I can tell that you were beginning to think that this blog was never going to be updated.Hallelujah, my Mama finally put some new info up!

So what has Sofia been up to? Well, really what has she not been doing? She is of course walking like crazy and every once in a way breaks out into a sprint when she thinks you might chase after her. Her vocabulary is very active and increasing daily. Weve mastered the da-da, ma-ma, na-na (is food) and lots of bla-grah and more complete sounding sentences. It's amazing how Sofia knows when you're asking her a question and responds. Even better is when you're talking about her and she responds! Gosh they make kids smart these days!

Anyhow aside from growing up way to fast, we've had a busy past couple weeks: two weddings, an unexpected trip to Alaska & a trip to wine country. Here are some fun moments.

Mario Anthony Zamora

This morning Jen & Anthony welcomed Mario Anthony Zamora into the world. Mario & Mama are doing well.

Mr. Mario was born at 9:22 am, sharing his Dad's birthday! Mario weighed in at 8lbs and 12 oz, as you can see has a full head of hair and is 21 inches long!

As you can imagine we're all Dyen to meet the lil' guy! Sofia is already practicing saying "Mario" so far the "ma" sound & clapping are as close as she's gotten!


Welcome to the family lil' Mario!

The past month has kept us mighty busy. Sofia is no longer just "walking" she is actual entering rooms on her own accord and learning to dance. As she becomes more mobile her vocabulary is rapidly picking up speed to.

In June, Pat and I helped cater Jason & Kristie's wedding show at Betty & Chris' in LG. The party was a hit, so much so that Pat is launching his own catering company, Flanagan Events. Check out the photos below.
