Happy Thanksgiving everyone! There is SO much to be thankful for this year. We are so blessed to have a happy and healthy family and another little girl on the way. Here are a few photos from our wonderful Thanksgiving! Wish there were more but we were having camera trouble : (

Sophisms Take 2...

For the records

Top 3 things out of Sophia's mouth on a daily basis:

"Mama/Daddy/inanimate object, what are you doin?"
"Mommy/Daddy, hold you" (meaning, hold me)
"Sumpin else?" (meaning, I don't want whatever it is you are offering me)

And some of our current favorite words/sayings:

-Nipples = Nickels "Mama, what are those nickels doin?" (while she is taking a bath. because apparently, nipples have an agenda)

-Marshmallows = Marshmeadows "Mama, have marshmeadows?" (asked about 50 times a day-current obsession)

-"Oh my gosh!"

-"I wanna _____ too" - In response to everything these days. For example:
mom: we're going to Ailey's house.
soph: see Paula too?
mom: yes, Paula will be there too.
soph: I wanna a Paula too.

mom: time to change your diaper.
soph: I wanna diaper too.

Mom: mommy needs to go to work.
soph: I wanna a work too"

-"...SO much"- For example:
"Daddy, I love you SO much"
"This horsey runs SO much"
"I eat it SO much"

-And finally....tonight I taught her to say "Amen Sister!" We'll see how well she does using it in the correct context.

Here is a video of Sophia singing her ABCs. It's hard to tell since the video is so dark but she's using the knob that makes the office chair go up and down as a microphone...

Happy Birthday Dorian & Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet

This weekend we drove down to Dayton to celebrate my cousin Dorian's birthday and Halloween with the family. Mommy and Daddy also dressed up like UPS delivery people and delivered a big box filled with balloons announcing what gender my sibling will be! Lots of pictures below

Rules of Trick or Treating according to Miss Sophia (and here we thought she would be too afraid to go along with it):

1.) You must try to gain entry in to each house handing out candy.

2.) If there is an animal at said house, you must refuse all candy and demand to play with dog/cat for the duration of trick or treating, or until parents drag you away kicking and screaming.

3.) If candy is handed to you, you must push past the hand that gives and dig right in to the bowl to pick for yourself.

4.) This is key...you must walk backwards to each house. (no joke-see picture #5)

5.) You must roll around in the grass of each house and pose like cleopatra and/or Rose from the Titanic.

Sophia, you could not be any more silly if you tried. You light up our world, baby girl!
