Happy Father's Day Dad!

Happy Father's Day Dad, I miss you and wish I could give you a huge hug. Thank you for being such a wonderful Dad and Grandpa. I love you very much!! XOXOXO

Sick Little Sweetie

So last night was our first Emergency room visit as parents. Sophia has been feeling a bit under the weather the last couple of days, but nothing serious. Then last night about 9:30 we heard her coughing in her room. When we went to check on her she felt really warm, and was having trouble breathing. She was wheezing and having difficulty calming down. We called her pediatrician, who listened to Soph breathe to her on the phone, then she suggested that we take her to the ER. She was concerned with how fast Sophia was breathing. Anyway...she is much better now!! She has the croup, they gave her Motrin to bring down her fever (102.3), a steroid and a breathing treatment. We had to stay at the hospital for a couple hours to make sure she didn't have a bad reaction to the treatments. But we came home and got her in bed about 1:30 ish. This morning her fever is down and she has been sleeping most of the day. She was such a sweet little girl, the nurses loved her and she looked so cute in her little baby hospital gown. I am hoping we never have to see her in one again. :)

What do you think? Can you tell she is my daughter?

A Wonderful Weekend!

"Stand and consider the wonders of God"

Job 34:14

There is nothing out of the ordinary that happened this weekend, there were no huge, exciting plans. But we were able to spend some great quality time as a family, and cherish all the wonderful blessings that make up our life!

We spent some time at home with Sophia. She is beginning to pull herself up from her army crawl, and she is trying to learn the "sippy cup". She has 4 teeth coming in at once (that will bring the total up to 6 teeth). She is really being a trooper...but it's painful and I have not found anything that really seems to bring her much comfort.

We went to the park and walked around the lake, then went and bought Coke ICEES's to cool us down from the hot humid southern day.

We also drove by our house and took some pictures of the driveway and checked on the progress of the rest of the house. We have a closing date now...July 10th. So we are getting close and really excited. Here are some pictures from our weekend!

Sophia and Cheerios's! First time with a sippy cup.... sippy cup continued.... much easier this way. Out at the park Andrew and Sophia Abby and Sophia They poured the driveway, and front walkway!! Yippee!!

First Play Date :)

Last week Sophia was invited to her first play date at her friend Samantha's house. Sam is 18 months old, but she played great with Sophia. Sam would play with puzzles and Soph would eat the pieces. I think they both had a great time, and we have another play date in the works :)Playing (eating) with the puzzle.

8 Months Old

Sophia is now 8 months old...is that possible? It seems like we just brought her home a couple days ago. She is such a sweet little girl, every day she has a new "trick" or a different part of her personality is coming out.

She loves to crawl around the room and try and eat anything she can get her hands on (or mouth on). This has lead to me having to tell her "NO" very sternly when she attempts to put chords into her mouth.

She is saying "Dada" and "Momma".

She lets out these funny gasps when she is happy.

She will eat any food we give her, she LOVES fresh fruit!! Her new favorite flavor is applesauce with blueberries and peaches in it.

She can put "finger food" into her mouth...carrots, Teddy Puffs, little pieces of fruit.

Andrew and I have figured out that in her 8 months of life Sophia has been on 6 plane flights

(4 of them cross-county). And she has been to 10 states.

She is an amazing little person and brings so much joy into our lives!

Back from Birmingham

We made it back safe and sound from our trip to B-ham. We arrived around 2am Friday morning, and we were quite grateful that Nana and Poppy got up with Sophia when she woke up at 7:00. We were able to visit with everyone, go to the Zoo, eat great food, have a date night, see Caleb and Abba's great new shop, and have a wonderful time!

First trip to the Zoo :) Looking at the Alligators with Dad Family picture

Playing the piano with Nana. Having fun with Daddy! First box of crayons. Trying to eat the crayons.

Heading Out!

Sorry, there have not been many updates lately. Between trying to sell this house, getting everything ready for our new house, Sophia being a little sick, packing, etc....things have been a tad hectic around her. Oh, and I couldn't find the battery charger for our camera. Anyway we are heading to Birmingham to see David and Sue's (Andrew's parent's)new home! We are looking forward to spending some family time together. We also get to see Abba and Calebs's new store!! There will be so much to post about! I promise I will have updates and pictures when we return.

Talk to you all soon....Love and kisses!!

Spring Retreat

This past weekend was our Sunday school class spring retreat. There were 18 couples and 5 kids ranging from 3 years old to 7 1/2 months (Soph). We all drove down to Myrtle Beach and stayed in three different houses. We had wonderful teaching and worship as well as a great time hanging out together at the beach or playing games. I think Andrew and I are constantly amazed that we have been blessed with another great church family after leaving such an amazing group back at Grace.

Sophia helping me pack.

She was such a trooper this weekend, she was so happy and excited. She never had a meltdown or had any trouble living with 5 other couples and two other kids.

Ready to stroll over to the beach.

Hanging out, playing and eating whatever she can get her hands on. I am pretty sure only three hand fulls of sand actually made it into her mouth :)

Ready for a nap.

First time in the pool!

Too cold!!

Way too cold!!

Friends....Anna, Rachael and Sophia. Anna is almost 2 months older than Sophia and Rachael is three. Smiley little girl :)
