NOSE!

Sophie is VERY proud of the fact, that she knows where her nose is. If you ask her "where is your nose?" A very wide grin covers her face, and her pointer finger shoots up her nose. This picture, I was lucky enough to snap a picture before the finger went inside. If for some reason I touch my nose, say to itch it, she will stick her finger up her nose and shout "no!" (she can't really say the "se" part yet)

She also knows where her eyes are. We have to be careful asking her where they are, because she gets so excite she stabs her freaking eye with her finger. I'm afraid the poor girl will go blind.
In that picture she is on top of a stand... she has discovered she can climb things... joy.

Happy Birthday To Me

My birthday was on the 11th, and it was pretty darn good. We woke up, Denny took the dog out, got the laundry going, and made breakfast. I didn't have to do anything, it was delightful.

We went out to dinner with Denny's mom, then went to see the movie Observe and Report- ALONE! Since Sophie was born, we have been on 5 dates. That is 5 dates in 15 months. I always hated leaving Sophie, she was so attached to me that she would literally scream from the moment I left, until I came home.

I finally worked up the nerve to leave Sophie with Grandma Tina about 2 weeks ago. The entire time I just pictured my poor baby crying. Once we got back to the apartment, I braced myself for the worst. Tina told me Sophie didn't even notice we left, and only cried a few minutes. ...FREEDOM! I'm so glad we can finally go out and Sophie won't think its the end of the world - that is by far the best gift ever.

I also got gifts from Tina, Grandma Horton, my dad, Isaak, my mom, and Denny. Thank you all, for an awesome birthday. :)

More Videos

Here are a handful of videos I've taken the past few days.

"Where In The World Is Sophie?"
Sophie found a new hiding place.

"Swings!"
Katie and Sophie getting pushed on the swings at the park.

"Bubbles Galore"
The girls playing with bubbles at the park.

"Melody & Cheerios"
Melody trying to feed Sophie Cheerios.

"Follow The Leader"
Sophie following Melody all over. Her shirt is unbuttoned because I was changing her and she escaped. I promise I actually dress her during the day. :)

Family :)

My brother and his family came up to visit for 2 days. They moved to Texas last May and we haven't seen them since. They have 2 girls, Melody who will be 3 this summer, and Katie who is just 10 days older than Sophie. I was SOOOO excited for them to come out, so that the girls could finally play together. In the picture, Katie is diving off the couch, Sophie is trying to push me off the couch, and Melody is trying to make her way up on the couch.

We went to the park, and that was oodles of fun. The slide was the first thing the kids ran to. We formed a train to watch the kids. Denny got them up the stairs, I helped them get in the slide, and Isaak caught them at the bottom. They loved it.

Then we hit the swings. As you can see from this picture, Katie was super excited. She spent most of her time watching the ground.

While the little girls were swinging, Melody ran about playing with the wood chips on the ground. She used a tiny yellow wrench to dig.

Then the bubbles began! The girls ran about chasing them, while Jared and Denny kept the bubbles coming. Here is Melody giving Sophie eskimo kisses.

Eventually Melody got a hold of some bubbles. Sophie followed her around while she attempted to blow bubbles. After a while Sophie decided that SHE wanted to play with the bubbles. Melody ran away, and this was the result.

I'm loading a bunch of videos, and I'll post them once they are done. Also all the pictures are in a slideshow on the side of the webpage.

Poor Daisy

Sophie always loved Daisy, but never really touched her. She would pet her now and again, but that was about it. Just yesterday she started to pick Daisy up. I thought it was the funniest thing in the world... I'm sure Daisy wouldn't agree. :)
