Last weekend we took the girls up to New York City. We did a lot of the touristy things, which we were able to see from a whole new, toddler perspective.
We went down to Virginia for Easter this year. It’s the first time we’ve been down there in a long while. It was a great weekend visiting with family and friends. Sophie got to hang with the big girls when we visited with Darby, Mary & Kaylee.
This weekend we had a second birthday celebration for Sophie with all of her friends. We had it at The Little Treehouse in Chestnut Hill. It’s basically a big tumble room where the kids can run around and just go crazy. There were about 15 kids and 25 adults and everyone had a blast.
Sophie had her first soccer practice this morning. It’s a league for 3-4 year olds and is held at Sister Cities Park, about a 15 minute walk from our house. It took her a bit to warm up, but once she did she had a lot of fun. Her friend Vivian is also taking it, and I think it helped to have a little friend encouragement there.
The top of Lauren’s right ear never folded all the way down. After talking with the doctor, we decided to do something about it now, rather than wait until she’s older to do something or not. So, last week she got an ear mold. It’s basically a plastic piece that folds down the top of the ear, and is secured by a big glop of purple silicone. They also had to shave behind her ear, so technically she had her first haircut too. It should take about 6 weeks or so to mold into a shape like the other ear.
She walked around the table three times with the globe and then placed it in it’s holder. Her favorite teacher, Desiree, made her a special Birthday Crown that she wore all day.
Lauren had her 2 month check-up this week. She weighs in at 11 3.5 lbs and is 22 1/4 inches tall. All else looks great and she’s a perfect, growing little girl. Happy 2 months!
This weekend my Nana, Sophie and Lauren’s great grandma, finally go to meet Lauren. She was in India for Dan’s wedding when she was born, and then spent a few weeks in Venice after that. As it so happens, she was also in Venice when Sophie was born. It’s her favorite place after all.
