growing, growing...

Sophie has grown so much over the summer and everyone always talks about how much she's grown since the last time they saw her, so I finally decided to measure her.  She has grown over 2 and half inches since May!  She is now a little over 38.5 inches tall.  We are going to have one very tall girlie on our hands, better work on her ball handling skills, she's not going to get stuck in the post position just because she's tall, haha!  :)

Something that I forgot to post last time is that Sophie is now using the potty!!  I had been trying to convince her for a while, but she wasn't having it, so I just decided to pray that she would have the desire to even do it and one day she said she needed to go and the rest is history!  I'm glad God cares for the little things in life too!  I'm also glad I'll have a small break from changing diapers!

On that note, I'll be 17 weeks pregnant this week and on October 6 we get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl.  We're all so excited and can't wait to see what the baby is!

Where Did Summer Go?

Ok, so I know I haven't posted since June 25th, but we have been so busy and some new and exciting things are happening in the Shannon household.  Let's just get you up to speed...

Travis and Sophie dressed up for church on July 3rd.

At the 4th of July parade downtown.  Sophie loved it!

Sophie and her buddy Cameron on the 4th.

This Summer we made a lot of trips to our city pool.  We had a lot of fun.  This time, daddy even got to join us!

In July, my sister Vanessa, her husband Chad and their little girl Shelby came to visit.  We went to Yellowstone...

...over the Beartooth Pass...

...the National High School Rodeo...

...the Rec center...

...Bear Country USA...

...and Mount Rushmore!  We kept them busy :)

At the beginning of August we took Sophie to the county fair.  She got to ride the carousel...

...and the Ferris Wheel.  She had a blast!

At the end of June we found out that Sophie is going to be a big sister, we kept it a secret until recently and baby number 2 due March 9th!!!  Sophie is excited about being a big sister.

At the end of August and the beginning of September we got to finally take a mini vacation down to Colorado, just the three of us.  

We took Sophie down to the Denver Aquarium.  She really liked all the fish, but her favorite thing there was the TIGER!!

This past weekend, we put a tent up in the basement for Sophie to play in, she loves it and says she wants to go camping in the Big Horns.

So what have you been up to?
