Help Me Obi-Wan, You're My Only Hope...

Sofi's hair after pig tails.

Getting Naked

Last night we were cooking dinner and Mike and I started talking about giving Sofi a bath. Sofi was hanging out playing and then disappeared for a minute. Mike found her in the hallway half naked! Sofi has learned to take off her shoes, socks, pants and diaper all by herself! Aren't we lucky? We were laughing pretty hard at our naked toddler, taking pictures and cooking when we noticed there was pee on the ground. Of course Sofi slipped in it and hit her head on the floor (she's ok) before we could capture the moment on film.

Fight the Power!

Oh the tricks my daughter knows. Sofi and Mike were "raging" to a little 'People of the Sun' the other night and Sofi's newest trick emerged. If you say "power to the people" sofi raises the five sided fistagon. She still looks a little too happy when she does it though. I think we have to practice a mean face --or at least a serious one to go with it. Now that I look at the last pic, we also have to get rid of the karate stance.

2 Week Check Up

At our 2 week check up last week Ofelia came in at the 10% mark for weight (6 pounds 14 ounces) and height (19 and 1/4 inches). Her head hit the 30th percentile... not sure what to think about that. I was expecting something higher with our family's track record. Oh well, maybe Sofi is just an over-achiever.

Little Bully

Apparently all the pushing and shoving Sofi does has helped her to build super toddler strength. Sorry boys, I guess this means you'll only hit the ground harder from now on.

Way up in the trees...

Does anyone else see the resemblance in hair styles?

Problem Solved!!!

So everyone has been asking what we're going to do when Ofelia outgrows the bassinet and Sofi needs a toddler bed... Ha! The wagon! Who needs a house?! We can just roll her to where ever fits that night. Genius, pure genius.

Favorite Shoes

Now that Sofi's ruby red shoes don't fall off of her, she wears them with just about anything. Apparently they go great with her diapers. You can't tell from these pics, but they really bring out the color in Elmo's fur (for those of you who haven't seen Pampers in a while, they have Sesame Street characters on them.).

Diaper Changes

Diaper changes are looking a little different these days. Mike is trying to figure out a way to get both girls in and out assembly line style. I think we might need a bigger changing table for that though.

First Bath

Ok, first of all Ofelia's first bath was sometime last week... I'm a little behind on the blog. Ok, technichally her first bath was at the hospital (see below).

This is her first bath at home with Sofi. It's a tight fit right now with the little baby tub, but barriers between the girls are good these days. Our little bully (the one on the right) has been watching too many UFC ground and pound clips these days.

Sofi was actually pretty happy to have 'baby' (what Sofi calls Ofelia) in the bath with her, but the crying seemed to confuse her.

She even tried to help with the washing process. Sofi isactually very helpful with Ofelia when she wants to be.

More at Home

Sofi did a great job welcoming her sister home.

She showed her how to play with Mr. Star (Sofi's old favorite).

Showed her the big kid toys on the rug.

Let her rest a little.

Hung out with mama on the rocking chair.

Being a big sister is hard work. Sofi is trying to catch naps when she can.

George is working hard too and also enjoys a good nap.

Coming Home

Luckily everything went smoothly and we were able to come home Monday afternoon. Here's Ofelia chillin with Pooh and Piglet on the way home.

Big Sister Sofi couldn't have been happier to see that we were all home.

She wanted to make sure all of her sisters things were in working order and tested them thoroughly.

Car seat... check.

Ofelia Meets the Family

Finally off the oxygen, Ofelia was able to meet lots of family.



Mama.

Papa

Grandma Sandy

Grandma Lou Lou

Grandpo Ron

Big sister Sofi

A Medina is Born

Here we are at about 7 in the morning getting ready for the big event. Going to the hostpital that morning was one of the strangest events in my life.

Mike seems in good spirits. All the poking and family history questions haven't phased him at all. And check out the new paper made 'fit!

First moments of life. Ofelia ended up needing about 8 hours of oxygen. It was a little scary, but we were assured that it was normal for c-section babies. The down side was that we didn't get to hold her until that evening.

A New Baby for Me and You: Ofelia Bleu

On Friday at the ungodly hour of 5am we went to the hospital to pick up the newest member of Team Unstoppable. Say hello to Ofelia Bleu Medina.
This is our most recent family picture. Look at how proud big sister Sofi looks.

Sofi holds Ofelia for the first time. Check out the new hat from D-stay away from daughters-Train. Thanks D!

More love from sister Sofi... hey, that'll be her convent name in a few years!

So far all is well. We appreciate all the visitors we've had. Thank you guys for making Sofi feel so special. Hopefully we'll be home Monday. Mike says he's running low on his push gift beer.

Bear Feet

One night after bath time Mike found my Winnie the Pooh slipper socks. Yes, they're mine. He thought Sofi might enjoy wearing them around the house since she recognizes Pooh's face. I think she likes them.

Trick or Treat!

We took Sofi trick-or-treating on Halloween with her friend Jack Jack. After about the 3rd house Sofi couldn't have been more excited about what was happening. All she had to do was stand at a porch and someone was giving her candy!!! Our little bully even tried her hand at bag snatching! Unfortunately, the six year old she tried to rob was on to her plan.
