Sophie's Bike

She finally did it! She got on her bike...all the way. She even let Adam push her around the kitchen. It's the little things in our house...just the little things. 

All dressed up...for Publix

Sophie was fully accessorized for our trip to Publix. I decided to post all of the pictures to show you how difficult it is to capture her on camera. It's like trying to herd a cat. I never did get one that wasn't in motion! 

This could be a problem...eventually

The Hamiltons were at our house for a cook-out and we discovered that Sophie really likes to sit in David's lap. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but it was very cute. Every time David wanted to get up, Sophie would stand up and let him out. When he came back she stood up again to let him sit down so she could sit in his lap.

Some people in my life just make me smile...

Others make me laugh hysterically... 

Josie does both.

First Hockey Game

We took Sophie to see the TN High School State Championship hockey game at the Arena in Nashville. What? You didn't know Tennessee schools HAD hockey? Yeah, me neither. This was a really cheap way (ie: free) to take Sophie to the Arena to watch hockey. She loved it! She talks about skating now...all the time. Hmmm...I might know someone who can teach her to skate!
