Precious Cargo

The Big Red Dude.

According to the big guy and his elf Sofia has been a very good girl this year.

I see trouble.....

.....in the very near future.

Tails are not toys!

Random happenings!

YIP!! That's my little Guatemalan angel eating Marmite on toast this morning. She loved it. She'll be a true Guatiwi by the time we are done with her and while it might be true that her little friends in America might avoid the Quick household at breakfast time she will be able to sit and enjoy a meal of "black butter" with her cousins in N.Z. NO WORRIES!!


Baby it's cold out there.


Sof and Mum ready for a night on the town.


Looky here who jumped up on the back of Sofia's chair while she was reading her book. Maybe Jeeves didn't realize just exactly what was on the other side of the chair or maybe the draw of the fuzzy Christmas blanket was too much for any kitty to resist and it was worth the risk of getting that close to the pint size person.

Oh yeah......the kid is crawling.

Poser

OMG!!!! What a poser. Daddy has done Sofia's hair the last two days. I love the jaunty angle he got on her volcano today....very 80's don't you think?

New tricks!

Lovin' my new teddy bear.......thanks Karen.


Trying out my legs with Daddy. This is cool!!!

TUCKERED OUT!!!!

Well, it is official.....life as we know it is OVER!!! No, she is not crawling, yet, but has figured out if she rolls and rolls and rolls she can move quite freely around the living room. She also discovered today how to sit up and she is pulling herself up to stand. All of this happened in the blink of an eye and tonight she has spent about 2 hours just honing her newly aquired skills and laughing all the while. I think she smells the fear in her parents. She finally rolled herself into her stack of toys and came to rest, pooped. She ought to sleep well tonight.

Bubbles and Parties

Looking pretty for Peter's birthday party. It didn't last long. Sof was dying to go outside and play with the boys. I have a feeling that these party dress days are going to be short-lived.


Sofia got bubbles at the party. She is still trying to figure out if she likes them or not but they were so pretty in the sunlight coming through the window. She just stared and watched them come down.

Getting ready for school

I couldn't resist posting this series of photos taken on the morning of the first full day of school for Sofia. She is such a goofball in the mornings. We gave her the best volcano hair-do ever and as usual Barclay was nearby to assist.
