Happy Baby


I couldn't finish a blog without a new picture of our happy baby.....

A Full Weekend


This past weekend we drove down to Madison, IN to visit our new nephew Landon. As you can see in the picture he is so small. It is hard to believe that Sophia was ever that little. Landon spent most of his time sleeping, but Sophia did some rolling, some rasberries, and some football watching (I got to go shopping on Sunday so Sophie spent the day with her dad). Sophia is now trying very hard to clap her hands and she has started holding the bottle by herself (sort of). She still loves her jumperoo and I anticipate her crawling anyday. She still doesn't have teeth or hair. I had to have a little talk with her prior to seeing Landon so she wouldn't be jealous of all of his hair. Until next time........

New Addition- and it is not my flower!!


We happily welcomed a new addition to our extended family today. Sir Landon Allen True was born this afternoon after what his mother, I am sure, would say was the longest pregnancy in history! Landon was born weighing in at approximately 8lbs and was 21 inches long. He is the first boy born to my side of the family. He is now resting quietly in his mothers room sucking on a pacifier.

This past weekend Sophia and I drove to Madison for a visit and did a little shopping in the boutiques downtown. That is where we found her flower band. Oh but don't worry about her getting a cold head in the winter because we got her a white hat with a big flower as well. The visit went great. I think Sophia is getting a lot more comfortable around other people besides Josh and I. Sophia is now sitting up by herself for the most part with the occassional topple. She now loves loves loves what are called "Biter Biscuits". I think they are just messy. No teeth yet, but lots of drool.

Hope everyone is well. Take care. Until next time............

Go Tigers!!


Poor Sophia doesn't stand a chance of becoming a cheerleader or a dancer or a princess. With her dad and uncles so obsessed with sports (real and fantasy) she will have only the options of basketball, volleyball, softball, and anything else that may involve dirt or injuries. I can't lie, that isn't all that bad because I myself am not the cheerleader type. This weekend we traveled to Michigan to visit Josh's family and went to the Tigers game. Sophia didn't go but as you can see Josh made sure to pick her up a souvenier.

Sophia has come a long way since her drive to Hilton Head, SC. That might have been the longest 10 hours of my life. Luckily the trip to Michigan this weekend was a lot better. She slept nearly the whole way and didn't really fuss at all. Now I am hoping that she will sleep for the entire night (because it is my night). Highly unlikely, but I love her the same. Until next time.............
