These Times I Will Miss....

Sophie was sitting and playing and somehow pulled her sock off. I checked on her and it was in her mouth. It was one of the cutest things she's done yet. Five years from now I'll look back and miss these times. She's so cute. She cut one tooth on the fifth and she's about a day away from cutting another. She hasn't been as fussy as I thought she would be. She does get upset easier and cries sometimes just because it hurts but we're doing ok. The oral gel doesn't seem to work as well as baby tylenol but I don't like giving that too often. She's still mommys girl though, and always want to be in my arms. I get most of the house chores done while she's sleeping.

Our cat is trying to hide while she cleans herself,,... but I still see her

While I was in the kitchen Sophie rolled underneath the couch. For some reason she always likes doing this.

Literally the spitting image of me I swear. I wonder what she will look like when she is older... will she start to look more like daddy??
What a little stinker
Anyways that is all for now. She is changing everyday. It is such a blessing to be able to witness her grow up.

January

I haven't posted for a while so hence the title. Nothing much has really gone on this month besides alumni bball tournament this past weekend. It was so much fun to see everyone this weekend from Clinton's graduating class. So many people came back, more than usual. Clintons team won two of three games on Saturday so for the first time ever they played on Sunday and won their first then lost the next game. It was the farthest their team has ever gone, woohoo! Clinton sprained his ankle so it is black and blue on the inner and outer sides of his ankle. This year it was his right ankle the last two it has been is left. I'm pretty sure both he and I have weak ankles. I'm starting to get the itch for spring, a couple nights ago with the rain it was a quite tease. Of course then that froze and became the coldest night of the winter :/ Sophie as usual with any baby is changing all the time. Mostly this month I've noticed her interest in interacting with me and becoming more and more of a little person and less baby. I think I will look back at this time when she is one and miss it. She's just such a snuggle bunny especially with me. She is 100% mommys girl but I'm sure that will change once she learns to appreciate her playtime with daddy. Here are a few pic's I'll leave you with. Several at that. I take a lot!

4 Months!!!!

I don't have much to say but She's getting big. She is doing great and seems to be developming new skills and interests daily. She loves to grab the cats hair... and hold on. Mrs. Jones however, doesn't appreciate it so much though. She's learning to stay away pretty quick. Sophie is sitting up with assistance now. She can't stay up for too long because she loses balance and plop, that was that. Can't wait what this new month brings!!!

Sophie Made the News!!!

My sisters and I at Como Park!

My family and I went sledding up at Como Park the Saturday before Christmas. My Aunt and Uncle insisted that we have Sophie go on a little sled. Just as we parked and got out to see what we were going to do. I noticed Channel 5 news camera reporter had parked behind us and was getting his cameras out to tape sledders out and about that day. He video taped Sophie and they had it on the news at 6, 10 and apparently the next morning too. She's already a star ;)

Christmas 2007

This was Christmas at Clinton's parents house. We opened gifts there, had dinner and watched Nat. Lapoons Christmas Vacation. It was a very fun time.

Here are "the dad's" with their girls, Lincoln with Chloe and Ashlyn, Grant with Josie, and Clinton and Sophie.
This was Sophie opening her first Christmas present. She helped a lot more than I thought she would,.. of course enjoying the wrapping paper more than the gift.. :)

Clinton and I had a very wonderful and BUSY Christmas season. We had a total of 7 events we needed to go to over the course of four days. Sophie didn't hadn't all of the crazyness very well and two days after christmas she got sick. She's much better now but that was very nerve racking.

Roll Over!

Sophie Serene, my baby girl rolled over for the first time this past hour. I'm soooo excited for her. Now we'll really need to keep an eye on our little daughter. She's doing wonderfully. I love her so much!!! Can't wait to see what the new year will bring us! Here's some pic's

I took this picture just after she rolled off the blanket.

Josie Rose

Clinton's brother Grant and his wife Tiffany had their first baby yesterday morning. Their daughter is named Josie Rose, 7lbs 30z 19.5 inches long. We're so happy and proud of them. She's adorable. I don't however have any pictures of my own yet because my camera needed new batteries :( She has lots of hair! Pictures to come soon!

Welcome Josie Rose Sjoquist!
