Uncle Frank's 35th birthday

Last Sunday we celebrated Uncle Frank's birthday with Auntie Sarah, Cousin Emily and Grandma and Grandpa Tees. Sophia's is sitting up on her own now and her new favorite thing is clapping. She claps when music is playing and claps when there's no music playing too!

Grandma Tees made us a yummy chicken and pasta dinner!

The birthday boy!

Sharing smiles with Grandpa

Sophia spent some floor time with Grandma and Grandpa

Auntie Sarah made an amazing birthday cake(she's very creative like that)!!

Uncle Frank was REALLY happy to turn 35!(or maybe it was Auntie Sarah's cake he was really excited about)

Sophia's Doc visit and bath time!

This picture is from our Urgent Care visit last Sunday where we had a 5 hour wait. Sophia was in good spirits in her tennis outfit! She's finally getting better now and has slept 9 hours 2 nights in a row. We're on a roll!!

Sophia had her first bath this week in a "big girl" bath tub. She got a lot of bath toys for Christmas so we decided to try them out. She loves splashing around in the water but hasn't quite figured out how to "play" with the toys. She thinks everything is edible!

Sophia Lillian turns 6 months!! 1/19/09

We cannot believe how much Sophia is growing and developing. At the moment she's teething so she's had a few sleepless nights lately. Today we also found out she has "croup" which is basically a cough that sounds like a seal! Poor baby is in such good spirits considering she's so sick. She's a VERY happy baby overall and we are so blessed to have her in our life.

Sophia's Second shot at food 1/9/09!

OK so we were more successful the second time and Sophia was much happier with us(we found out she didn't like the rice mixed with formula...picky lil' thing!). She was actually lunging at the spoon this time so we think that means she likes it...ha! She's a bit happier in these photos:) We hope Sophia had as much fun as her mommy and daddy did...can't wait 'til we move on to fun foods(rice cereal doesn't look all that appetizing!)

Sophia's First food 1/9/09!

Today was a big milestone for Miss Sophia! We fed her rice cereal. She'd been acting ravenous lately so we knew it was time. We assumed she'd eat it all up but it was quite the opposite(she gave us lots of "what are you trying to do to me" looks followed by lots of gagging...haaa). Nana came over and provided Sophia with entertainment, Daddy manned the video camera and I scooped in the food:) Here are some pictures we got!
