Sophie's WALKING!

Look at my girl...Walking like a pro! Her Nina Anna sent her some walking shoes and here she is...Action shot! Gotta crawl before you can walk! And, here she goes. Sophie Linda...can't believe you're walking already. You know, since the day you were born everyone was like; wow, she's such a good baby, so calm, peaceful, quiet. YEA...those days are over! It's like you turned 1 and busted out girl. Our days eating out at restaurants are done for awhile...you won't stay in the hi-chair, you throw your food everywhere and scream until we get out of there. So, looks like we're eating in ...oh well, we'll save money that way right? 

HI-YA! 
I told Jake I wanted to take his picture and this is the pose he gave me. Kids...too funny!








   Sophie was checking out her new shoes and Jake was tell her, look at your new shoes Mama. It was too cute! 

My kids are so good at taking pictures. Most of the time, they will pose on que. They must be related to the Avila's. My Mom's family, we love taking pictures. Holidays, we spent hours posing, taking pictures of every possible group; cousins, aunts, uncles, all the girls, all the boys, etc. Good times! 

Jake wanted to show off his new helicopter. Jake, it's like you get more and more handsome every day. I love you! 










And, here's my little angel...fast asleep. This is priceless. See that teddy bear...That's "Teddy". Ever since I had Sophie, you are super super attached to this guy. It's very sweet. My baby...you're gonna be 4 years old in 2 months. 

These days are flying by. The things my kids do never cease to amaze me. The love I have for them just grows and grows. But the best thing about being a Mom...is that UNCONDITIONAL love my children have for me. It's such a gift that GOD gives to parents. Some days I forget about it or I may seem ungrateful, but I'm not. My kids won't be little forever or even want to hang out with me for that matter, so for now...I'm taking all I can get. I love you Jake & Sophie.
