Bowling adventure

We took Sophie bowling on the last day of the year that she was born. She enjoyed herself. Dad bowled 2 excellent games. Mom, on the other hand, had probably the 2 worst games she'd ever played...in her life. What's important is that we had a blast and Soph was very well behaved (much better than the little girl a couple of aisles over!).

Violet...among other things

My Pal Violet is really neat (or My Pal Scout if you're a boy)! I would highly recommend it. Soph is in love with her. :)

On another note, Sophie had her 9 month check up this morning. She is "perfect" and "chill" according to Dr. Reiser. He couldn't get over how good she was the whole HOUR we were there. The wait was a bit excessive, considering our appointment was at 8:30....and that was the earliest appointment.  Oh well.

Our girl is 27 1/4 inches long, 19.2 pounds, and her head was 17 1/2 inches in circumference. She's growing like wild. As you can see, she was impressed with herself! Luckily, no shots today. Mama and Dada were happy about that!

Sophie's first Dec. 25th

We got a new camera for Christmas...these are some of my favorite pictures.

(I'll have pictures from Christmas Eve once I upload them from the old camera.)

Mama is LOOOOOVING those toofers....and she's loving her new drum

yes, that's right. KatNatt got an iPhone for Christmas. Me=jealous

this girl loves her Dada...especially when he does this!

I can't believe she's big enough for this! she looks hesitant, but she LOVES it!

Santa ate his cookies and milk...AND he left Sophie a note!

I thought this Sing-a-ma-jig was super creepy. Sophie is obsessed with it.

Uncle Bub gave Soph a mowhawk. He was rocking a fauxhawk.

My Grandpa gave me this rocking chair when I was a little one...now it's Soph's!

This is her new talent. The scowl. Uh oh!

Merry Christmas!

Got the Christmas cards printed yesterday, and they're all in envelopes. Just need to pick up the stamps and drop them in the mail. I made approximately 7 cards this year - it was hard narrowing it down to THE card. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the runner up. Hope your card arrives before too long! :)
