We continue to take advantage of our time in California with trips to the beach, pool parties, fireworks, walks on the pier, ice cream, swinging, uncles, sand castles, sunglasses, tennis, picnics, crawling...
Summer is too short!

SoCal
We have been in sunny California for about 3 weeks now and we are really loving our time here with family and friends. I am so excited for Sofia to get this much attention from her grandma and grandpa and all of her uncles (and fabulous aunt!) She is also getting to do lots of fun things with her adorable cousin Ellie. They have been swimming in their mini blow-up pool, they went to see farm animals and pick fruits and veggies at a local farm and and Ellie introduced Sofia to the California shoreline.

Enjoying a MumMum.
We also had the chance to spend some time with our good friends Heather and Pancho and their daughter Kendra. Heather and I met while teaching in Chile and we both met our husbands there. Their daughter Kendra is a cutie ...she is smart and full of energy. She is like a miniature version of both of her parents.

Life
We celebrated a half birthday at Casa Chalco-Paz last week. Truthfully, we didn't actually celebrate, we just mentioned the fact that Sofia was already six months old. I can't believe how quickly the time has flown. I love the age that she is right now, learning something new every day and growing more and more independent, but at the same time, I am already missing those early newborn days when we just held her all day long. Some of the things that Sofia has been blowing our minds with lately:
She can sit up all by herself.
She can pull herself up in her crib when she is already in the sitting position.
She is eating rice cereal and we just started her on vegetables this week. So far we have had some avocado...next on the list is sweet peas!
She has just barely started sleeping though the night....a combination of sleep exhaustion on our part and her refusal to cuddle with us anymore has forced our hand. We just put her in the crib and hope for the best and she seems to be loving her new found freedom. She has slept for about 10 hours a night for almost a week now.
She has been swimming and she LOVES it. I foresee a summer filled with trips to the pool.
She found her voice...and loves to holler and yell when the mood strikes her.
She hates to hug or cuddle with us...but she will give kisses (or eat your nose) when forced.
She likes to play hide and seek with her dad...I know that you aren't buying that one, but I promise it is true. It is the funniest thing to watch. I need to post a video.
Here are some shots of how awesome she is at six months:
