Sophie and My Pedicure

First pedicure of the season! Sophie was playing with my toes (clean toes, I promise) and was getting pretty excited.


Here you can see how hard she's working to use that left hand.




Later, some cuddling with Daddy.


New Stroller

A wonderful friend has given us his family's double stroller now that his girls are too big for it. We were thrilled when Daddy brought it home last night.

G has been spending lots of time in the stroller - she likes to take her milk while sitting in the backseat.

Here's what Sophie was doing when G was getting to know the stroller.

We sure do love the hand-me-down gifts around here!

For Grandma, here's a shot of the famous monkey that she likes to watch move back and forth (there's a monkey on each side of the arc).

Sharing Our Toys

Georgia hosted friends Estevinho and Madeline yesterday for breakfast and - gasp - actually SHARED HER TOYS with them!

The three actually sat and played in the toy area while the parents drank coffee! I had dreamed that this day might come...but it was more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. Um, look at this face! She is too beautiful!

When I asked the kids to look at the camera, Estevinho and Madeline looked right up. Georgia, as KK would say, gave me the biscuit. Hopefully they will come back soon so we can get more pictures!

Friday in the Park with LilyJ

We had a rough week re: Georgia's health (and ER trip because of an infected thumb, stomach upset, associated moodiness). So Friday's promised trip to the park with LilyJ took on mythic proportions. We were lucky the place was empty when we first arrived. G had her pick of vehicles.

The girls enjoyed their time alone, before the hoards of kids showed up.

A little fender bender?



We brought our stash of sidewalk chalk and shared with all the kids.

G likes purple - surprised?

Sophie slept the entire time we were out - shocking. This allowed us some quality time on the swings.

Head Control

Sophie's really working on her head control!

Her TV

Daddy has taken to calling this bouncer Sophie's "TV" because she will sit and watch that darned monkey move from side to side for 20 minutes at a time. Yes, the song is about as annoying as you might imagine, but totally worth it.
 

Nothing Cuter...

There is nothing cuter than a kid in a sleepsack.

It really helps if the kid is Sophie, though.

She's 12 weeks old this week and apparently has no more need of the swaddle to sleep. Good thing, she's getting too big for all of our swaddle blankets anyway!

I promise, she actually is just as soft and hugable as she looks.

Don't believe me?

You should come visit and see for yourself. But I'd hurry. She just might outgrow this sleepsack within the month.
