President of the Sophie Fan Club

I know people always say how their little ones idolize older siblings, but I never really knew how early it happened. First, Addison gets very happy any time I set her down in Sophie's bed. It's as if she thinks she's a big girl, in a big girl bed. But, when Sophie also gets in the bed, she lights up like a Christmas tree.

(I am going to treasure every sweet little moment like this and hope that its a really long time before I hear "get her out of my room!!!!")

Little Farmer

This year I was hoping that planting a few vegetables together would encourage Sophie that veggies could be yummy. We didn't get to plant as much as I would have liked but we have had quite a few yellow squash and lots of yummy tomatoes. Sophie chose the watermelon plants and she was extremely happy when I let her a pick a couple to see if they were ready. (Yes, she's in her pajamas. We tend to do a lot of things around here in pjs!)

11 weeks and a Whoo Hoo

Now I know I am probably jinxing myself and I completely know that this may be a fluke, BUT....this little sweetie slept until 6:40am this morning!!!! (After her 10:30pm feeding) I don't think Sophie did this until she was practically 5 months old. Now I realize it could change in a heart beat but for one lovely day if one of those snotty mothers comes up to me and says "Is she sleeping through the night yet?," I get to say, "why, yes she is. How about yours?" Hee hee.

(PS. Thanks Aunt Julie for my cute, cute outfit. As you can see, I look adorable! Love, Addison)

Ewwwww

I do a lot of activities with Sophie, but there are some activities that are better suited for a Daddy. Today's activity was one....."Snakes Alive" at the library. As you can see from these pictures, Sophie had an absolute blast! Me...well, I get the heebie jeebies just looking at the pictures! Thank goodness for Daddies!

Our Babies

Sophie has never been a girl that loved baby dolls. Lately, however, she seems to be taking an interest in doing the things she sees Mommy doing with Addison. If Addison plays on her little play mat, then so does Sophie's baby. If Addison has tummy time, then Sophie's baby needs tummy time too.

I am trying to get a picture of Addison doing Tummy Time below, but her big sister still assumes every picture is about her. When she saw the camera, she quickly squeezed through to make sure she was in the shot.

Just Cute

The 4th of July

We all had a great time at Mom and Dad's house for the 4th! Sophie and Mackenzie had a particularly great time playing outside all day...not even coming in for lunch. What were they doing that was so great? Swimming in the pool...no.....Riding bikes....no....

Making MUD in Nana and Grandad's newly trenched natural areas, of course!
