Sophie at the State Fair

So Sophie got to visit the Great NY State Fair for the first time and I can say that she certainly enjoyed herself to the point of exhaustion. Take a look!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY SOPHIE!

We cannot believe that Sophie turned one already!

For her birthday, we went for her one year checkup.

(with shots and blood work I might add - mommy nearly passed out...)

25 pounds, 2 ounces & 32 inches = that's a solid year of 95% folks!

Sophie has turned the page on quite a few milestones all within the last

week. Exciting stuff, and so great that they are taking place right

before Grandma Morphet's eyes while she is up visiting us for 2 weeks.

So what milestone you might ask...

1) she is saying "Mama", "Dada", "woof woof", "this", "that", and "hot" on a regular basis....

2) she has also said: "jello", "hello", "pop" and a few other words on single occasions never to be heard again...

3) she popped 5 teeth within 2 days, giving her a grand total of 13 teeth

4) Can we have the drumroll please? Sophie is officially a toddler. Yes, she is walking. Started just a day

after her birthday party cruising all around the house, much to Buddy's demise. Tends to want to run rather than walk,

and has managed to beam her head a few times, too. :(

We had a great birthday - even though we had a little too much excitement at her party when cousin Megan was

rushed off to the hospital. (We were also celebrating Megan's 16th birthday party...) Megan is doing much better now.

Must have been the snow cone machine!
