Fia's birthday video

So it seems that I am posting this out of order. And I guess I am. We posted pics of Fia's birthday party with the promises of video. I posted video of her drinking and then I went back to the birthday video. But here it is. Watch the first one first.




It went really well until she started getting tired. Even then it would have been fine except she had cake all over her hands when she started rubbing her eyes from exhaustion.



Rubbing cake into her own eyes wasn't the best way to keep her going and at that point it was a question of how to wrap up th party and give her a nap.

Still a ton of fun and I hope you all enjoy.

Sophia drinks

So I love this video for a number of reasons. We were hanging out at Lill's and Sophia grabbed a cup near her and lifted it up to her mouth. It had noting in it but she tried to drink from it anyway. So we got her a cup with some water in it. She drank like a pro and we all cheered. I guess we cheered too much because once we started the camera (thanks to Annie for having a camera to capture this moment) she only went through the motions and stopped to get her cheers and hoorays!

I love this because she doesn't actually drink, yet goes through the motions then stops to get applause. I love it again because the camera is perfect, going crazy once the water is spilled.



Enjoy. I'm off to post the video of her eating her first birthday cake. Lynette promised I'd put it up.

Sophie's Birthday Party

I thought that I would share some pics from Sophie's party for those of you who could not attend. I will post a video later after I get it uploaded to you tube.









Just a little taste....

Before she digs in!

Happy First Birthday Sophia!

Well, it finally arrived... Sophia's first birthday. It doesn't seem like it has been a year yet but the calendar and the ticker on our blog say differently. Most of you who read this have heard about the bear that we made for Sophia the day she was born and how I wanted to take her picture each month to show how she has grown... well the final picture was taken today. So I thought I would share a couple of them with you. Hope you enjoy seeing how our precious girl has grown. Love you all.

Her first word is 'three'?

Sophia and I have a game. I count very slowly. "Ooooone... Twwwwwo..." and then I say "Three" and drop her at the same time. It's only a half-drop and I catch her. She gets excited when she hears me say "One" and is practically giggling when she is dropped.

Today her and I were doing this and she finished for me.



The first time she said it, it sounded like, "Tee" Then it kinda dissolved into her saying, "Tay" or "Teh" But does it count? I'm a little skeptical. You tell me if Sophia's first word is, "Three"
