Spring 2011

Sophie is walking/running, talking, dancing, laughing and keeping us busy. This summer was filled with a bunch of new things for all of us and watching my little lovie explore the world has given me so much happiness and joy. I am trying to soak up every minute so I have let other things slip through the cracks like blogging. Sophie learned to walk at just 9 1/2 months. Which means I haven't had a chance to sit down, enjoy a meal, update the blog or do anything but chase her around 24/7!  She is on the move and ready to explore EVERYTHING. Which we are in full support of most of the time. We also took her on her first plane trip to Spokane Washington for my cousins wedding. We had a great time visiting family that we haven't seen in a long time. Summer was filled with fun, friends, and family time.  Here are some fun photos that documenting our first Summer together as a family. 

Mother's Day

Thank you to my mom for teaching me how to be a good mom to Sophie

Steve made my first Mother's Day so special. My Mom was out of town so Steve made sure the day was all about me. He bought me a very beautiful Sapphire and Diamond necklace and earrings. Then Sophie and Steve took me to breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast spots Bonjour Cafe. He made sure I didn't lift a finger and we spent the day together as a family which was all I wanted. Thank you to my amazing husband for making my first Mother's Day so special one I will never forget. Thank you to my amazing daughter for making me a mom. It is the best and most important title I will ever have. I love you Sophie more than words can express. You fill my heart with more love every day.

So much has been going on in the past few months I don't know where to begin. Sophie has grown up so fast. She is getting so big I can't believe that my baby girl is already 7 months. Here are just a few new things that Sophie is doing. We are eating solids and loving them. She is loving food this girl is an eater just like her papa. She has 6 teeth already, she is crawling all over and pulling herself up on the furniture. We have her in mommy and me swim class once a week and she loves it. To watch her splash and play is so much fun. I think we may have a future swimmer or diver. Every day she is doing something new. We are so proud of our little girl she continues to light up our life with her infectious smile and happy demeanor. Steve and I also went away for the first time and left our little one with her Omi for the weekend. Glad to say we all survived and look forward to taking our Sophie girl with us next time. Here are some pics to show you just how grown up my little 7 month old is.

Sophie's Baptism

We were so excited to have Sophie baptized in the Catholic church. It was such a special day for Steve and I to see our baby girl enter into the Catholic faith. It was wonderful to be surrounded by family and friends. Thank you to everyone who came to share this special day with us. Thank you Carolyn and James we love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our lives. Sophie is so lucky to have such amazing role models as her godparents.

Sophie

Wow I am so behind on my blogging here are some updated photos of Sophie and some old ones from her newborn shoot I just stumbled upon. Leslie from www.clickchicksphotography.com took them.. I can't believe she is so big already. This girl has the best personality happy almost all the time. She loves to smile and laugh. She just learned how to roll over and is eating baby food now. Where does the time go I cannot believe she is going to be 5 months next week. We are so blessed to have this little love light up our lives every day.
