Sofia @ 3 mos

Our Princess Sofia is now 3 months! She has grown so much and is developing so much. We just got back from our trip to florida! It was so much fun. Sofia had many firsts. It was her first road trip. Sofia and I went with my sister-in-law Bobbi and my niece Lacy (8months old). Everyone, of course, thought we were crazy driving from Chicago to orlando! It actually wasn't that bad. We left Saturday March 21, drove 8 hrs to Cadiz Kentucky, where we stayed at our friends amazing lake house. We stopped every 3-4 hrs to feed the girls. We stayed here until monday morning. Monday we left at 3AM! Got to Otown at 9PM. Again stopping every 3-4 hrs at rest stops- we laid out some blankets and had picnic at every stop. The girls enjoyed it and the weather was so nice and warm!
We had a blast in orlando. We went shopping a few times and had the best Mojito at Cafe Kalik at the outlets in Orlando. We went to beautiful Siesta Key. The beach was beautiful but the experience was as lovely. Bobbi and I definitely missed our husbands. It was really hard doing everything on our own. Lets just say it was too windy and next time Tyler and Jason will be there! We spent a couple of day at the pool, which we enjoyed so much! For Bobbi's birthday we went to downtown Disney and had a great dinner at Bongos Cafe, where there was live salsa and dancing, and of course rice and black beans, I love my culture! The rest of the time was spent with my family. We had so many get togethers/ dinners/ parties in the short time we were there. But, we had a blast. Bobbi and Lacy definitely fit right in with my fam. I miss them so much, they are just great!
We left Thursday March 2nd and stayed in KY again. By this time we were so ready to to get back to our hubbies. It was a great trip.
Sofia had her first fevers when we first got to orlando-maybe from the change of weather? She has also starting sucking her thumb and fingers. SOfia has found her hands and feet. She loves watching her hands and loves grabbing her toes. She also pulls up her pant legs, it so fun. She is now laughing and screaming! She smiles when she looks at herself in the mirror. And she is totally grabbing and playing with toys! Wow, all thing has developed in the past 2 weeks! She is so smart and so beautiful. Jason and I feel so blessed and so happy!

update...

If I updated this more often, maybe it wouldn't be so hard. Anyways Happy Easter! Today is Good Friday. Today I think about the words of the song Majesty:
Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

The past 2-3 years Jason and I have watched the movie the Passion of the Christ. It is just a reminder for us of the love of Christ. I am humbled everytime I watch this movie. We will be watching it tonight.

just over 2 months

Sofia is now just over 2 months old! She is so beautiful. She enjoys smiling, sitting in her bouncy seat and laying in her play gym staring up at her toy flower! It is so much fun watching her grow and develop. It is finally starting to warm up here in Illinois, so we are enjoying going on walks on the warm days. Sofia and I are getting excited for our road trip to Florida with Auntie Bobbi and cousin Lacy.
