The Sianez Clan

My big bro and his family came out to visit us last week. It was a good time, but we found we were chasing our kids around way more than we were visiting. I guess that's how it'll go until the kids get a bit older. Sofi had a great time with her cousins and still asks for Emma... no offense Austin, I think it's a girl thing.

When they got here Sofi was quick to show them her wagon. I think Emma likes it!
After quite a bit of playing and a little bit of pushing, shoving, biting, hitting and hair pulling they all managed to take a bath to relax. Sofi was very much the observer with Austin. I think she was amazed at how fast and coordinated he was.

Ofelia was doing her own thing during all the fun.

Here both girls are amazed at Austin's speed up and down the hallway.

A still shot.

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?
