Sophia has had a big week. Her 2nd tooth has broke the surface (bottom front) and we thought it was a good time to start her on solids. Sophia dined on rice cereal for her first solid meal at the Chez Schaefer.
Initially Sophia did not have much of a reaction
But then she seemed to enjoy it
Isabella shows how a big girl eats
Sophia wanted more
Yup, I like it!
Needless to say Sophia has started sleeping much better at night. Normally she wakes up 2x a night to nurse but last night she slept from 9pm - 5:45!!! woohoo. Lets hope that trend continues.
Isabella enjoys having a baby sister. She loves to read to her and...
... feed her too.
Sophia loves to grab on Isabella and look at her. Its so sweet to see how they light up for each other. Sometimes Sophie grabs a hunk of Isabella's hair and pulls to which Isabella responds " my hairs okay".
Sophia shared her 1st ride in a swing with her big sister.
This was the week of the tu-tu. Isabella wore it rain or shine both during the day and night. The tu-tu did not come off except for bath time.
Rushing out to check on her garden
waiting patiently at the gate
The garden is a magical place at 8am when the dew glistens as the sun peaks through the clouds. The birds and squirrels are busy enjoying an array are bird seed as they flutter about.
Isabella is our garden fairy. She comes out to water the plants every morning. Not only does Bell water the plants but she also gives the plants lots of love. She watches the strawberries and tomatoes as the ripen and even reads them books. Lucky plants, huh?
Tomatoes
Lettuce 
As a family we enjoy our backyard but unfortunately Isabella thought that included the street. Now I am excited to say we just got a fence!! To Isabella its like a giant play yard. And to Will and I we can now breathe a sigh of relief that Bell is safe in our yard. We also wondered how long it would take for Isabella to be able to reach the latch to open the door. Well, within a few hours of the fence being installed Isabella wanted to show me something...she said " I climb the fence Mommy"
My little monkey! and no she cant reach the latch yet (thank goodness)
On Earth Day we went green for an art project. The cardboard was recycled from a box and the painting utensils were all from our tree. Isabella enjoyed the new experience and made a beautiful piece of art.
Isabella and Sophia enjoy story time before a nap
Isabella thinks it fun to sleep in Sophie's bed and Bell can hop in there really fast! Here she is below in her sisters bed.
The next night was a repeat performance including her sisters paci
So proud of herself!
I am so proud of my sweet daughters. They are such a blessing.
Here are a few videos from the week... Enjoy!
