LOVED IT!!!

Daddy gave Sofia her first taste of pumpkin pie on Halloween. LOVED IT!! She watched every fork full of pie go into her Dad's mouth.


Take the girl away from the pie and this is what we get.

Haven't we met before?

Same Crew, Different Day

Welcome Home Sofia

So yesterday at work I was surprised with a wonderful "Welcome Home Sofia" shower thrown by all my workmates. There were delicious treats and tea and Sofia, Clyde, Grandma and Grandpa were there as well. Sofia was spoiled rotten some more and loved all the attention. How lucky are we.


The crew at work.


How cool is this, Mum?


Mmmmmm Mmmmmmm!

Little Miss Ladybug

We had a little get together tonight with the neighbours, a little pre-Halloween gathering. Sofia made the cutest ladybug ever. Unfortunately, she wasn't too fond of the monkey and skunk we sat her next to (she cried) and it was over 80 degrees so the costume only stayed on a few minutes. We'll hope for some cooler weather and no other stinky critters for the actual day.

Snow Bunny

Sof's ready to tackle the slopes.

Miscellaneous

Are they not the cutest couple of kids you have ever seen? Peter and Sofia hanging out in the front yard playing with the jigsaw puzzle.


Sofia loves her jumperoo. The only thing that makes it better is when Mum does all the work for her. Her smile couldn't be bigger and her giggle is infectious.


I didn't think I would be one of those mothers, but I am!! I have given up buying the store bought baby food and have started making all of Sofia's food myself. I probably wouldn't keep this kind of thing up but I made this chicken, sweet potato and pea concoction last night and tonight, Sofia ate and ate and ate. Now that will make a momma keep cooking.

Monster morning

After a restless night, we woke and visited the farmers market. It was cold out and Sofia loved being bundled up. She smiled the whole time. Unfortunately, since we have returned home the lack of sleep last night has created a monster who won't nap. Dad has taken her for a walk.....here's hoping she falls asleep in the stroller.

The Day After

Here is our poor wee girl the day after her shots. It was so sad. She was a real trooper though even though she had a fever and still had smiles for everyone....the social worker, Karen and Andrew, and Nobuko.......especially Nobuko.

Dressed up all pretty for the social worker.




I'm too tired to jump anymore. I think I'll just lay my head down for a little while.


I love Nobuko. She has pretty long hair and glasses.

Two Owies and Some New Loot

Sofia had to go to the doctors today for her shots. I have been putting off the inevitable for weeks now, going into the doctors office and then deciding the wait is too long and leaving again. Today, since it is my last day before work starts we conned Daddy into coming with us so there was no escape. Sofia had two injections in her left leg. Of course I couldn't watch. There was a very long silence after the deed was done, followed by a rather loud wail. Amazingly, as soon as Daddy picked Sofia up, all was quiet again. She did so well.....what a brave girl. If it makes it any better, Clyde and I both went and got our flu shots as well.
Afterwards, we visited the toy store and Sofia picked out a new ball and a jigsaw puzzle and came home and played quite happily.
