A Day in the Park
Ahhh, summertime is here! The end of the year was a tad hectic, but another school year is in the books and now my only concern is to take Sophie to the park, to swim with Sophie, to play with Sophie, and read my Kindle. Did I mention hang out with Sophie? We took a family walk to the park a few evenings ago, she loves the swing and slide (with Daddy, of course).

Spash-a-palooza 2011
Bath time is so.much.FUN! Lou Lou loves playing and splashing and getting her face wet. Sweet water baby! I can't wait to take her swimming this summer!

Jump up, jump up, and get DOWN!
Maybe its just because she's my kid, but this made me laugh and laugh and laugh!
Also, coming later this week, an in-depth book review of "Hungry Caterpillar" by Sophie Lou

Princess Cupcake
Greeting royal subjects,I am Princess Cupcake, the princess of all that is Easter and all that is pink. I, along with my trust bunny friend, will rule with baby babbling and will provide cheerios for all. Until I'm tired and cranky and then I will let mommy take over ruling the kingdom. Being a princess is hard!
She almost gives me a cavity....how fluffy and girly and obnoxious is this dress? Eek!The Easter bunny came and gave Sophie her first picture Bible, and some chocolate bunnies (for mommy, no?) and a new toy to chew on. Its so hard to imagine next year she will be able to look for eggs and eat ham and say "He is risen indeed!"
7 months looks good on our little Lou, still no teeth despite a month of teething. She loves food food food food food, and kicks her little feet and waves her arms when she sees the baby spoon. She also had her first cheerios this weekend, which she really likes! She sits on her own all of the time now, and even tries to crawl a little when she's on her tummy. She's getting the idea, slowly but surely.
She LOVES her babysitter, and is happy as a clam almost everyday I pick her up. As great as Abby is (and she is AMAZING by the way) I'm counting the days until school is out and I can hang with Sophie every day! We've got lots of summer plans, including going to the park, going swimming, visiting Nana, and spending time in intense prayer that someone will buy our house.
Maybe this week I will have some job news? Stay tuned, I will keep you in the loop.

And she sits upon her throne
Sorry for the little posting break from blogging, I blame state assessments and general stress. Not that there's anything stressful about moving in 3 months, nobody looking at our house, no place to live in Manhattan yet, no job for me, no financial aid secured for Tim, and I ran out of diet coke yesterday. Are those things stressful??
Oh, and this makes me smile today: the Pioneer Woman is getting her own cooking show on Food Network! I LOVE her! I may consider getting cable again just to watch it.......
Sophie is growing and changing and becoming more and more awesome every day!
She sits totally unsupported now, which is just cute; she's like a little person now instead of just a baby. My aunt bought her this ridiculously adorable chair with her name on it, and she loves loves loves sitting on it and watching the world. She also will sit in front of a mirror for about 30 minutes playing with her reflection. Cheapest babysitter I can find!
Her official 6 month pics are back and they are SOOOO beautiful. I honestly cried happy tears a little because they just captured her so perfectly. Hop on over to On the Wall Photography and look at the blog to see my little beautiful girl. More pics to come soon!
6 months came and went, we gave her some cake to celebrate. Just kidding, she got a tub of sweet potatoes instead. I'm pretty sure she thinks about them the same way I think about cake! Her hands shake, and she kicks her feet, she smiles and opens her mouth SUPER big. If you've ever eaten cake with me, you'd see the resemblance.
She is DESTROYING food now, and she loves (almost) everything we give her! Green beans, avocado, sweet potato, squash, oatmeal, apples, and pears! We crossed apple juice and peas off the list, those are NOT delicious according to her.
She's such a happy baby, and being a mommy is just.....divine. I was designed to do this. I'm FAR from perfect, and my patience needs some more work, but the joy and purpose this girlie girl gives me....its better than Standard of Excellence in BOTH reading and math (teacher friends, you know how life-changing THAT can be). I'm already looking forward to growing our family more.....ok not THIS MONTH, but sooner rather than later!

Sitting and bottles and baths, oh my!
I'm sure its not news to anyone that I'm disorganized, and I have AGAIN lost the battery charger for our camera battery. Luckily, I found one on Amazon for $4.00, so its on its way, but that explains the lack the cuteness quota for the month. I'll make up for it with some videos instead!
Sophie is 6 months old now, and she's SO.MUCH.FUN! This stage of learning and exploring and smiling is so funny. She sits unsupported now, and with the occasional flop over she does really well! Bath time is now a 20 minute playtime, and she loves watching water being dumped out of a cup. It makes her giggle so much; I doubt she will be so easily entertained in the years to come. She will also pass a toy from one hand to the other over....and over....and over...and over....and then look at me with a huge grin.....she's such a cute goober!
She likes to hold her own bottle, but isn't too efficient yet. We're using the sippy cup in the evenings for practice and she loves being Ms. Independent! She also LOVES food; we've moved on to cereal in the morning and food in the evening. So far she's destroyed avocado, green beans, sweet potatoes, and we're getting ready for butternut squash tonight. Again, she likes to help feed herself and hold the spoon, and again she's rather inefficient, but it makes for funny pictures (that I will take next week after my battery is charged!)
So here are a few videos of the bottle holding, and bathtime, and sitting in her new chair (thanks Aunt Cissy! She LOVES it!)
