Happy Baby

Is there anything in this world better than a happy baby? I'll answer that. NO! I feel like the most blessed mom on the planet to have a baby with such a joyful soul.

Dinner Time!

Since Lola Mae is participating in dinner time now, there is never a dull moment. Sophia is a really big helper, even when Lola Mae thinks she is full. It's very entertaining.

The Holidays

Christmas was a blast all around. We got to go home for a very short week and visit family to introduce Lola Mae to most of them. It was way too short-as always-and we are sorry to all of our friends that we could not visit. We only saw family this time. We hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Then and Now...

These pictures are of me and Sophia-at 4 months, and me and Lola Mae-at 5 months.

We're Ready!!

Here are a few pictures of the inside of the house. If you have seen the movie Elf, you know what my inspiration was. Some are taken only by the light of the tree, but it's the only way to get the true sense of my winter wonderland! Cole and I got a little competitive making snowflakes. I won't say which ones are mine (but they rock).

Tea Time

We happened upon a tea party that Sophia had set up for her and some friends the other day. She did the whole thing by herself. Even the table cloth (her baby's blanket). She passed out "tea" and cookies to her guests and they had a good old fashioned tea party. It was priceless.

The List

Sophia asked me for some paper and a pen so she could make a list. No big deal she always makes her own grocery list anyway. Then she comes to me and asks for "this many pieces" of tape, and she held up four fingers. I gave it to her of course. Then a few minnutes later I went into the living room because she said I "had to see this". She showed me that she had made her Christmas list and put it on the wall so Santa would see it. So we are leaving it for him to see...

Let it snow!

We got some snow last night. Sophia had a blast making snow angels and throwing snow balls at Willie. She had to get up and go out there 1st thing this morning, even before her morning chocolate milk.

She Dresses Herself

Surely by now you all know that Sophia usually dresses herself. Today was no exception. She looked in the mirror and said, "Oh, I look so cute!" And off we went to the grocery store.

The Other Baby

Oh, Henry. He can't understand why he has to share the play mat with Lola Mae. And she doesn't understand what's up with the other hairy baby that tries to steal all of her toys.
