Rollin' On

BIG NEWS!!!! Sophia has rolled over from her belly to her back today!!! For the last few days when Sophie has been on her belly, she has been acting like for was on the way to rolling over. This morning Marty had her on her belly for tummy time --which I might add that she HATES- she started trying to get the momentum to get all the way over and after a couple of tries she made it!!! Marty and I were so excited to see her do it, and I think she was excited too. She got this huge smile on her face!! We tried it again, and she went right over! I hope to get some video of it soon to share.

Sophia's First Camping Adventure

This weekend Marty and I took Sophia on her first camping trip. I was very concerned all week about going, thinking that Sophie would not sleep and would make the trip miserable for all involved. Not the case, Sophia was a trooper. She was the happy baby that she almost always is!!! The only time she really was upset was when she got hungry which is no big surprise. She even slept just like she does at home, the only difference was she awoke about 6:30 each morning after taking a bottle about 5:00 because of the light coming in the camper. She did fall back asleep both mornings after a little coaxing.

Marty and I really enjoying being at the campground as well. It was so nice to be outside and hope it is something that we will be able to do a little more often. I think we are going to try a trip to Gatlinburg over Fall Break in October. We went with Mom and Doug and had dinner with them both nights. Sophie had a great time getting attention from Nana and Papaw, she did lots of smiling and cooing. She also loved checking out the trees around the camper and loved to go for walks around the grounds. Marty, Doug, and I went on a 6 mile canoe trip Saturday with our friends, Joe and Meiko. I had been canoeing before but not this stretch of Elkhorn. It had a lot more rapids to navigate, but we got through most of them without any injuries. It certainly was a great way to spend the afternoon. Sophie stayed with Nana at the campground- Thanks Mom!!!!

Busy, busy, busy

It seems like we have been so busy in the last few weeks. Sophia has grown so much!!! She is really becoming more and more active and involved in things that we are doing. She loves to play peek a boo with Mommy and Daddy, she smiles and is trying to laugh but just cant figure out exactly how to do it.

Last week, Sophia and I joined Aunt Kate, Morgan and Warren and headed up to Cincinnati to meet LeeAnn and Evan for a day at the Cincinnati Zoo. It was so much fun to watch all the kids look at the animals and run around. Sophia was GREAT!!! She slept the first few hours and then ate. After that, she was all smiles and enjoying being outside. I can't wait until next year so Sophia can really enjoy it!

Every morning I go into Sophia's bedroom and she is lying like this and I know she didn't start out this way!! It really is so cute.
