20 months old today

Where the heck has the time gone? I can't believe that Sophia will be two in four short months. She is talking up a storm, repeating almost everything we say. Which means I gotta start watching my mouth more. Pretty sure she said "crap" yesterday. Good thing we don't really swear in our house. Crap is about as bad as it gets. But it's still not something I want my toddler running around spouting.





Here is a link to some Father's Day pictures. Ain't she just the cutest??

Piggies!

Sophia's hair is finally long enough for pig tails. Sort of. They are actually more like pig stumps. But still freaking adorable!

And don't let her fool you. She loved her piggies. She kept looking in the mirror and laughing at them. But she hates sitting still and didn't want to pose for photos. Hence the crabby face and blurriness...

can't think of a decent title...

So things have been busy around here lately. Here are some updates:

• Our tenant is moving out of our rental property at the end of the month. We are currently trying to find a new tenant to move in by July 1. If you know anyone looking for a place, let us know!

• Memorial Weekend was great! Chad had all three days off. I literally can't remember the last time he had three days off in a row. Sophia got super spoiled spending three entire days with both mommy and daddy. She loved it!

• We got the swimming pool opened last week. It is currently still nasty and green. But, since it's like 60 degrees outside today, that's okay. Will summer EVER come to Minnesota?

I have some new photos to post later, once I upload them. Here's a cute one to tide you over. Notice the hat. The kid won't go anywhere without a hat these days. Lucky for Sophia, but unlucky for my credit card, Gymboree sells hats that match all their outfits. I think she has about 10.

18-month pictures!

Here is a link to Sophia's 18-month pictures.

She was sure likes to have her picture taken!

please pray...

I know some of you were following Emilie's story last year.

Please pray for her and her family. My heart is breaking for them right now.

the fake laugh... and animal sounds

Here's the latest video of the peanut. She starts out with a little dancing. Then busts out into her "fake" laugh. And I FINALLY got some of her animal sounds on video. Yay! She was a bit distracted by the tv and kept looking over my head, but this is the best video we have got of her in a long time.
