Our Silly Sophie

This post is purely for my own benefit. It may make you smile or say ‘awwe, I remember when my baby did that!’ or ‘I wish my baby was still small enough to snuggle’ but basically it is for my own amusement. 🙂 Here are some of the silly things that Soph does that makes us say ‘how did we get so lucky?’

Sophie LOVES smiling. Mostly at herself whenever she spots herself in a mirror or the iPhone. She also gets super excited and kicks her legs whenever she hears Frozen’s ‘Let it Go.’

She also loves her big furry sister, Lexi. Her favorite things are rubbing her feet on her fur and biting her face.

Soph is a very talented girl in our eyes! Already drinking from cups and blogging with Mommy.

I love when she gets sleepy. She has a lot of normal signs like rubbing eyes or monotone murmuring. The more unique things that tell us she’s definitely sleepy is that she has one eye that gets smaller than the other.

From her Daddy, she learned her love of reading and really studies each page.

The biggest reason we love our silly Sophie is because she already has such a personality. She’s mostly happy but she’s also very independent and inquisitive.

facesI hope you enjoyed a sneak peak into our little bean. I’m just so proud and thankful to have her in our lives. Now if I could just get her to stay awake all the time and let me kiss those cheeks!!

Early Days

Do you ever look back on a time in your life and say ‘I wish I had more photos!’ I wish that regarding my pregnancy belly days. I have very few photos of just me featuring the bean in my belly. Here’s the best I can do to update you on my growing belly.

This photo is the first photo I have and it’s from when I was 3mo pregnant next to our newly planted tree.

    Here I am quite a bit later into the summer when we went to the drive-in. I live in the Midwest so that explains the vast fields surrounding the drive-in. (We saw Superman if you were curious and yes, it was super uncomfortable!)

We went to Babies R Us for who knows what? Most likely we didn’t even get anything baby related but a set of Legos for ourselves. This was the first time I’d ever used the expecting moms parking which was completely unnecessary but the parking lot was pretty empty.

This is a shot from my last day of work. I was surprised with flowers from my husband as well as a going away party/baby shower from my office mates.

This is when I was trying to fit in and look like a Friday’s employee. Not really, it just was really strange when I walked in and looked like the hostess.

We went to the orchard the day I was due to walk around to help the process. It was not successful but I kept going on outings for the next two weeks! Everyone was nervous when they’d find out I was due two weeks ago.

Thankfully we did get maternity photos. I wanted them super casual out by our house. We got tons taken by Erin but these were my favorites. I highly recommend getting pictures of pets as well as your home during this shoot.

I have a pretty terrible memory so pictures and video help me keep track of the fun trips as well as the mundane in my life. Is there a time frame from your life you wish you had more photos?
