Happy 6 months!

After 15 attempts of getting a "cute" pictures, this was the best! She's everywhere and was grabbing the paper and crumbling it and wouldn't look at the camera. Oh well - at least I have it documented! Sophie is weighing in at 18#, is 25.5" long and her head circumference is in the 75 - 90th percentile. (Heed! Pants! Now!...movie quote from So I Married an Axe Murderer. It's a funny quote if you've seen the movie. Not funny at all if you haven't!)

Daddy Graduated!!

Matt graduated Saturday from UCO with his MBA! We're so proud of him and so excited that he will be at home every night and won't have to study every weekend! He did so well - was nominated for MBA Most Outstanding Student and graduated 3rd (I think) in his class - all while working full-time and becoming a daddy! Our families came in for the big day and we had a little brunch for him. It made Sophie a little tired...

After her nap (which was during graduation - I had to stand in the back for over an hour and hold her while covering her ears so she wouldn't scream every time an overly excited family member would yell for their graduate), she was more ready for picture time.

She wants to be just like her daddy! (Let's hope!)

Sickness update

The Sophster has a double ear infection and two bright white teef coming through on the bottom left. Fun times! So, we've been nose-dropping, bulb-syringing, snot-wiping, humidifying...and snuggling. That's the best part. Poor thing, she's still as cute as can be!

I'm a slacker

I haven't updated in a while - so sorry. We've all been sick around here and it's hard to get real excited about taking pictures or blogging for that matter. But, here are some fun pictures from the last couple of weeks. The girls hanging out in Weatherford Thanksgiving morning.

Sophie biting the duck's bill - she's teething and I think there are 2 little teef coming through. She refuses to let anyone take a look.

Shaking her booty - this just cracks me up

What an awful face! Her daddy was giving her a lemon and this was one of her first reactions. She actually started to enjoy it and took about 6 more bites!

Cruz + Soph = BFF

We started solids!

And look at the mess it makes! Just about once a day we get one of these explosions...I guess that's just part of it. The first time or two it was a little funny, now I just try to keep my food down while changing her! She's going to kill me one of these days, but doesn't she have the cutest little teaso (that's 'bottom' in Lebanese for all of you whities!)!!

5 months old!!

I can't believe I have a 5 month old! She is so much fun and I have to snap pictures or record something everyday - she does something new, or funnier, or better everyday! What a blessing to be able to stay with her and watch her grow! Thanks Daddy!!

Isn't this funny! Both mouths wide open!

We played out in the yard yesterday and I got some really great shots of Sophie!

Happy Girl

Sophie loves watching Cruz. She could just sit all day and smile at her. Lately she has started to giggle, but only at Cruz. She's so darn cute and happy in this video; I had to share it.

Look what I can do!

Miss priss is sitting all by herself!! I can't believe she's already hit this milestone! Last week she was holding herself up with one hand and playing with toys in the other. All of the sudden she was sitting without support on Thursday night. she looks like a glow worm!

Whooaa! Not quite mastered!

Fast forward to Sunday night...completely mastered!

She can even multitask!

Sitting up sure wears her out!

Cruz is always worn out!

I love my Giddie!

Sophie hung out with her Giddie on Sat. while my mom and I went shopping for a few goodies. Sophie enjoyed typing on the computer with Giddie. She looked at pictures on the internet and then typed a note. That typing must have really worn both of them out. They BOTH slept through a football game!
