Happy "Gotcha" Day

Dear Sophie Mei,

It was one year ago that you were placed in my arms. It has been an amazing year. You are such a sweet little girl and I love you very much.

Hugs and Kisses,

Mommy

My Darling Valentine.

Sophie is getting a reputation.

Our Big Adventure!

Sophie's Buddies Elizabeth (ZZ) and Ethan (EE)
Aunt Chris and Gang
Sophie and Holden


Sophie and I flew to Cincinnati to visit the Chris, Jim and ZZ (Elizabeth) and EE (Ethan). She actually did pretty good on the plane rides, and was actually really good on the trip. She loved playing with the kids and the constant attention. We got to see a lot of family, and did plenty of eating, especially my favorites Dewey's and Graters and we even got some shopping in. It was really fun to get away and spend time with our friends.

Sophie's 2 favorite things in life!

Sophie has two favorite things in life right now Elmo and Dum Dum Suckers. I think I give in too easily when she so sweetly demands a sucker and says please, and then searches through my purse to find one. They are really meant only for bribery and /or a special treat, but sometimes I can not deny that cute little face. The dentist will not be so happy with us. Luckily she is not a fan of all flavors and throws the ones she does not like after about 3 licks. Elmo is having a bit of competition with the Wiggles, lately she rather see the 4 jolly men singing and dancing instead of the cute red monster.

One Year ago, a phone call changed our life!

I can't believe it was 1 year ago today, that a phone call at 9am brought this wonderful little girl into to our lives.

Sophie's New Hair Style

Sophie's hair is long enough to try a new style. The bows needed a short rest. It is not an easy task to make a straight part on a wiggly 20 month old, I still need a bit of practice. She loves to go to the mirror and check herself out with her pigtails.
