Tis the Season...

The Raleigh Christmas Parade kicked off the holiday season this morning. Much larger show than expected and was great fun seeing old vintage cars and trucks, huge balloons, marching bands, all kinds of floats and cartoon characters. Sophie was all bundled with her leaf, yes a LEAF, in tow. [she found a fallen leaf and DID NOT want to "leaf it behind"...haha...okay, okay...I never claimed to be a comedian..SHEESH!] Anywho - we stayed for nearly two hours and finally felt cold enough to head back to the truck to thaw. Sophie had a BLAST!













Happy Weekend to everyone reading!! Love.

GO RED RAIDERS!!!

Little Update...

Fabulous check-up today at Dr. Tabrizi's office. Sophie is as healthy as can be weighing in at 18.6 lbs and 27 inches long. No vaccines today either so she was a happy camper! Busy week with Rammie in town last week...lots of laughing, talking and SHOPPING! [Thanks again!!!]



Road trip to see GGB in New Bern and a visit to the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium. The river otters and stingrays put on a big show and Miss Sophie LOVED to watch.







A long time "Doumeng Family Tradition" says whomever spots the first tooth must buy a new pair of shoes for the youngster...Mom was the culprit in Sophie's cause...check out her new Converse. SWEET!


[Oh Yeah - WOO-HOO YANKEES!!!]

Hope everyone reading has a great week. Love.

Nine Months...

Sophie is NINE months old! Such a big girl too...she loves to sing and dance and will start whenever/wherever music is playing. She tries so hard to crawl but looks more like an inch worm, scooting around on her back and belly. She likes to point out your face features [nose, eyes, lips and teeth] and can wave "Bye-Bye" and "Hi". She could probably eat a whole bag [along with her Daddy] of strawberry yogurt melts...with that being said we've started to brush her two teeth and gums every morning and night...she absolutely LOVES to brush her teeth!!!



Umm...no weigh-ins yet...she'll go to her 9 month checkup soon so we'll see then! She's taking a liking to her new "BIG GIRL" seat in the car. I'm probably the worst parent in the world but she was just ready to see the world...from a front view.



We're awaiting a visit from "Rammie" today! She's visiting Miss Sophie until SUNDAY!! YIPPEE! Then, we're off to Breckenridge for Thanksgiving, later this month. We're still praying for Papa John and hope he continues to make a FULL RECOVERY! See you soon Papa John!! We love you!





Have a great week!! Happy November!! Love, love, love!

GO YANKEES!!!!!!
