Sofi is 1 month!

Sofi weighed in at a hefty 11 lbs at her 1 month appointment.  She has gained 3 lbs over the last month which  seems like a good amount, but she isn't as chunky as Charlie was.  She does however share Charlie's and Diego's odd receding hairline phase.  She is almost bald to the middle of her head and then has a good tuft of dark hair at the back.  She is super sweet and loves to be held.  I guess at some point that will get annoying, but for now I am enjoying it.  We go on long walks in the morning with her in the bjorn and she sleeps the whole time.  As soon as I try to put her down she screams!

Charlie and Diego still adore her - to the point that it is a bit of a safety issue and certainly a germ issue.  Diego sneezed directly on her face the other day and we are waiting to see if she gets his nasty cold.  I feel badly telling them to stay away from her because I want to foster their adoration, but they both have this gross lingering cold.  Despite their affection for Sofi they still seem to be acting out - Diego wants me to carry him more now and Charlie's whining has reached a new level...

This weekend we enjoyed the good weather and spent most of the time at nearby parks playing sports.  Friday we were at Yards Park for the first summer concert and it was already a zoo.  On Saturday Charlie played T-ball on The Hill for the first time while Diego supervised the micro-little league t-ball team of 2 years and under.  Both of them loved it.  Charlie also rode his bike for the first time without training wheels!  He had NO interest in taking off his training wheels until he saw his friend Joseph riding on Friday night.  Saturday Carlos took him out and he did it.  I was shocked that that was all it took.

Here he is falling over....

Sunday was soccer, swimming and dance recital. The dance recital was at this theater/church (yes that's a real thing) on 8th St and it was packed!  Of course Charlie was the only boy at the dance recital so I thought the combination of a packed house and no other boys would be a recipe for disaster.  But he did great and enjoyed himself!  Then again I did bribe him a bit by promising him frozen yogurt if he did it...All the other moms took thousands of photos of their daughter's "first dance recital."  We didn't.  I probably won't be able to do that even when Sofi is of dance recital age.
