Mop Chop

Sofia went to the salon today for a haircut. She was soooo good and waited patiently for her new "do" to be completed. Actually, it was just a trim and we decided to grow her fringe (bangs, for you Americans reading this) out so we can see her beautiful eyes.


This is her before shot.


The cut. Sofia sat in the chair just like the big kids.



Look how pretty. We got dressed up and met Grandma and Grandpa for some dinner.

I love mummy

Sofia received a present in the mail a couple of days ago from her Grandma and Grandpa - a new pair of PJ's that say "I love mummy" on them. Now, seeing as it's October, the bright orange feet and the fact that Halloween is lurking just around the corner, I have a feeling they are talking about the white bandaged variety, but I don't care. I will always be "Mummy" to Sofia. I know this decision will impact her greeting card selection forever as it has mine with my mum, but apparently I will be able to rely on the spooking season to get my fix of mummy wear.

By the way.....thanks G-ma and G-pa for the cool new stuff.

Smiles

Couldn't resist posting this picture of Sofia smiling but we have a big issue at hand......this hair. This was today's attempt at keeping it out of her eyes but I think there is going to have to be a major shopping expedition in the very near future for more hair accessories.

Daddy's Girl

Well, we always knew she would be a daddy's girl and so Sofia has started very clearly saying "dada". I don't think she connects what she is saying with her father but it sure is useful in the middle of the night when I can look across the bed to my wonderful husband and say "She's asking for you, honey".

Nap? I don't need no stinkin' nap!

Gumboots

Sofia received a wonderful gift in the mail today from Kiwiland.....her very first pair of gumboots. And not just any pair of gumboots I might add, but Buzzy Bee gumboots. Thank you Sally and Andrew, we love them! And until they fit her feet properly apparently they are pretty tasty as well.

Pucker Up

I caught Sofia mid pucker as she was blowing kisses to me - her latest and might I say most greatest trick to date. I can get up to twenty kisses in a row usually followed by an emormous grin. She has kisses enough for everyone......so all of you consider yourself kissed.

Laughter and Sillyness

Sofia has been laughing. I'm not talking about a little giggle, but a full on belly laugh. I don't think that Clyde and I have suddenly become super funny but rather I am hoping that Sofia is becoming comfortable and happy here.


Oh yeah.....and here's what happens when Dad is left alone to bath the girl. I shudder to imagine what hair-dos are in the poor child's future!!!

A day with Sofia.

Every morning after we get up and have breakfast Sofia and I play on the floor for an hour or so on her favourite blanket with her favourite toys. These include her stacking cups, her wooden blocks and her Marylou doll. Usually Barclay is involved somehow, but he has become a little camera shy. If you look carefully though, you might just be able to spot him keeping a watchful eye on his girl.


Todays blog post is brought to you by the upside down letter F and the green letter R.


Per my previous post, notice the toes!!!



This afternoon, we braved the local dining scene. We went to our wonderful Tower Cafe, sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed a lovely meal. Sofia had a whole bunch more cantelope (she has now eaten the whole thing single handedly)!! Thanks for the cool placemat Aunty A - this cantelope can be messy stuff.


The walk home from dinner. Might be time for another hair cut......you think?


Ready for bed in what have to be the cutest jammy jims ever.

Sof's Toes

This is the way Sofia's toes curl whenever she is sitting up. I don't know if it is from concentration or if she needs them to be like this so she doesn't fall over but it is the cutest damn thing!!!
