Two in One

i have 2 blog posts in 1 today. hope that's ok with you. my first one is dedicated to my sister, candice. she just started her new job as a 2nd grade teacher in virginia. this is HUGE because she has been patiently waiting for a job for a while now. i wish i could've been there to make her breakfast, pack her a lunch, and meet her at the bus when she returned home. sofia and i sent her this the morning of her first day...

we love her sooo much! i really miss being a teacher, so i'm going to live through her.

labor day. we sure do love our best friends here. the bliss (that's their actual last name) mean the world to us and it's even more exciting now that they are expecting a little one of their own. sofia adores them. tio eliot is amazing with kids and sofia genuinely loves him...

don't you LOVE the new feather headband i got her??? i sure do...

she always has a smile on her face when he's around.

i have to explain this next one, so he doesn't look like a pedophile. sofia has been coughing a lot lately, so we got some infant vicks vapor rub. we put her shirt over her head to rub it on her chest, but she wasn't having it and got fussy. eliot jumped in and started reading a book to her. sorry i didn't get the book in the picture.

i love that their mouths are in the same shape...

the following pictures are of sofia, just because. i liked her outfit. and i just loved her little body in it.

i don't remember what she was doing here...but it's cute.

and hello cheeks. yes, my baby is 20 lbs now.

never thought i could love like this.
