Sophia loves a range of songs and musicians, but here are a few of her current favorites:
1. Neil Young, Neil Young and more Neil Young! Her favorite Neil song right now is "Unknown Legend." You can listen to it here: Legend
2. Classical music in general (especially now that she hears it so much with ballet!) and Chopin in particular. You can listen to our current absolute favorite (and perfect for ballet!) Chopin song (Polonaise Op. 53 in A Flat Major) here: Chopin
3. The science songs group They Might Be Giants. Sophia loves almost every science rock song they've recorded! A good example is a song about the planets, called "How Many Planets." You can listen to it here: Planets. I'm a huge fan of their catchy song Electric Car ...not necessarily because I think electric cars are the answer to our planet's problems (at least not until we create cleaner electricity!), but because the tune is addictive!
4. Almost forgot! One of her absolute favorite songs (for a very long time) is Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier," which she calls "Buffalo Solja." Listen to it here: Buffalo Soldier. She also really loves Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry. Lots of daddy influence here, but I can't say that I mind!
Next Comes 5!

Some fall pics!
Sophia's new wheels! She calls it her "electric car." :)
The box was almost as fun as the car!
Sophia went roller skating for the first time with her class!
More ballet pics... she's really starting to "get it," and loves practicing every night :)
At the barre!
We've been spending a lot of time in GF lately! This pic is from a couple weeks ago. Travis enjoying our Goddaughter :)
Sophia's cousins are so sweet about including Sophia and doting on her!
She has to get up on the horses every time we're up there!
At her 2nd cousin, Mairie's, 2nd birthday party!
At a table full of her cousins :)
Watching Mairie unwrap... check out the get-up she insisted on wearing!
Love my lil girl's sense of style!
The sunsets here DO have a particular beauty! It's like living on the edge of the world!
This was from Oktoberfest, after my last marathon event (1/2 marathon) of the year!
Sophia waiting to go on a bouncer with her cousins Jaylin and DJ... check out Jaylin holding Soph's hand :) Love cousins!
Sophia tried her first mechanical bull!!!
They had weiner dog races and lots of the dogs were in costume. It was just beyond!
There was a little jockey on the brown one!
Pics from the Bismarck 1/2 marathon! Sophia with her boy cousins, Gunner and DJ! 
Pigging out after the race!
Laura and I, pre-race!
The cousins by a water stop! The volunteers at these marathons are just amazing!
That's me coming up in the blue!
Laura at the finish... the kiddos escorted her in! It was so sweet!
Bonding with Ava back at the hotel :) MOST. MELLOW. BABY. EVER!!!
Travis' new toy!
Sophia helped me deck the house out for Halloween last weekend
Sophia's new bed! It's SO cozy!!!
Fairy costume! I let her wear it as much as she wants... I'm not a fan of a $40 kid's outfit being worn just once!!!
Love the hair accessories
Life can just be so exhausting! :) I love the way sleeping children look... complete angels.
