Daniel and Mark have decided that Sophia is their "Little Sweetie" or "Ittle Wheatie" as Daniel says it. And she is that! She is now a whopping 10lbs and a few ounces and is a very happy, intense, laid back little girl. Mark would also like me to add that she has his expressive eyebrows...
For Valentine's Day Bear and I made Rice Krispie treats. He was really into these. In the tradition of Greek mythological heroes he made many of them cyclopses ;-) Isn't he smart?
He had a Valentine's Day party at school and I had to bring Soph inside to it. I say had to because I really DON'T want her around all of the flu/strep/pink eye that is going around right now. She already has congestion and an ear infection. However, luckily she dodged the bullets of all the illnesses floating around the room (so far!) Notice all the sugar these kids are hyped up on before they come home. Whew.
THE BUG MAN COMETH. . .
When Lorenzo, the Orkin man, comes to our house everyone snaps to attention. Daniel quits whining, Eric puts down the videogames, and Mark and I start straightening up. Lorenzo is like one of the family. Not because we have a lot of bugs, but because his bi-monthly visit is the highlight of the boys' day. He lets them follow him around (like he could shake them if he wanted to) with a flashlight and look for bugs, spiders, etc. This time he even paid them each a dollar.
Here is a pic of Fi in her bathtowel. Pretty cute, huh?
And she is already in her bouncy seat. Pretty good for a newborn.
Here are Eric and Fi chillin'.
And here is Mark with the little ones who have passed out in various places around the house as he gathers them for naptime. (Don't be fooled. Dan rarely passes out for naptime this easily).
We have received numerous well wishes and thoughtful baby gifts and we are thankful for each and every one of them. Here is one of the gifts that made us laugh the hardest though (Thanks Jess and Sam!):
