Nine Months!!!!

Sophia is 9 months old tomorrow! She hasn't been feeling the best, so I went ahead and took her to the doctor today. She is currently 29 inches long and 22 pounds and 5 ounces! Wow!!! She is certainly growing quickly. She also has an ear infection in both ears :( but this does not seem to bother her a whole lot. She is still smiley and happy as usual, and sleeping through the night through all of it. I think the ear infections are the result of the 5 teeth she is currently getting. Mommy and Daddy only though it was 2, but today we saw a new bottom one and 2 on the top beside her two front ones are getting ready to poke on through! She is going to have bunches before she turns 1!

Sophia is also pulling up on everything! She loves to stand and try to grab whatever is closest to her. She is also moving down the table and couch, holding on with one hand and 'walking' right along. Daddy is trying to get her to take steps to him, but she is scared and will not let go of the end table. She has gotten so fast when she is crawling, we can't turn our backs for a second! Sophia babbles all the time- mostly saying daa-daa, goos and gaas. I can't wait to hear the maa-maa!!

As we were leaving the doctor today, he said~ Next time I will see you, Sophia will be a year! Oh MY GOSH!!!! Hard to believe time has gone by so quickly! We are so blessed with such a sweet, cute, healthy baby!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Morgan didn't want to give up her pumpkin, which really upset Sophie!

All this trick or treating really wore me out!!!

The best one I could get of all 3 looking kind of close to the camera.

Sophie crawls anywhere she wants now! She is all over the place.

First time I caught her pulling up on something. Guess she is ready to watch a movie...

Boyd's Orchard which will be so much more fun next year!

Movin' on!!!!

What a Week for Sophia!!!! She has changed so much this week it is crazy!!! As you all know, Sophia has been crawling for a while~ at least her version of crawling. This week she has mastered the real crawl, and wants to go everywhere. She is obsessed with the curtains in the living room and we have had to rig them so she can't reach them. She has also mastered sitting up from being on her belly- seems like that happened overnight. I saw her do it one time at Nana's house, then all the sudden she is doing it all the time. Everywhere she goes, she smiles and squeals in delight- it is the cutest. Lots of times she doens't want anything to do with me or Daddy, she would rather crawl around to the nearest toy she thinks is cool!! Last night, she pulled up on a basket in the living room to see what was in there. Wonderful, fun times at the Williams' house!!!

This weekend she will dressing up! I will post some pictures as soon as we get some :)

Daddy's Big Adventure

As many of you know, Marty bought a kayak and has been on a couple of short trips here and there. This week Daddy went to Charlotte, North Carolina to meet Uncle Led for a relaxing mini vacation. Mommy and Sophia stayed at home since it was not going to be the best time for baby Sophia to make a long road trip. In Charlotte, there is a US training center for kayakers~ the Olympic team trains here for the games. It boasts the largest man made river in the States and has Class 3 and Class 4 rapids. The park is awesome ~ it is over 400 acres and has biking trails, zip lines, white water rafting, just to name a few activities. Marty had a great time, but Mommy and Sophie are soooo happy he is back at home with us. Check out the pics!

So Funny!!!!

Sophie is growing like a weed! She is so much more aware of her surroundings than before. It truly is amazing. She watches our every move. If we leave the room, she cries for us to return. If she drops something on the floor, she looks to see where it fell. She is also getting scared of certain things- like Daddy with shaving cream on his face and the vacuum cleaner. She seems to have perfected the army crawl as well, however, still loves to roll around the room which is her main mode of transportation.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Anna!!!

So, I really don't have many skills when it comes to uploading pics to the blog. I wanted to put Anna first and thought I did... Clearly it did not happen. ANYWAY, Happy birthday to sweet Anna Claire. We enjoyed her party at her house last weekend :) Anna is always so excited to see Sophia when we come over, she certainly loves her little cousin! I can't wait for Sophie to get big enough to play with Anna~ I know they will be great friends and probably a little trouble for us too!

Sophia has had another great week. She has been sooooo happy lately. I guess it is in part to feeling better as Daddy took her to the doctor on Monday, and she had a mild ear infection. Thanks to the antiboitic, it has cleared right up. She certainly never missed a beat, was just congested and had a cough, but now it is all gone. I am still expecting her to crawl any day, she is rolling all over the place and army crawling. Maybe next week....

7 Months~ Almost

It's been a while since I have posted any pictures of Sophia. She is growing up so quickly, and Marty and I are amazed by the differences in her every day- I know I have said that before, but it is amazing. Sophie is the sweetest little baby- she is happy most of the time and loves to smile. She is infatuated with dogs the most, and it doesnt matter if it is our dogs or anyone else's dog. She is constantly putting stuff in her mouth and chewing on it. She is always drooling like a waterfall. We really think that any day she will be crawling, she gets up on all fours and rocks. Then she gets really mad that she is not going anywhere, and decides to roll all over the room. She is eating all kinds of baby food, and now oatmeal instead of rice. She seems to like veggies better than fruit for the time being- I am sure that will not last for long though. Sophia was pretty stopped up with a yucky cough last week, so Daddy took her to the doctor. No big deal just a viral infection. Her weight was 19 pounds~ WOW!!!! Mommy and Daddy are truly blessed to have such a wondeful baby.
