Happy 3 month Birthday Sophie Grace!

There isn't a 29th this month so we celebrated today!

We are proud to announce Sophie took a bottle while I was at a baby shower earlier!! Matt was pretty excited as he did it all by himself...and they had a nice bonding moment :)

This was only the 2nd time we tried, and we're hoping it sticks! Now Matt can do nighttime feedings, haha :)

counting down until 5!

Sooooo excited Matt gets off work at 5pm today. We were supposed to go to the Monster truck rally, a bunch of ppl from Matts work got a suite and I'm sure it would have been a blast, being inside during this rainy season...we went 2 years ago and it was pouring! However, I just wasn't ready to leave Sophie and go out for that long. I feel I would have been going out only because everyone keeps saying we have to go out without Sophie. The bottom line though is I'm not ready. And it's not like Matt and I NEED to get away. I mean she's not a stressful child. She goes to bed at 9pm. Matt and I make our own date nights at home :) Whether it's watching a movie from netflix, making dinner together or the BEST date night of all...singing Sophie to sleep. Together.

dessert for dinner.

I made pineapple upside down cupcakes for dessert tonight. I cannot describe how good they were!

Soph's first day at the ballpark

Matt, Sophie and I went to visit our friend Diane at the ballpark today! We are thinking of going to a bunch of Sunday games this season, so we went to look at seats, and get Soph and Matt some Giants gear! (Matt has converted from A's to G's...Alyze, aren't you proud?!)

Diane had a special gift for Sophie, her first Giants cap and a few other goodies!!! She was SUCH a good girl!! We had a blast, and cannot wait to go back!!

Valentines Day project for Daddy!!!

Sophie is making Daddy a special gift for Sunday. It's never too early to start their creativity :)

our first mini vacation with our 2 month old!!

Matt, Sophie & I spent 2 nights in Windsor which is in Sonoma County. My mom has a timeshare that she let us use. Matt and I have stayed there a few times before and really liked it so we thought it would be a relaxing place to take Sophie that wasn't too far from home!

Rodney Strong is one of our favorite wineries. Sophie slept the entire time!

J vineyards

Getting ready for our day out

Sophie trying to push her jammies off with her feet

hard work!

Getting ready for dinner

Getting ready to put Sophie down for a nap! We forgot her swing so we went on Craigslist and found one for $30. The guy not only brought it to us but gave us 4 new batteries!!!

Sleepy girl!

BBQ chicken for Matt and veggie packs for me!

Matt and I sat outside and ate both nights while Sophie slept. It rained one night while we ate, which was heaven to me.

Superbowl!

and now we're off to the wine country for 2 nights!!!
