what we've been up to

here's what we've been up to the last few weeks...

loving puppies as much as ever

celebrating birthdays

26 for me.

going to the discovery gateway

driving the car

she LOVES furniture her size

sneaking goldfish

swimming with emi.
we were dying at sophie in this swimsuit. hilarious. her old one doesn't fit anymore and we hadn't got a new one yet. she was just about busting the seams. she really isn't as chunky as she looks here. she actually still quite small for her age.

trying to feed herself yogurt. from a measuring spoon.

this kid likes to eat and drink out of weird things.

climbing up and down the stairs. she's super good at both. we had to teach her early how to get up and down and she does awesome.

chillin out in the tent with emi.

they did this themselves.

then they kept saying night night.

shopping in style. with a tu tu.

sophie's first ponytail.

i barely got it in.

she was kicking and screaming.

how do i get her to sit still for 3 seconds?

this is the best i could do.

playing with ALL her puppies in her tent. a bit of an obsession.

we had an excellent valentine's day.

we got to stay home and play!

and daddy brought us some pretty flowers.

sophie got to play with grandma, grandpa and aunt katie while we enjoyed a little javier's.

loving lotion.

she picked up the bottle and started rubbing her tummy one day. It took me a minute to figure out what she was doing. she just keeps asking for more. she signs more and asks "mo, mo" until i give it to her. sometimes i wish i didn't teach her that word. but, at least i know what she wants.

poor soph has been sick the last couple days. we spent wednesday night at the kidscare. fever of 102, croup and an ear infection for. bummer. so, we have been hanging out at home for a few days playing puppies, reading books, napping, and trying to get better. she was lucky enough to make it through last winter without getting sick, but it seems like she's had it all this time around. she's never been this sick before and it's so sad. hopefully she'll start feeling (and sounding) better in the next couple of days.

lately she has been laying down in funny places and saying night night. last week it was in the clothes basket. she is so silly.

and here are her top teeth. the second one is most of the way through now. she looks so old with teeth. I can't even remember what she looked like before she had them (which wasn't that long ago).

i cannot believe how many words she is saying lately. she'll pretty much try and say anything we tell her to say. she says bunny, katie, rylee, pretty, water, hippo, potty, bottle, outside, help, up, want that, and of course, NO. she prefers to yell no. she is getting good with her animal sounds as well: cow, kitty, puppy, giraffe, lion, monkey. she has a new found love for kittys. maybe almost as much as puppies. i downloaded the talking tom app on my phone and she is obsessed. every time she sees my phone she says "meow, meow" until i let her play with it. she is definitely an animal lover. she is getting a lot more hair and is looking so grown up. she is running all over the place and cannot be stopped. she keeps standing at the door, wanting to go outside. oh, how we need some warm weather. anyone else feel like they are just trying to survive until its warm enough to play outside? please come soon!

and that's what we've been up to.
