Trunk or treating

What was supposed to take place with everyone's cars got taken inside because of rain. But we had fun! We dressed up as Peter Pan, Tiger Lilly and Tinkerbelle (violet was supposed to go with us as the crocodile too). Sophia won the "most original kids costume"! 

Pre costume

It's supposed to be 80 degrees today and tomorrow so I probably won't take her anywhere in this shirt but it's cute so I thought we better at least take a picture! Tonight were doing a "trunk or treat" with Stephen's company so I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post them so you all can see our costumes! I'm going to keep it a surprise for now though! (I'm really excited about our first family costumes though!!)

Sophia has been eating all sorts of delicious fall foods lately. Yesterday she had a pumpkin, sweet potato and apple purée with cinnamon and nutmeg and she loved it! She also had some nice squash at daycare. I have her pumpkin and bananas with cinnamon and nutmeg today and she wasn't sure about it at first but ended up eating almost all of it. Ian so proud of my good little eater! She gets so excited when I bring over a dish with one of her spoons in it!

Lady Babies

My friend Tara has twin girls and she calls them her lady babies. They are so cute! We went to the park all together the other day and all the girls went on the swings. Sophia loved it!

Seven months old

Hello my name is Sophia and I am seven months old today! I had apple cinnamon oatmeal today for breakfast (it was ok... I like carrots and pears better than apples). 

My favorite toy is anything that makes that crinkle sound, or mommy's iPad/ iPhone (she has a game on there for me that when I touch the screen, animals pop out and make sounds!)

I like long family walks and when our dog Violet pays attention to me( she is he only one in the family that isn't always paying attention to me!) but I am still learning to be gentle when I pet her... So maybe that is why.

I love kicking off my socks and I REALLY want to crawl. I know how to get my legs up under me but I can't seem to go anywhere yet!

We'll let's get on to what you all really want to see- pictures of me!

Being sassy

The Rounds

Today we made the rounds visiting all my family. First we went to visit my Omah and Bill and we had some lovely pastries and tea.

And since it's supposed going to be warm (and not cool like I was expecting and the watcher channel said it was going to be) we stopped at H&M and got a few things to get us through the trip.

(But not actually this cute hat)

And then we went to see grandma Peggy and Papa and Sophia had her first piano lesson

And we took another 4 generation photo

Then we went home and got everything all ready to go Kristy's wedding rehearsal, but more on that later.

Mommy's little jet setter

Sophia and I flew home for my cousin's wedding yesterday and she was amazing in the airports and flights. She slept through the takeoff of our first flight and almost completely through the second flight. And in the airport for some of our layover. What a perfect little jet setter! 

She had a great time talking with and smiling at everyone who said hi to her (which was a lot of people!) and except for the coming down part of our first flight, she didn't cry once!

And the hello kitty outfit I got for her was perfect! Comfy and cute!

Gigi was waiting for us at the airport and she was excited to see us!

And then we went home and they had some surprises waiting for us! 

A bit girl chair so Sophia can sit at the table!

And some fun toys borrowed from daddy's younger cousin Madeline. 

Stephen and I also went to an Indian restaurant to celebrate our 2nd anniversary on Tuesday and she had a great time with us. The people who worked there thought she was the cutest thing and kept coming over to check up on us and say hi. She was given a few pieces of cheese and some rice pudding and she was absolutely loving it!

 

She enjoyed playing with the straw I gave her too!
