Sophia's First Hair Cut: February 16, 2009

Sophia and her friend Ashlee had a spa day together and got their hair cut. Sophia just got a little trim and a style. This first picture is the before picture.

Bird Watching

Sophia was being awfully quiet out in the kitchen this morning. I went out to check on her and found her in her diaper sitting in the window with the bird book open watching the birds. This was after she had been up from 3:30 am until 7:00 am when she took a short 40 minute snooze. She has had a fever and a cough since last Thursday and is on antibiotic for an ear infection. UGGHH! I can't wait until we can be healthy for a while. It seem like every two weeks someone is sick.

Sophie's turn

I decided to write a litttle about Sophia today. She is growing so fast and changing so much. She is such a stinker. She can always find trouble. We went to our pastor's house for supper Thursdy night and as soon as we walked in the door she was at the coffee table pointing at the candy dish and grunting for some candy. I don't even know how she knew what it was. When she wasn't strapped in the high chair she was finding candles, plants and other glass decorations to grab at. Of course she wasn't interested in any of the toys they had set out. We went outside after dinner and she was squirming to get down. Well, she found the only muddy spot in the yard and got mud all over her pants and her jacket. We just can't put her down or let her out of our sight for a second. At the same time, however, she is such a sweet heart. She loves to give hugs and kisses (even to big sister Ella). She also just loves her Daddy. When he isn't home and she hears a noise in another room or downstairs, she makes a bee-line for wherever the noise came from while squeeling and saying "Da-da. Da-da". No one can make her smile as big as daddy can (not even mommy). Her vocabulary at his point consists of ma-ma, da-da, ousigh (outside), nigh-nigh, ba-ba (for bye-bye and baby), Ella, stop, Pa-pa, and hiya. Oh, she also says uh-oh all of the time. In fact, Ella and I have kind of nicknamed her uh-oh. It just seems to suit her since she is so mischievous. Lately she has been walking around saying "wiggo wiggo wiggo". It is kind of funny and cute. She loves to walk around and climb on things. She is a little dare devil. Often she will be on a piece of furniture or a toy and just stand up and put her hands over her head. Her favorite thing to do is be outside. She loves going for walks and looking out the window. She doesn't really play with toys much with the exception of her flute. She also has a favorite super soft little blanket from Grandma Kerr that she affectionately calls nigh-nigh. "Thank you so much God for our little Sophie bug!"
