Worzel Gummidge II

Miss Molly, I know you think you have this title covered, but this was Sofia's lovely hair-do when she woke from her nap today. Glorious, isn't it? What I wouldn't do for a head of hair like Sofia.

Toy Bucket Mornings

Today is mine and Sofia's last morning together before I return to work on Monday. I will miss our time hanging out around the toy bucket. The mornings are such a wonderful time with her.....yes, you heard that correct, I love the morning, but only when Sofia is involved. Every morning when she wakes up, I go into her room followed closely behind by Barclay John. When Sofia sees Barclay she always lets out a squeal of delight. I pick her up out of her crib and Barclay starts bouncing, bouncing, bouncing trying to get high enough to see her and she leans as far over out of my arms as she can to see Barclay John. It is going to be so fun watching these two grow up together.



Where'd you go, Barclay?


Anything new in here today?



The tongue is very important these days. It spends most of it's time hanging out outside of Sofia's mouth.



When Sofia naps, everyone naps. Probably would be better if the critters didn't do it on our bed, but they were quiet so I'll take it.

Berry Cute

Sofia has been so spoiled by all our friends and family. We have received so many wonderful gifts from so many people and now we are way behind on all our thank-yous. Today, Clyde came home from school with this hand knitted strawberry hat from a student and his mom and it was just too cute not to put on Sofia.

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.
