What a Week! - Flu, Sofi's Cuteness, the Zoo, and Reading Hour

Well, this has been quite the week! Simon and I caught a virus that lasted for a while and it was awful! I got it first and then passed it on to Simon (nothing says I love you like passing on a virus :). Weird thing is that I NEVER get sick. I don't get colds, runny noses, etc. So, this was the first time that Simon has see me sick. I have to say, being sick and trying to take care of a baby is not fun! You still have to go on despite the fact that you feel miserable! Sofi was very patient and such a trooper and she didn't catch it! She is such a great, happy, content baby.

Speaking of Sofi, she does the most amazing things latetly.

When I pick her up or am holding her, she caresses my face and reached up to take my hand. It MELTS my heart! She does the same thing with Simon. My goodness do I love this little girl! She is also talking so much more and crawls around on her mat and in her crib. It's pretty hilarious because I never know where in the crib I am going to find her! I put her down for naps and at night in the middle of the crib and when I go to check on her she is somewhere different. We love her tons!

Since Simon was sick longer than I was, Sofi and I decided to get out of the house. We met up with Jennifer and some other friends for family day at the Zoo. I'd never been, so it was fun to visit and hang out with great friends.

Sofi and I also have been visiting the local library for reading hour three times a week and it is wonderful! Yesterday, we met up with Faye Norris and Elena there for Story Time for those 3 and under. The story tellers are SO great and captivating! Sofi loves the bright colors of the books more than anything.
