Race for the Cure

Saturday morning we joined 52,000 people downtown Columbus for the Race for the Cure.

I organized a group from work of 24 associates and their families, "The Excelerators."  It was a beautiful sunny day, temps in the 60's and was absolutely amazing to see that many people come together for such a good cause with their many shades of pink to support those who have fought their battle against breast cancer and won and those who we are fighting the good fight lost their lives.  We all had a great time walkers and runners.  

Sophie seemed to enjoy watching all the people in their pink wigs and then when all was said and done she fell asleep.

I'm Big Stuff..Sitting Up

The past few weeks have been a lot of fun with Sophie...she has learned a few new things...

She is sitting up without having us help her balance.  She does really well, minus the occasional wobble.  She is really enjoying being independent and seeing the world from a different perspective, she actually gets upset when she can reach her taller toys from her belly.  We do our best to give her as much sit up time as we possibly can. 

She recently has discovered how to say baa, da, ma, ga.  She bibble babbles a good portion of the day. Her daddy says she is a lot like someone else he knows..wonder who he could be referring to ( me :)

Another recent development is her sitting in her high chair and eating baby food. Some of her favorite foods are apples and carrots.  However, bananas, sweet potatoes, peaches, and pears seem to go in her mouth quite easily..green beans and peas are a little more challenging, but when mixed with rice cereal no problem.

Last but not least she has discovered how to turn herself in a circle up on her arms..not crawling yet though..soon enough.

Swinging and Sliding...

This past Friday we had Sophie's swing set delivered, but it rained all weekend so we didn't have a chance to take her out to swing.  Last night it was still in the low 70's and sunny so we took her out and put her in her swing...she loved it.  So we decided to give the slide a try with Daddy's help and she loved that too..lots of smiles and giggles made the money spent on the swing set priceless.
