A bunch of pictures!

Too many pictures to make separate posts! Sophia is growing so fast, we just can't believe it! Her personality is coming through loud and strong!! She now has her two bottom teeth and 3 top teeth, can crawl VERY well and is getting better and better at walking behind toys and standing alone!!

Doesn't she look like she has a tan?

"Hi daddy!"
This her official 10 month picture! 10 months......WOW!

I actually got to give her a bath this week while daddy was at work! Of course I grabbed the camera to get a quick picture. I love the hair-do! It's hard to imagine she used to take a bath in our bathroom sink just a few months ago.

"Yes mommy?"

"hahaha! I can do it!"

She loves to ride on this little car. She can even move backwards all by herself!

We took a walk around our little "neighborhood" one afternoon. I took these pictures looking up through her stroller.

"Do I have to wear a hat?"

What a big big girl!

Patrick took this picture with my new video camera (that also can take still shots!).

Trip to the Zoo

We went to the Zoo on Mother's Day and so did the rest of Columbus! We had a great time and even Sophia noticed some of the bigger animals and would point to them and smile. Other than our trip to see the Wild Lights in December, this was our first official Zoo visit!

Oh, and Sophia (& Patrick!) gave me a video camera for Mother's Day! YEAH :)

"Mommy, are we there yet??"

The flamingos!
Uncle Jim works at the zoo and came to see us while we were there!!!

The PENGUINS!!!! Sophia LOVES her little toy penguin at home!

We were looking at the monkeys!

Sophia & Daddy having fun at the zoo

Walking....almost!

Afew weeks ago I came home to Patrick telling me to watch Sophia walk around the room behind her stroller. I didn't want to watch because that would mean my baby is just one more step closer to not being a baby anymore! Well these days it is hard not to atch because she wants to "walk" everywhere and she is pretty good at it!! This video is of her first try.

Isn't this funny!?!

Sophia's laugh is contagious! She was not happy about me shoving the "snot remover" up her nose, so I pretended to use it on myself. Obviously she found it pretty amusing!

She can crawl!!!

She started crawling on April 17th and hasn't stopped since! Recently she has started walking behind toys (I'll post that later!)

Visit with Bito!

This past weekend my dad, Tina and Sarah came to visit and spend time with Sophia. We had a good time eating Donatos pizza and playing Clue!

Sophia with Bito

Lost in thought! What to play with next??

"Hi Mommy!"

Saturday Night Fever!

Poor Sarah being attacked by Oscar!

Don't you love the cone! He got in a fight with another dog (he provoked it!) and ended up with a few stitches.

Playing patti-cake with Sarah

So much has been going on!

Hello Everyone! We have been very busy lately and here are just a few of the pictures to show what we have been up to!

Lindsay & Jason welcomed their new little one, Leighton Renee, on April 24th!

We are very excited for them and can't wait to watch Sophia & Leighton play and grow up together!

Now doesn't this look like fun!
Nicki, Miranda and I recently attended a Theta Reunion at Ohio Northern! We were able to ride together and spend time catching up as well as check out the new Theta housing and visit with old friends!

This is Sophia enjoying watermelon for the first time! She was going to town on this poor watermelon rind!

Leigh Ann & Sophia, Miranda, Nicki & Evan
Miranda thought Sophia needed to practice carrying a purse! Sophia has been asking for one ever since!
A few weeks ago I picked Sophia up from the sitters and because they had been outside to play, Debbie lathered her up with sunscreen. The side effect was a MOHAWK!
Yummy shoes!
Awww....

In March we had a group of friends from Northern over to visit! It's hard to get all the girls and their husbands together on the same day, but a few times a year we manage it! We had a great time catching up and spending time together. Sophia and Evan had a good time too!

"Look over there Evan....do you see it?"

"I guess he didn't see it afterall!" "Oh well...."
