27 years

It was my birthday last Thursday and it was a nice one. Mike plan a dinner with some family at one of my favorite restaurant Mimi's Cafe. It was super delish! Thanks for making it such a nice day babe!



What do you think that Sophie is thinking about in this shot?

If this is not girly…

I don’t know what is. Sophie was playing at her cousin’s house and saw her cousin Mia put on a tutu, so of course Sophie needed one too. I love this first shot because not only is wearing the tutu, but she has a jump rope and pigtails!

Sophie also was enjoying making some pretend food.



This is Mia trying to find “the cool song” on the CD player. There were three disks and she went through song by song until she found “the cool song.” I don’t think she really knew which is was, but she was looking for it anyway.


Benji also got in on the dress up action.

Coloring and Chipmunk Cheeks

I am just catching up posting because thing have been crazy busy. This is from Nov. 24th. Sophie has started to enjoy coloring. She only is interested for about 5 minutes at a time and there has been some biting/eating of crayon. Here she is coloring and also eating (food not crayons.) Sophie also will hold food in her month for as long as an hour. She puts it all in at one time and then will leave it there until she either eats it or spits it out.

Sophie's First Snowy Playtime

Back on the 6th we got our first big snow of the season. (Since then we have gotten a lot more!)
Living on a large corner lot we have a lot of area to shovel. It wasn't too bad, it took Mike and I about 20 minutes to do it all including our driveway and stairs. Even with all the snow, it turned out to be a nice day so we decided to take Sophie out to play. This was the first time she really has played in the snow. Last year she was too little to enjoy it. After bundling up, we headed out. I think that she really liked it. She just went right for it. I think she was a little annoyed that she kept falling over, but other then that she was having a good time. Here are a few shots from our outing.


Daddy is pull the sled. I rode with her first, but she got the hang of it quick and I think it was her favorite part of the snow.

These two shot (above and below) I thought were really cute.


Our Little Snow Angel



This was right before we came in. She was done.
