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!

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...."

A few videos!

Check out this video! Callie and Oscar always try to catch and eat bubbles! Sophia had more fun watching them than playing with the bubbles herself!

This is a short clip of Sophia's first ride in a swing!

9 months old!!

Today is Sophia's 9 month birthday! She is finally getting her two bottom teeth and is getting close to crawling and walking using supports! What a big girl!

Standing up all by herself!

She loves to play with this LeapFrog table.

On Sunday, I decided to skip cleaning the house and take my baby girl to the park! We have a little park near our house that has equipment for little kids and big kids. I took her here last summer, but she just slept in the stroller!

I actually went down the slide with her!

Her first time on a swing!

I put little puffs in her stroller tray and she chowed down while we walked along the trail.

Look at that face!

Doesn't that look like fun!
