I’m so late with this. Life continues it’s crazy pace, and it’s a struggle to keep up. Lolo and Lola visited a couple of weeks ago, their first visit since June 2009. Sophia obviously didn’t remember them, but it didn’t take long for her to warm up to them. They were here to help celebrate Sophia’s 2nd birthday, and I don’t think Sophia would have it any other way. She’s shown them she knows her colors, looks for buses whenever she’s in the car, loves the Backyardigans, and can’t wait to go to Walt Disney World. She was sad by the time Lolo and Lola left, and each day since, she looks and asks for them. Fortunately, they’ll be visiting again along with Sophia’s cousin Jasmine later this summer.

Sophia celebrated her 1st birthday this past Tuesday! Click on the image above to see photos of this event as well as images from the past month. She is showing her personality (good and bad) more and more each day. Sophia’s so cute to watch her learn and react to everything around her. She’s really into my techie stuff – my iPod, my cell phone, my laptop, the TiVo remote control. I can’t take photos or video with my cell phone without her wanting to use it. And she knows the remote controls the TV because when the channel changes, she looks around to see who did it; when she pushes buttons, she looks up to see if anything happened. She’s not walking yet, but hopefully soon (she’s balancing better while standing). And deciphering her chitchat is a challenge; I think she’s talking Japanese.

So many things going on, it’s difficult to keep up. I spent most of my vacation time caring for Sophia. I enjoyed it tremendously, and I wish I could have another week at home with her. Well, like her mom, I’d rather be at home with her all the time. She started daycare today, her 3 month birthday. The teachers said she was very good considering she was with strangers. With the daycare center right across from my workplace, I can come and go as I please.
I only made it over there once today; a lot going on in the world of IT. Tomorrow, I begin a second round of training with a new case management application that goes live in 3 weeks. Once that’s up and running, I begin another 6 to 8 week implementation with another case management app. On top of that, I’m dealing with charges, lab cleanup, and other clinical system issues. Despite the busy-ness of it all, I’m comfortable and content.
It’s easy to forget things when you’re busy. So I want to take a moment to remember my uncle Teddy, who passed away 2 years ago on September 1. You are still missed, Tito Teddy. Much love to Tita Volet, Bong, and Jeff.
I also want to wish my niece Sarah a Happy Birthday 
She turned 19 today!
Happy Birthday Dad!
