Golfing with Daddy...

Weather was perfect with a slight breeze and Sophie loved riding in the cart without being buckled in her seat. So much so, she was perfectly content sitting or standing right next to me the entire two hours.

Luckily, Dad wasn't disturbed by Sophie's sudden outbursts and played a fantastic game...[wink, wink]. Love you Honey. :)





She loved keeping score and soon found the residents had DOGS and SQUIRRELS on their lawn!!





Thanks again Daddy for letting us tag along. We very much enjoyed the outing.

Have a great week everybody!!

Happy Mother's Day!!...

Started Mother's day weekend Friday when my Hubby brought flowers and a huge cookie cake home. Sophie MUCH enjoyed this tasty treat!! Thanks Dad!





Saturday we took a trip to a strawberry field and picked fresh berries. Sophie enjoyed watching us pick them while she dropped them in the bucket. She'd sneak a quick lick on a couple before putting them in too. Guess she had to make sure they were edible before we took them home, eh?











And, of course, the end result...



Had a great weekend and I can't thank my family enough for making me feel so special everyday. Happy Mother's Day, again, to all the wonderful Mommy's out there. Hope your day was fantastic!!

Love, love, love!!

The checkup...

Today was Sophie's 15 month checkup and the last of her 12 month shots. Shots are never fun and she has a HUGE fear of strangers right now so the visit was anything but exciting. I have to admit her Doctor is the sweetest most understanding person so I have to thank her for being so patient.



On to the specs...she's grown to 29 inches [up two inches] and weighs 21 pounds. Still a little shrimp!! No worries from Doc and she thinks Sophie will be walking within a few weeks. [AHHH!!] I thought I was prepared for this milestone but I think I may be in for it with this one. More to come...

And here is the cutest video of Sophie laughing at Sampson chasing bubbles...



Happy Wednesday!!

Fifteen Months...

Sophie seems bigger...a hair taller, maybe, and she might weigh slightly more considering how many strawberries she can eat in one setting. She wants to walk and talk so bad it kills us to watch her try. She likes to lean her back against the couch or ottoman and practice her new found "standing with no hands" ability. She can even back up to the steps and crawl down each one until she reaches the bottom!





She's a copy-catter. She loves to sit in her little people chairs and has pretty much figured out how to get in/out of them all by herself. She does "cheese" for the camera showing all her pearly whites. And we blow kisses to Daddy when he has to leave town. Our wagon from Rammie and Rampa is so cool. Lady Antebellum is her new favorite band. Daddy is the best jungle gym. And Mommy...well I'm just Mommy but she does like to sit in my lap anytime I sit on the floor with her.





We were in Myrtle Beach visiting Grandpa Tom, recently, and came across a kite shop after eating some great pizza. Here is Sophie's monkey kite and her reaction when Daddy got it flying. Wind didn't last long so luckily we were at the park to play afterwards.







And FINALLY...The Lunar Module I have been waiting patiently for my Dad to finish. Wow...this picture doesn't even do justice for the intricate details you can see up close. Thanks Dad!



Happy Monday! Hope everyone has an awesome week! Love, love, love.
