Baby boot camp update!!!

Sofia with her 2nd cousin Vanessa Flores. Sofia was not happy with the 2 sessions she has been through this weekend. What a trooper.

4th of July Celebration

Every year my Aunt Mary has a huge bash at her house for the 4th. Well wouldn't you know it,we are under a firework ban because of the drought that we have going on. We were supposed to set off a ridiculous amount of fireworks but couldn't. Instead we had more time to socialize with family who only get to visit at this time of year. It was so much nicer. Sofia was of course on display and everyone commented on how extremely cute she is, I was thinking "of course she is".
I know family who know of Sofia's story were curious but you could tell they sincerely thought she was too cute for words.

I have a cousin who just months before Sofia was born found out his son Jesiah, had Autism. We talked a bit about his fears for his son and how he came to terms only to have those fears come back after hearing about Sofia. He was incredibly encouraging and said anytime I wanted or needed to talk to give him a call. I love my family. I don't know what I would do without them.

Of course,I wanted to take tons of pictures but because of parent brain I grabbed the most important items leaving the house first (the kids) and left the camera at home. BUMMER!!

One out of town visitor that I wanted to get a picture of was my cousin, Vanessa Flores. She is an OT and was so helpful the last two days. We don't have PT yet and she gave us great exercises to do with Sofia to get her core stronger. She told Sofia that's she was going to go through baby boot camp. I thought it was hilarious, because Sofia just looked at her like she was crazy.

I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!! I can't say enough how lucky I am to have family who surround us with love and support. The best 4th of July celebration yet.
