May 2, 2009 - Sophia's 2nd Birthday Party

Sophia had a ladybug themed party for her second birthday. She was all excited about her party. For days we had been teaching her how old she was going to be. So if you ask her, "How old are you?", she'll hold up 2 fingers and say "Two." It's adorable!

The cake came out amazing! It was absolutely perfect! We got it from the continental Bakery in Swansea- I highly recommend it. It tasted great and was a good price!

We had a lot of people at her party and she had fun playing with her friends and cousins.

She got some great clothes and toys, as well as a dollhouse from Mommy & Daddy. She acted like a typical toddler, she had an attention span of about 5 seconds per present before she was off to do something else. She was great at ripping the presents open and got very excited about what was inside. She oohed and ahhed over the cute clothes she received. I heard a lot of "That's so cute!" from her while we were taking out clothes from the gift bags. lol.

David seems to be the official photographer of Sophia's birthday parties. It's awesoem having a friend who majors in photography. lol! We're waiting to get the pictures back from him that he took. I know that they'll be 100 times better than mine. Plus he got some pictures of her blowing out her cake.

April 12, 2009 - Sophia's 2nd Easter

April 11, 2009 - Easter Egg Hunt, Birthday Parties and Rock Band

We took Sophia to her first Egg Hunt at North Elementary on the day before Easter. She was so excited. She loved picking up the eggs and was even more excited when she saw the Easter Bunny. She ran up to him yelling, "Hi Bunny!" and showing him her basket. I thought she would be afraid of him like she was last year, but she wasn't!

Mommy, Sophia, Easter Bunny and Great Grandma

After the Egg Hunt, we had my cousin Kurt's 9th birthday party. She couldn't play laser tag with all the other kids, but she loved the spider web arcade game and the car racing games.

After Kurt's party everyone went over to my parents house to some family Rock Band time. We left at about 10:30 exhausted from the long day. My poor parents- everyone else stayed until 3:30 in the morning!

April 9, 2009 - Dying Eggs

After the art show, we came home and dyed eggs for Easter. Although, she looks happy in the pictures, she did not want to participate and cried for majority of the time. Oh well, next year she'll probably enjoy it more. I think she was so tired from the excitment of the art show.

April 9, 2009 - Art Gallery

We took Sophia to an Art Gallery in New Bedford that was hosted by our friends Jess and David.

Sophia had a blast there. She loved looking at all of Jess' paintings and David's photography.

Jess specializes in custom animal portraits, so if you would like a custom pet portrait check her out at http://www.jessboyerart.etsy.com.

Sophia was the star of the show. David had taken a series of pictures of Sophia's first time at the beach last year when she was 10 months old, that he displayed that night.



If you would like to contact David for Graphic Design, Photography or Web Design, you can email him at vitiare_solari@yahoo.com.

Anyway, Sophia had fun running around the room and playing with anyone and anything she could find.

Afterwords, she had fun playing with Uncle James' drum set.
