The weather has finally been nice enough for us to get outside and enjoy the end of summer. It's hard to believe that it's already August! But that means fall is just around the corner, and I can not wait for some cool air! We've been taking advantage of these past beautiful days with lots of walks, including a trip to Brookfield Zoo! I wasn't sure how it would go over, but I think it was a pretty successful trip. We went with my two best friends, Rebecca and Stefanie, and their little ones, so it was a group event. Sophia slept most of the time, but I tried to get her in as many pictures as I could with the animals. Most of them turned out to look like the Travelocity commercials where the Gnome placed strategically in front of famous structures to look like he'd actually been there. They're pretty funny.

I enjoyed spending the day with the whole group and watching my college friends be mommies! It's so crazy to think that just 5 years ago we were dancing the night away without a care in the world, and now we are married with kids, and in bed by 9:00 on a Saturday night. My, how the times have changed. I'm so glad that the three of us have remained so close, even though we all live about an hour away from one another. These two girls mean the world to me, and I'm so happy that they are a part of my life. It's nice to know that Sophia will have some friends her age to grow up with. I foresee many play dates in the future! Here is a blast from the past...the college years.

In other news, Sophia is sleeping like a champ! The past two nights she slept 5-6 hours, and probably could have slept longer if I didn't wake her up to eat. I couldn't believe it when she didn't wake up after only 2 hours of sleep. I had to check and make sure she was still breathing! It was a very nice surprise, and something I'm hoping will remain a pattern. Mommy and daddy definitely appreciate it!
