Come one, come all!

We had a lot of visitors that came to see baby Sofia!

First, my mom arrived a week early to make sure she'd be here for Sofia's arrival...and be here to watch Suri while we stayed at the hospital. Then my brother, Abbott, came a week after her... and was able to feel Sofia kicking and moving in my tummy. Then, 3 days later, Miss Sofia, came into the world! (as you all know by now). Then my brother, Elliott, came in a few days later. Unfortunately, my Pop (Kevin) was unable to make it out here, but hopefully we'll see him (and everyone else again) soon!! While they were here, we checked out La Jolla Cove and they did some shopping & sight-seeing on their own, and my brother and I went to a Padres game. We also celebrated Seth's 27th birthday while they were here - and found this amazing new restaurant - Slater's 50/50! YUM! We enjoyed our time with my family and it was a great help having them all here to play with Suri, while Seth and I were occupied with the new baby. I miss them so much every day and can't wait to see them all again :) Love you all!

 Then we received a visit from Seth's parents for the weekend. Once again, it was super helpful having them around & so fun to see them play with Suri and love on her and new baby Sofia. They played out the courtyard with Suri and woke up with her in the mornings watching 'Blue's Clues!' (her favorite!) It was a great visit & we will be seeing them again real soon...next week ;)

Now it's our turn to travel, and that means Sunday we will be headed up to Pismo Beach to visit with Seth's mom & her crew for a couple of days - and then we'll spend the rest of the week in Bakersfield, so that the rest of the family on Seth's side can meet Miss Sofia!

Sofia is doing pretty well and does just what the title of our favorite baby book says, 'Eat. Sleep. Poop.' She doesn't fall asleep in her own bed though - only in our arms - and then wakes up when you try to set her down in her bed : /  So that's a bit difficult right now. Suri's slowly adjusting. Definitely pushing our buttons as far as she can & testing her limits. She is hitting a lot & throwing anything & everything! But she does have her sweet moments where she wants to hold her sister or give her kisses, and every night before bed she always wants to give sissy double kisses - and could care less about giving them to mommy & daddy. It's been a slow adjustment for us all, but things will get better with time and hopefully easier too... wishful thinking I'm sure : p   But overall, we are a happy little family, enjoying each new adventure that comes our way <3 Sc
