6 weeks and 5 pounds later

During her visit to her pediatrician-godfather last Tuesday, February 20, 2007, everybody was surprised to find out that Sofia gained 5 pounds in 6 weeks. No wonder mommy's beginning to have a hard time carrying baby. Keep up the weight gain Sofia!

6-in-1 immunization

Sofia visited Ninong Arneil last Tuesday, February 20, 2007. This was only her second trip outside of our home and third car trip since her birth. She had her vaccination and was all grown up about it. We were all happily surprised that she shrugged off the shot. No more tears. Great going Sofia!

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market
(Wiggle baby's big toe)

This little piggy stayed home
(Wiggle baby's second toe)

This little piggy had roast beef
(Wiggle baby's third toe)

This little piggy had none
(Wiggle baby's fourth toe)

This little piggy cried "wee, wee, wee"
All the way home.
(Wiggle baby's little toe,
then tickle all the toes as you
'walk' your fingers back to the big toe)

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

One for the master,
One for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

Lullaby, and Good Night (Brahms' Lullaby)

Lullaby, and good night,
With pink roses bedight,
With lilies o'erspread,
Is my baby's sweet head.
Lay you down now, and rest,
May your slumber be blessed!
Lay you down now, and rest,
May thy slumber be blessed!

Lullaby, and good night,
You're your mother's delight,
Shining angels beside
My darling abide.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.

Sleepyhead, close your eyes.
Mother's right here beside you.
I'll protect you from harm,
You will wake in my arms.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear.

Lullaby, and sleep tight.
Hush! My darling is sleeping,
On his sheets white as cream,
With his head full of dreams.
When the sky's bright with dawn,
He will wake in the morning.
When noontide warms the world,
He will frolic in the sun.

Sunny Day

Sunny day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet.

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

Come and play
Everything's A-OK
Friendly neighbors there
That's where we'll meet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To happy people like you--
Happy people like

What a beautiful
Sunny day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street...
How to get to Sesame Street
How to get to...

Ernie (Jim Henson) - RUBBER DUCKIE

Rubber Duckie you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you

Rubber Duckie joy of joys
When I squeeze you, you make noise
Rubber Duckie you're my very best friend it's true
I find a little fellow who's cute and yellow and chubby
Rub a dub dubby
Rubber Duckie you're so fine and I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber Duckie I'd like a whole pond of you
Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you
