We celebrated the arrival of Sophia's pre-birth month (that would be the 4 weeks before her birthday, of course!) by buying a little cheesecake and lighting candles and singing her "Happy Birth-Month." She loved it! In fact, she loved it so much that we did it every day for a week...no more cheesecake, but we'd stick a candle in her hotdog, in a roll, a chunk of watermelon, etc. She is now well-practiced and ready for the real thing! She can totally blow out candles!
Perhaps she's nervous about turning 2? Sometimes Sophia uses her doll toys for herself, and crawls around saying goo-goo ga-ga. Too funny!
A couple weeks ago the twins came over for some play-time! Sophia was sooo good with them! She and Amelia played with her pop-up toy forever, and Sophia acted like a perfect big sister. She would say, "Amelia, where's the elephant?" and then pop it up and say, "there it is!" Or she would pop up an animal and say, "Amelia, what's that? A monkey!"
Sophia and William played some hard-core peek-a-boo!
She was pretty exhausted after all that fun! I love sleeping kids...little angels!
Father's Day fun! I started the day by making Travis such a big breakfast he made me take a picture of it: homefries, eggs, toast and blueberry pancakes...yum! After a short post-breakfast food coma we went to a family movie...Sophia's first theater experience! We saw Toystory 3 in 3D! Sophia wore her glasses almost the whole time...she was so cute! And she was good through the WHOLE movie!!! We finished up the day with a long, sunset game of frolf at the frisbee-golf course near our house. It was a lovely family day...what mother's and father's days are all about!
More peek-a-boo!
Ok, I know it's weird...but one of Sophia's favorite games is to pretend she's a puppy! I have to lead her around and say "come on puppy! Good puppy!" It thrills her to death!
On Tuesday we went to the Wild West Jamboree with the twins! We smushed them all in the Blazer!
Carriage rides! Sophia begged to ride on top of the clydesdales! The drivers let us pet them instead :)
There was a cute little country band called "the Roosters."
Sophia waiting for the pony rides! The line was so long, and it was hard for her to be patient, but...
We finally made it! This was her first pony ride on her own...I didn't walk next to her! It was SO scary! (For me...she loved it!)
They had little games there, too. In this game they had lariats and the kids were supposed to rope the cow-head... Of course, as an animal-lover's daughter, Sophia preferred to pet the cow head! Haha!
