An attempt at the "perfect" first birthday photo

Okay, we won't even discuss the puking that happened in the midst of trying to get the perfect first birthday photo in the "birthday girl" dress for the invite. Here is a quick peek at the chaos of trying to get the photo. We just went with what we got...none are perfect of course!

Walking...Sort of...

Busy Ball Popper

Everyday these days seems to be an adventure with figuring out a new toy. Here's the busy ball popper from Michelle. She loves it!

And the winner is....

The little handheld radio...Sophie has mastered pushing the button over and over again (to drive mom and dad crazy). Here's a video...

Bath Time

Sophie has officially transitioned to the big bath...and she loves it! Yes, we should have done this a while ago...but it was so much easier for mom to put her in the sink. The big bath has sooo much more room to play. She also liked trying out the new big girl towel from grandma...it works much better than those "baby" towels.

Family Time

Ready for Christmas!

Sophie is ready to start opening presents. This may be the last year our tree can have "pretty" ornaments. Happy Holidays!
