Thanksgiving Glamore Shots

Thanks to Angie I have these beautiful memories!!!

This is Sophie and me at the Salt Lake Temple (Mike had to work)


These cute pictures are thanks to Suzy's front porch display.

Four Months Old

Sophie turned four months last week and yesterday had her doctor's appointment. She is now 13lbs 3.5oz and 24 inches tall. She is still in the 50th percentile for her weight and head size, but has moved to the 75th percentile for her height. The doctor says she is looking great. We really like our pediatrician, he is pretty funny. He always tells us the "book" answer first and then what everyone really does. We talked about starting to introduce solid foods, but we are not going to till she is at least 5 months (which is only in a few weeks from now).

Sophie has started to roll from her tummy to her back and is getting closer with rolling the other direction. She smiles all the time and is still such a good baby. The only time you don't want to cross her is when food is taken from her. It doesn't matter if she has had 1 oz or 100 oz she will scream when it is gone. As for diapering, my vote is Luvs!!! We switched from Huggies and the Luvs work so much better. They hold so much more and fit much better. Plus they are the same price as Luvs. (End commercial for Luvs)

Sophie is going to have her first Thanksgiving and Aunt Holly bought Sophie and Tayen (Tara and Ryan's newest addition) matching tops. We will have to get a picture of them together.

Yeah Turkey!

Sick today

Mike and I have food poisoning. We are pretty sure it was from a frozen pizza we ate last night for dinner. Needless to say we tried to go to work but left to work at home after an hour. I hate to be sick. Thanks Grandma Beaird for taking Sophie for us.

4th Annual Halloween Party

We had our 4th Annual Halloween Party. It was a blast. We played some games, ate some yummy food and had a good time. Here are a few of the costumes. (I didn't take that many pictures so you will have to check out other peoples blogs for more)

A Day at the Park

This was a couple weekends ago that we went to Sugar House Park and walked around. It was such a nice day and we just sat out on the lawn to enjoy the weather.

This Picture is for Grandpa Beaird. Hee Hee

Visit to Washington

Last weekend Sophie and I got to go to Washington. We went there to throw a bridal shower for my friend Cara who is getting married next month.


It was Sophie's first flight and she did great and slept almost the whole way both directions. While there we had a family dinner and got to see my cousin Michael's new little girl. Her name is Hazel and she is two months older then Sophie.


This is Rachael, Michael's wife, with Hazel and Sophie and me. Rachael you are so sweet. I am glad to have you in the family!!

Family Emergency

Last Friday Bjorn went missing. The landscapers had left the back gate open and Bjorn was able to get out. After two hours of looking for him, he some how managed to make his way back to the house. He was covered in mud head to paw and was slowly limping across the room. As I inspected him I could see that he had been hurt. When I touched his back he would yipe and cry. I rinsed him the best I could and then rushed him to the animal hospital. He was just lying there in pain as I held him while we waited for him to be treated. The doctor said that it was likely he had been hit by a car. He was in shock, his temperature was dropping and he was badly bruised over his whole body. The x-rays showed that his lungs were bleeding but he did not have any broken bones, which is amazing. They kept him overnight in an oxygen chamber and on an IV with fluids and morphine. We checked on him through out the night and they said that he had been eating some and seemed to be improving. On Saturday the vet cleared him to be sent home after the x-rays showed that the bleeding in his lungs had stopped and were starting to heal. So Bjorn is home now and getting better everyday. He is moving a little slower, but he seems to be coming around. We are so grateful that Bjorn is doing ok.


This is while we are waiting for the doctor.


It is hard to tell in this picture but you can see the bleeding under the skin.

Sophie and Tayen

Sophie has a new cousin Tayen Fai Beaird. They are 12 weeks apart and Sophie looks like a giant next to her. Tayen was 6 lbs 11 oz and 19" long and Sophie was 6 lbs 1 oz 18.5" long. I can't beleive that Sophie was smaller then Tayen.


The three girls Mia, Sophie and Tayen.

Almost three months old

Sophie is getting so big. She had her two month appointment last week (when she was actually 2 1/2 months) and she weighed 10lb 4oz and was 22.5" long. She is in the 50th percentile. The doctor said that the only advice he has is to not have any more children because Sophie is such a good baby.

It was cold this weekend so we busted out Sophie's little pink suit. We call it the coma suit because when she is in it, she just falls asleep.

Baby Blessing Sept 28, 2008

I have been a slacker when it comes to posting on my blog. I guess I am adjusting to going back to work and being a mommy. Plus I couldn't find the camera charger. Well I could continue to list a million reasons but instead I will tell you what has been going on.

On September 28, 2008 Sophia Emilee Beaird was blessed by her Dad, Uncles, and Friends. It was a beautiful blessing and a great time to have family together.


That day was doublely special because Dmitri Donald Fedderson was also blessed by his dad, uncles and friends. Dmitri and Sophie are exactly three weeks apart.


This was the first time that my dad, little brother, grandma, uncle Leif and aunt Donna had seen Sophie. It was great to have them all there to share our joy of having Sophie in our life.


This is a picture of 4 generations.


Sophie is smiling at her daddy. I think that this is the look that he will see when she wants something from daddy. I think that he will be a pushover when it comes to getting something for his little girl.
