Hmmm....

One of these things is not like the other

Sophie woke up the other day with her eye swollen.
She is better now. We think it was a bug bite.

Sophie turned 11 months old last Friday. She has been doing so many new things. I caught a few of them on video for you to see.

Pigtails!

Sophie now has enough hair for some little pigtails!


This is her mad because I won't let her play with the camera. She cute even when she's mad.

Catch Up Post

I know that I have had a lot going on, but I feel like I have been a bad blogger. Poor little Sophie has had so many monumental occasions and I have failed to record most of them in both photos and words. Let me think, what has been going on?

Sophie has...
gotten two more teeth in for a total of 6. (Four on the top and two on the bottom)
fallen and bumped her head enough to leave a mark at least twice
a new front facing car seat for one of the cars, the other car still has the rear-facing
tasted veggie chips, pickles, strawberries, and a bunch of other grown up foods
slept in her own room
learned to climb up the stairs, but not down
climbed out of her walker
learned to remove her bib when she is done eating

Sophie likes to...
uses the crib at a teething toy
tried to make Bjorn her best friend by following him every where
been talking non-stop including, ma ma, da da, a, b, yeah, wow, and very high pitched screams
play peek-a-boo
talk on the phone
crawl toward the bathroom and chance she gets


Our favorite things about Sophie
she almost always sleeps through the night
she is happy most of the time
she loves to play with you
she has a great smile and beautiful blue eyes
did we say that she has beautiful blue eyes?

Other happening in our life.
We are still unpacking and
getting settled into our new house.

Landscaping the New House

In case you haven't seen the pictures of my "yard" on my mom's blog here they are. Some of the weeds are over 6 feet tall.

Mike spend a few hours and was only able to get down some of the weeds on the front side of the house.


Yesterday Mike rented a tractor and dragged the yard for a couple hours. It made a big difference. He has the tractor all day today too. Here are some pictures that I took this morning.
