So Sorry...

Didn't post enough pictures of Princess Sophie!! SHEESH!



She'll be SEVEN MONTHS old next week!! Her hair is growing, growing and she's a bouncer!

Weekend Fun...

With a visit from Sophie's "Gandma" we decided to venture out and explore. Left Friday afternoon for Wilmington and walked up and down the Wrightsville Sound checking out the HUGE condos and fishing boats. Finished up the evening eating at King Neptune. Saturday we strolled around The Cotton Exchange where shopping is endless and the USS North Carolina is directly across the street!!



Visited Chapel Hill on Sunday, walking throughout the UNC campus. Then, my wonderful Hubby, took us to A Southern Season which is an awesome "Gourmet Market"...fancy. To end the day we drove to New Hill about 12 miles from our house to check out the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant. Definitely a CRAZY site to see.

Had a fantastic visit with Vicky. Sophie gave hugs and loved when Gandma would sing songs! And her new spatulas were pretty fun too! Hope to see you again soon Mrs. Vicky...Take care and bring Papa John next time!!!



The Leary family is headed to Midland next week!!! So exciting!!!

Have a great week! Lots of love to everyone reading!

In addition...

Sophie had her six month checkup a couple days ago. She weighs in at 16.9 pounds and grew to 25.5 inches long. Another round of shots, of course, but she's all better now. I am happy to report she still loves us...PHEW! No more shots for SEVERAL months...YIPPEE! More awesome news...SECOND tooth has made it's way through!!! So exciting!!

Crazy Hair Lady...


She's sitting up on her own [with supervision since she's still a little wobbly]. She loves books and all the colorful pictures. Oh and loves, LOVES ice cream! Definitely a "must share" around our house. No worries though...she only gets a couple micro-bites. We're awaiting a visit from Mike's Mom aka "Gandma" next week and gearing up for FOOTBALL SEASON!!!

Waiting for Dad to share his ice cream...


After ice cream...


AND...we wanted to send out a ***CONGRATULATIONS*** to Eric and Mary Jane on their engagement this past weekend. We look forward to the wedding in MEXICO next year!!! WOO-HOO!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend ahead! Happy Friday!!!



Love, love, love!

6 Months...

Sophie is six months old...so sad! She is no longer our little newborn. We've been super busy but we're all back home and taking it easy as a little family. Newest and most important update...Sophie cut her FIRST TOOTH!!! She's been making funny faces while feeling this new apparatus. Too cute! She loves bath time and has become quite the little eater. Although we've found that carrots are a NO GO! She totally retches on them, gives her chills and all. Almost sitting up on her own and she loves to touch her Daddy's face and hug his neck.





My Mom aka "Rammie" visited a couple weeks ago. Sophie MUCH enjoyed this visit as she was spoiled rotten...but, how could you not?!?! Company was great for us since Mike was off in Canada for a week. When Mike returned we all took a road trip to New Bern that weekend to visit GGB [great-grandma Becky] and toured the historic downtown area. Fun, fun!!





A week later Sophie and I traveled back home to little 'ole Lubbock. She got to visit lots of family and friends and couldn't get enough. Smiles the entire trip!! Plane ride there was not so bad but someone has become quite the sleep fighter and flights home were much harder. I'm pretty sure I will NEVER travel alone again. I haven't found my brain since becoming pregnant and forgot my camera so I'll post pictures of this trip when I get them!! Here are a few randoms to keep you occupied for now...
