Sophia Meets Addison

On our way back to Tennessee from Louisiana, we stopped off in Birmingham for a visit with the Powells.   Mandy is one of my best friends from childhood, and last year at this time we were both early on in our pregnancies for our first children.  We were due 2 weeks apart and it was fun sharing all of our first pregnancy moments with each other.  After more than six months, though, our sweet girls finally got to meet!  They had a great time playing together!

She liked it so much that we got one for ourselves!

 Happy Girls!

Sophia's Baptism

We finally made our first trip to Louisiana since Sophia was born and the trip included having Sophia baptized.  It was a beautiful event and we were so glad to be able to share it with our families.  Nick's dad was also nice enough to host a little gathering at his house after the ceremony which we all enjoyed even though Sophia slept through most of it!

Sophia Sits...Sort Of!

Sophia continues to grow so much and her newest trick is practicing her sitting.  She is quite wobbly, but she is starting to get much better at balancing herself.  She can keep herself up for a few minutes at a time, but she usually gets really excited and proud of herself which then causes her to topple over!

Look Mom, no hands! 

She got a little brave here and was so excited that she fell backwards right after this picture...needless to say, this is the last pic from that photo session!

Toes Anyone?

As I mentioned before, Sophia has discovered her toes and they are her favorite toy.  Well, now we can also make them her favorite snack!  I have caught her on several occasions sucking her toes!  Last week her babysitter even told us that she heard a loud sucking noise coming from where Sophia was playing and she walked over to check on her and she was sucking her toes! Who needs solid foods anyway??

 Almost there!

 Got it! Mmmm delish!

What mom? They're good!

My First Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day.  Sunday morning Nick cooked a delicious breakfast and we went to church.  The weather was gorgeous so that afternoon we went for a long walk...even jogged a little, and then went for yogurt.  We ended the day with a delicious steak dinner at home.  Overall, I couldn't have asked for anything better.  It was a perfect day with my two loves!

Six Months and Solid Foods!!

Well, our baby girl is officially half a year old as of April 30th and we can't believe how fast the time has gone!  She is growing so fast. She now weighs 14lbs 12oz and is 24.75in long. She's in the 25th % for both which is awesome!!  We started solid foods a couple of weeks ago, and she seems to be getting the hang of it.  Of course, some days she is more enthusiastic than others.  Here are some pics from her first attempt at solids.  She wasn't too thrilled that day!!

 Do I have to??

 I think the bib got most of this meal!

Figuring it out!
