Parenting at its finest. Sophie is watching a Baby Einstein educational video. I don't think she's learning anything other than how much of a sucker I am for buying it.
Sophie hasn't decided if she likes sleeping in her crib yet.
Sophie got dressed up to go out for lunch in this outfit from her Great-Grandma Ellie in Michigan! She looks so pretty in red!

Sophie getting to meet her Great-Grandma Alsum for the first time...they smiled lots at each other!
Well, we're back home now in Oklahoma! Rascal welcomed Sophie back with many kisses!
Many of you have remarked on the absence of Dixie in this blog, so Sophie and I went off in search of her and made her pose for this picture. She has been very antisocial lately, but she did welcome her sister back from our trip! Boy, were the dogs glad to be out of that kennel!
I think she's gotten a little chubbier, don't you?








We're almost positive that Sophie has been smiling at us on purpose (seriously, she can't have that much gas, can she?) She especially likes it when Mike says "Goo, goo, goo" to her. She will just stare into Mike's eyes for the longest time as he talks to her! Sophie is becoming quite the popular girl and had another play date with her friends last weekend. Hannah is on the far right and is 5 days younger than Sophie, and Sarah is in the middle and was born about a month after Sophie.




Sophie had her first play date yesterday with Hannah Smith. Hannah was born 5 days after Sophie (her mom and dad, Michelle and Trevor, are in our Sunday School class). The girls seemed to enjoy playing together, so maybe they'll be best friends! The other pictures are of Sophie and her brother, Rascal, lounging on the couch this morning. Rascal loves licking Sophie...she's going to have a great immune system! Poor Hannah got licked a couple of times by Rascal too, as you can see from the second picture!
