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!

Visit with the Joey Gilbert's

After Lindsay's baby shower, Sophia and I headed to Continental! We went to visit my Uncle Joey and his family (Aunt Bridget, Maggie, Brandon & Emily) who were visiting from Missouri. My mom, Perry, Uncle Gary Aunt Moipone, Wesley, Conor & Bagee all got together to visit, eat good food and open Christmas presents!

Brandon reading his Thomas the Tank Engine books!

We tried to get a snapshot of the youngest cousins..... do you see how well it turned out! Maybe another time :)

8 months old!

This is Sophia's official 8 month photo! She now has enough hair for a little clip!

Aunt Becca stopped by for a visit on her way home from drill (she is in the Army Reserves). I had just picked up Sophia from the sitter's because she had a fever. Becca put her dog tags on Sophia - she loved them!

Sophia all dressed up for Annie's birthday party!

Lindsay's Baby Shower

In early March, Sophia and I headed to Celina for Lindsay's baby shower! Lindsay and I share an office at work and over the past few years have become very good friends. She and Jason are expecting their first baby, a little girl, on May 1st. We had a good time and can't wait to meet their little one!

Sophia & Anna - a day in pictures!

Today Manda and I took the girls to have their 8 month & 2 year pictures taken! We had a great time and got some fantastic pictures as well! We went to Portrait Innovations in Worthington and I would recommend them to anyone.
