Random Cute pics

Here are some random cute pictures of the new walker, and all of her busy days:)

She loves to read, but who wouldn't if you were wearing a princess crown and a pink fluffy backpack:)


So this is the baby that wouldn't take a bottle, so I was packing all 200 of them up, and NOW she decides that she is going to do a pacifier and a bottle!


Sofia at the Clifford story hour at Barnes and Nobles


She was playing with Ida Jane and all of a sudden they came out of the back room and Sofia was wearing this hat, just like this. It is definitely stylish (I guess just her own style:) So then they sat and had oreos together.


Sofia went over to her friends Gabe's house to play with him and his brothers Luka and Lars. They had so much fun:)

The big green ball

Sofia got this ball at the grocery store, it was on the bargain bin and it amused her while I did my grocery shopping. It was a great purchase it has supplied us with hours of fun!

The Dancing Queen

Sofia had a very hard week! So this post will catch you up on all that has gone on this week. Sofia got sick on Monday night with Foot and Mouth Disease.... this translates to no sleep for anyone disease. We were home bound for most of the week, which was hard on both of us. By Wednesday we had to get out. So I took Sofia to a movie, "Mama Mia." She LOVED it. She got popcorn and sat in her stroller, and danced, sang and clapped. It was a great date for the both of us. She was really cute, she just kept smiling at me, almost like she was saying, "Thank you Mommy, this is so much fun!"

By Thursday she was no longer contagious so we met Auntie Megan at Columbia mall and she went nuts at the kid's park. It was really funny to see how assertive, or better yet bossy she is. There was a bigger kid that kept getting in her way. It didn't bother her though, she just pushed him right out of the way.

So now we are all better and our house is back to normal, so hopefully this will be a better week!

Here is a video of her at the play park in the mall:

Cinderella

Sofia has taken up house cleaning as a new hobby. As many of you know I have tried to figure out this whole stay at home thing all summer, and I think I may have some of it down by now (at least naps, cleaning, and of course having fun). But it is really hard to clean when she is awake (which is most of the time). So I noticed that she liked to be doing what I was doing. So here are a couples of pics and a video of my little Cinderella.

PS She LOVES to cook with me, so she has made brownies, corn muffins, pancakes, and of course "hot," (this is the word she uses for her favorite meal which is spaghetti).

Such a big girl

A couple of weeks ago I went with Joanna to IKEA and bought Sofia a table. Joanna made it look really pretty, and stained it to look like our table (thank you Joanna, as always you amaze me!)

So here is my big girl at her table coloring (well and eating crayons) with her BFF Ida Jane.

PS Please notice that she is also clutching her new doll Lulu, a new fan favorite. We had to go out and buy Lulu because Ida Jane had a Lulu:)

90 to nothin'

Well it finally happened! The little girl who pretended she didn't know how to walk, stood up and just walked across the room last night! It was shocking to say the least.
I was making dinner and she was sitting at her new table coloring (but mostly eating crayons). When she got down off of her chair, then stood there for a minute, and just walked across the room to me! I got so excited I jumped up and down, and starting cheering, which in turn made her excited. This is a video clip after the initial walk. It is not as long, but you still get the picture.


After practicing over and over again, she got very tired and just starting laying on the carpet. It was hilarious. Here is a pic and a video of the very exhausted walker!

The plug

I know most of you get the email updates for the mommy chronicles, which me, myself LOVE! However I do have some blogs of some friends that I have posted to my blog. They are fun to read, and it is always fun to see what they are up to. I just today added another friend's blog to my blog (if that makes sense). She is my god sister, someone I grew up with. She is training for a triathlon! You go Mary! There is also my neighbor, my ex-neighbor, family, some of Sofia's buddies, and Josh and Joanna's blog who are adopting from both Twain and China. So check these people out, I love keeping up with them:)
