Hanging around the house

Here are a few pictures from the last month of Sophia hanging out around the house. She is constantly moving and always keeping us entertained!

Aquarium and Petting Zoo

These pictures are from about a month ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting them.

Our trip to the aquarium with Colin:

Colin and Sophia checking out the fish


Sophia loved standing and looking through the big window


Hi Mr. Fish!


There was a scuba diver in the tank that scared Sophia, but she finally got brave enough to go check out the fish.

Farmer Sue came to Sophia's school and brought some animals from her farm! It was a day that Sophia doesn't go to school, so we were invited to bring our kids to see the animals. Sophia loved it and was not scared at all!

Sophia loves babies

Sophia loves babies. Not just likes them, but truly loves them. Anytime we see a baby, she has to stop and look and talk to them. She wants to give them hugs and kisses, share her food and drink, give them their pacifier, and feed them their bottle. So we know she will be thrilled when she understands the news that she is going to be a BIG SISTER!!!

Baby Molinari #2 is coming in early October 2011!



Peek a boo!

I see you!

Getting practice

Hurray! I'm going to be a big sister!

Swim Lessons

Sophia has been taking swim lessons for the past month and she absolutely loves it! She has so much fun playing in the water and is going to have a blast when we go to the beach. When we get in the pool, first she floats around on a noodle.



Next we sing our hello song and a few other songs to get them used to the water. She then sits on a raft to practice her balance and to strengthen her middle.



Next we practice floating on her back.



Then we do Humpty Dumpty and jump off the wall. This is Sophia's favorite.





After jumping in, she tries to climb back out of the pool.



Finally, she practices swimming under the water from Mommy to the teacher and then back. She's been doing a great job of not drinking the water.
