Watching TV

I put Sophia in her swing the other day and she was trying to look up at the TV. So I thought it would be fun for her to watch her first cartoon... She loved it! The music and all the colours were so interesting to her. She was talking to the TV and moving her hands all around! As you can see... she was very mesmerized by it!

What a trip

Yesterday morning we left for Vernon at 11:30 in the morning. Sophia did very well ... sleeping for the majority of the travel time. She did wake up and scream a couple of times... so feeding and burping and changing ensued! But we stayed on course and made pretty good time! I couldn't believe how much different this trip was compared the other times... We were exhausted! I started to get delusional towards the end of the evening.. the room actually started spinning! All I could think of was BED... unfortunately this is not what Baby S had in mind. She kept us up most of the night... and my younger cousins couldn't sleep very well either because they heard her little peeps! (maybe not so little) It was so nice to visit with my family though... I wish we could see them more often! We visited this morning again and then were off at 2:00pm to come home... I AM TIRED! And now so is she... I'm thinking that she will have a good sleep tonight! Please let this be good practice for CABO... and maybe she'll do very well when we actually have to live in a strange place for a week!!! I can't believe we leave in ONE WEEK!!! Woo Hoo!!!

My cousin Holly's oldest daughter Cassidy. 

I used to play with her when she was Sophia's size... how time flies!

Mitchel (7) & Cassidy (9) holding up the outfit they bought Baby S

My Aunty Helen bought Sophia her Big Blue Dinosaur... the coolest thing ever!

Here Cassidy & Mitchy are showing her how to use it!

They thought she was more fun to play with than their new Christmas toys... they took turns feeding her and burping her! They did so good... and they were sooooo cute!

What a totally lovely Christmas of Firsts! What a blessing family is... and such a ton of fun to be spending this little holiday with little Miss Sophia Grace... she is getting to be so much fun! Happy First Christmas Love!

The Horrible Shot Monster

After much thought, research and a half a dozen interviews of different health care professionals, we decided that getting vaccinated was indeed the way to go. So today, Christmas eve, a crazy snowy day, we made out way to the Health Unit and got immunized. That was the worst experience so far. She totally felt everything and I almost wanted to punch my nurse in the face for hurting my baby. Seriously, that was not fun. Luckily Matthew came with us for moral support or I might have bawled my eyes out. Wow... but I just have to think that it was for her own good! I know I'm being super dramatic.. but it feels weird to allow 4 nasty shots in her little bean leg. Boo to the nasty shot monster.

Baby Bean turns 2 Months Old...

Happy 2 Month Old Birthday Baby Sophia!

She has grown so much! 

She is now officially 10 lbs and smiles and coos all the time! 

She isn't a newborn any more!!! 

My baby sleeps!!!!

Little Sophia now sleeps through the night... last night was the best so far: From 10:00pm to 7:00 am.. I am so lucky! We also had our last midwife appointment yesterday... she is now 9lbs 5oz (according to their scale... not the greatest weight.. but coming) her head is 40cm and she is 60cm long! Go go go Baby S... She is getting bigger... not a newborn any more... I am little sad! ;)

Baby S's First Piece of Mail

Ready for Christmas... hopefully!

Well we have our Christmas tree up...

The presents wrapped...

And this year I got myself a little something something... SOPHIA!

What a wonderful time of year.. getting ready for the holidays! I finally finished the last little bit of my shopping and we are all ready! (Again... I say hopefully) This year has been fun... brining the little girl shopping with me... poor thing is going to have that skill down pat at an early age! We draw names for both sides of our family... and this year I got to shop for two of boy cousins... Mike & Jeff and we got Joe & Nate from Matthew's side! Lots of boy presents this year... including all my little nephews!!! 

Matthew was so sweet the other day... he brought me home a lovely winter jacket for this extremely cold weather we have been having! I have such a great guy... I have to give him "props"!

I can't believe there are only 9 more days until Christmas... this year has just flown by! Well here is my good luck wishes to all of you who haven't been on maternity leave or have more than an "easy" baby in a car seat... You can do it... and get that Christmas shopping done! :) If you need any help... just gimme a ring!

Robinson Christmas Tree Farm

It's a tradition in the Robinson family to go to the Alouette Christmas Tree Farm (run by Uncle Daniel's and Uncle Wes's families) and go Christmas tree hunting! This year we thought it would be extra fun to go because Baby S could join in the fun! We also had Heidi and Tim along for the ride... and they found the most beautiful tree in the bunch... see photo below! Daddy Matthew found our tree and it's also quite a stunner! Baby S had a blast... she slept through the whole thing... even sitting on Santa's lap... but she did cry when daddy put her on the donkey! It was great... he went to lie her down on the animal... until he saw that donkey fur in baby's mouth probably wasn't the greatest idea ever!

Good Pick Guys!

Wow.. honey you are so strong! Thanks for doing all the heavy lifting! What a man!

Most babies cry through this... but she was soooo sleepy! Don't worry she kept me up that entire night! Lesson learned!

This is supposed to be a Penguin... but instead it's mischievous baby!

Donkey + Baby... Good Times!

Our stunner of a tree.... Tomorrow She Shall be decorated!

Baby is Sleeping... So I thought I'd BLOG!

IN HER CRIB!!!! WAAA HOO!!!!!

Loving her new mobile from Nana Dykstra.

Waking up after sleeping next to mommy in the morning! In a good mood... 

just after a feed, of course!

Playing with Daddy... thinking his nose is a Boobie! After they started to talk to each other... We would imitate her coos and then she would say the same coo back. Pretty fun!

Aunty Nicole has been so sweet to Baby S... Here she is sleeping in her awesome swing, T shirt and Blankie from A.C. (Auntie Cole)

Auntie Cole gave Sophia these letters for her Shower.. Looks Awesome!

Thanks A.C.
