Let's Get Away

Jeff planned a quick "let's get away" family trip to Salt Lake City (we can't go far with an infant). It was nice to be together as a family...including Heather and Eliot, because they are our only family up here.

Sofia's suitcase is a winner. People stared as they saw a 6'4 good-looking 26 year old man rolling it along. Thanks dad for carrying baby's stuff. Thanks Carmy and Sarah for buying it for her.



On Saturday before the Bliss came up, we strolled around SLC, wandering through stores. It was cold. When we got back, Sofia looked like that scene from Dumb and Dumber...you know, then one with dried buggers all down their face. It was gross. But look at this picture. Can we say Ensign magazine?




We stayed at the Marriott downtown and it had beautiful views of Temple Square. But Sofia's fav thing were the fluffy pillows. We got there and she staked her claim over the king size bed. Who could fight her.




Heather and Eliot joined us for the evening. We tried a new restaurant and were very pleasantly surprised. The Bluelemon is definitely somewhere we will return. It's an organic place with the best butternut squash soup (almost as good as Spark, Laura!)



They also joined us for a dip in the pool that night. Well, it took Jeff an hour to convince me to let our precious almost 4 month old go in to a germ infested public pool. I still get the creeps thinking I let her in. Oh well, she lived. We didn't have a pool diaper, so as ghetto parents, we tied a plastic bag around her diaper. It worked.



This suit is too big for her (6-9 month), but look how adorable she looks! And check out her legs. Loving them.



Heather would only go in if I went in. So, Heather didn't get to go in. Jeff knows that I don't like pools unless there is a hot Sun to tan my body. Why would I want my post baby body to get into a bathing suit if not necessary?

Does she look like me?



She loved the pool.



Don't you love it when babies get crazy eyes? These are Sofia's crazy eyes...



On the ride home, she got a little restless, so I jumped in the back seat with her. And ended up filming her. I love love love this little girl.



Sofia, we hope you loved our first weekend getaway with you.

Valentines Love

Dad and Sofia came home with the most beautiful bouquet of flowers. I think Sofia picked them out, and Dad paid for them. Good combo.



Sofia is still in a cradle, because she is so petite. She looks absolutely adorable in it. Thanks cousin Diego for letting us use your cradle. She also sleeps naked. Plus a diaper, because that would be a mess.



Love her.



I love picture for 3 reasons, and I am not embarrassed about them. 1. Her hair looks like a balding 40-year old mans. 2. It looks like she has a few chins here (even though she's pretty thin) 3. Her eyes look GORGEOUS! Still blue.



Sorry I blog constantly about Sofia. You would too if you were her mom.

Dear Dad



Dear Dad,
I know you have a big interview today with BYU. Just show them my picture and you'll get in for sure. I know you'll do great because you're really smart, and people really like you. I like you a lot. You make funny faces at me. You're the best dad in the world.

Super Super Bowl

Go Eddie! Our friend, Eddie King, made an amazing commercial for a Doritos contest. We wish him luck in winning tomorrow and hope to see it air during the superbowl! Watch for it...

Sofia's Tia Brooke made her some awesome gray and black leggings and Jeff thought she looked like she was ready to work out.

Thought you might enjoy...



We have way too much fun with her.

Blessing

Sofia Mae Crane was blessed by her amazing, loving daddy. The words were so special and we are so grateful for all our friends who came. Doesn't she look pretty? Thanks mom for the blessing outfit.



This is her Great Grandma Ruth. Grandma Ruth insisted that Sofia be named Jacqueline Elena Crane. We didn't go with it.



Jeffrey's parents flew in from San Francisco. Dave didn't touch her once. But I know he secretly loves her the most out of all his grandchildren. It's his only Mexican grandchild.







Right now this is her FAVORITE uncle Matt. Tio Matt drove over night, 20 hours, and slept at a Walmart...just to surprise us! It was so great to have him there and we love him and Maddie sooo much. I'm not sure why he's making this face here...Grinch looking?

Yes, You May Admire...

Mothers always think that their children are the most beautiful. I never thought I would be "one of those moms." I am. But, I have evidence. Look at these pictures, and tell me that she isn't beautiful! I just can't stop staring at her. Feel free to take one of these pictures and make her your desktop picture. I know you want to...






Ceecee calls this her "sexy pose." I knew she was a born model.





The same girl, Heather, who did my pregnant pictures in the lilac fields, and who took my pictures at the hospital, is the one who took all of these. She's talented, isn't she?









She is so pretty.





I LOVE how she is looking at me here!







I think she is perfect. Half me, half Jeff. What more could you ever want?
