Remembering Sofia's first Halloween

Sofia's first Halloween pumpkin.

With Cousin Caleb in his costume

 So the blog has been neglected in the last couple months, which happen to have been some exciting ones. Sofia has now adopted a new nickname due to her ladybug costume... the Collados like to call her lady and now I've been liking ladybug- it seems to fit. Halloween was subdued and wonderful. We didn't go trick-or-treating but I made sure to get some good use out of her adorable costume; she wore it to music class, to Mike and Pat's (Grandma & Grandpas) and to our Sunday Halloween baby brunch at Tom & Alex's. We also carved a pumpkin with some neighbor friends with a baby girl as well and ended up taking pictures of Sofia in it the next day (and then the next morning when she is her happiest-maybe it's because she's in her pj's). And surprise... her first food was moldy pumpkin. We thought it was so cute that she slumped down and began knawing on the side of the pumpkin during her photo shoot- we weren't grossed out until we took her out of the pumpkin and noticed the mold. Wow, we're such good parents. No side effects though so we're just toughening her up for the real world I guess.

Her usual spot on Grandma- she's been lucky to spend Fridays with Grandma (and I've been lucky to be able to get so much work done at Starbucks at the same time). Thanks Grandma!

With her friend Kai.

Sofia loves getting thrown up in the air- here's the end of the smile Andy caught.

The challenge of taking a group shot of babies at the baby Halloween brunch- before Sofia was sitting up.
