I love my flower

This past weekend our friends Lydia, Drew, and their baby boy JJ came to town for a visit. We had a great time. Lydia and I did some shopping and the guys, you guessed it, watched football. The babies played, ate, slept, and pooped. The weekend went by way too fast.

Sophia has a huge appetite right now. She polishes off jars and jars of baby food, and she just loves "wagon wheels", although they are very messy. She still isn't crawling, and to be completely honest I don't think she will. She gets so mad when we put her on her belly. She would much rather bounce in her jumperoo or walk with our help. Her hair has grown a little but still no teeth. She weighs right around 18 pounds. She is just so funny and her personality is really beginning to show. Sophia loves loves loves to play peekaboo with Josh and I. Until next time........

My Lil' Pumpkin

Two weeks ago we took Sophia to her first pumpkin patch. We enjoyed a lovely day of sun, apples, pumpkins, cider, and fried cakes. Sophia especially liked the sugar from the fried apple cakes (just a taste). We didn't have her in the car for more than five minutes after that adventure and she had already fallen asleep.


Unfortunately this past weekend we all came down with the flu monster. Sophia, Josh, and I were all out of commission. Thank goodness for my momma because if she wouldn't have come up to help, I am not sure what we would have done. Now however, we are all starting to feel much better. We are looking forward to the upcoming halloween and seeing Sophia in her pig costume. Until next time........

If you're happy and you know it

Can you believe it is October already? I most certainly can't. I am still in shock that Sophia is 7 months old already.. Boy does time really fly by... She has been so funny lately. She is wanting so badly to crawl. She loves to clap when someone sings "If you're happy and you know it". Tomorrow, weather permitting, we are planning a trip to the apple/pumpkin orchard. I am sure we will have some cute pictures.
As for Josh and I, nothing new really going on. I started working 4 ten hour days a week and Josh just finished up his 8th grade football season undefeated. We are excited about Sophia's first Halloween, although we will most likely just show her and her pig costume off from the comfort of our front porch.
Until next time....
