May has been a busy month. We moved into our new place and have been getting settled in record time. It helps having Auntie's around too! We unpacked the last container (in the house) over Memorial Day weekend so everything has a place now, thank goodness!

Sofia is growing leaps and bounds daily. She's keeping us on our toes and advancing by the minute. My Grandparents came down in the middle of May for a weekend visit to meet Sofia. Sofia is my GMa & Papa's first great-grandchild, so a very big meeting indeed. Jen flew up from LA and Sarah took the train up so we had a nice lil family weekend.

In just two weeks since their visit Sofia has gone from being able to crawl & pull herself up to letting go and standing on her own. And over the weekend she's started to take lil steps. So far her grand total is 3 steps in one run, pretty good for only eight months old!

Sofia's personality is starting to show more and more. She knows what she wants and is getting more clever at how she communicates her desire/need to us. She's a great eater and loves trying all sorts of new flavors. Her two favorites by far are sweet potatoes & strawberries! We signed up for a local farm so each week we get a box of in season organic fruits & veggies, Sofia loves it and so do we! And Sofia loves to dance! As soon as she hears music her legs start bouncing.

Other than that life back in the city has been great fun. Our new place is in a great location, we're literally 200 feet from a little grocery store & deli, a few more blocks are you have an amazing pizza joint, a fabulous book store and most importantly great coffee shops!

Our pod before we unpacked it. If you look closely you will see that yes, our BBQ is in the crib.
