MLK Weekend

It is cold here in Salt Lake, 19 degrees F currently and colder at night. It's nice to bunker down with the family and ride it out. I have yet to get out skiing, too cold and we still are waiting for the epic storm. My neighbors tell me Alta is not crowded and the skiing is decent but not what we live in Utah for.

This weekend I am spending a lot of time studying for the CFP. I am aiming to take the test in July. There is a ton of material to cover so we'll see how it goes.

Sofie is getting more loquacious each day. I will need some help saying "no" to that face. When she's old enough to read this she will already have figured out how to control us. A smile here, a coo there, kicking and flopping everywhere..... WHAT A RIDE!! Last night we had our first scare. A dog took a nip at her. She was fine but Oliwia wasn't. Oliwia and I make a great team, she panics and I try to maintain the cool. When she came in the door after the snip, I would have thought that we need to go to the emergency room. Not the case at all. Sofie was just a little tired and hungry and calmed down immediately after Dad took over. I think she was actually more frightened by Mom's startled reaction. I took over parenting for the night and Oliwia went back over to the neighbors to enjoy the rest of the evening. I know that Sofie will have bumps and bruises along the way, she'll be fine. We might need some Valium for Oliwia though :). The night completed with Sofie sleeping through the night completely for the first time. We're talking in bed at 9 pm and up at 7 am, no midnight feeding required.
