I got on the treadmill Sunday for three miles...My back (from the epidural) has really started bothering me again...

Today when I went back to work it was FREEZING!!!! Our school has had problems all year with AC and heating...we did not have heat all day!!!! Tomorrow I am planning on wearing LOTS of layers. Dave had to bring and pick me and the girls up (because my car was at Discount tire)...it was so nice the 2 of us dropping/ picking up the girls!!!! Sophia's teacher's said she need diapers, wipes, formula, and a Valentine's Day outfit....that is was Dave said...I was very surprised!!! I love buying the girls special outfits for the holidays, but it is nice when I can say, "the daycare said they had to have it"...haha...too funny....
