Curious George

So Sophie's most favorite thing has to be Curious George.  She loves to watch the movie, which I don't mind because I like the music in it, she loves the PBS show, she loves books about George, she loves her stuffed animal George, which she sleeps with and keeps in tow almost everywhere she goes, and she loves her George pj's, which she asks almost every night to wear.  So far it has been pretty easy to tell her some nights that they need to be washed and she can't wear them.  I found some Curious George material at Wal-mart a couple of weeks ago and I made her a pillow case for her pillow, which is behind her in the picture.  A friend of mine at church found an almost 4 foot decal of George which is in her playroom downstairs, lots of times, she'll go down there and see him and say, "wow!"  

For her birthday this year, she is getting her "big girl bed" and I have my eye on some Curious George sheets for her twin bed.  I'm just glad that she is hooked on something so cute and not too annoying!

Snow Man

On Saturday we built a snowman!  Oh what fun :)

Big Girl!

Sophie has been sleeping in her bed like this now for almost a week.  She has done so well with the transition and I'm amazed at how easy it was to accomplish.  During nap time though she likes to get out of her bed as she is supposed to be falling asleep, but when I go make her get back into bed, she goes to sleep.  She's such a good girl and I can't believe she's growing up so fast.  It's hard to believe she'll be 21 months old on Saturday and only 3 short months until she's 2.  My goodness, where does time go?

We have been so busy and sick lately, so I've neglected our blog a little.  Here are some pictures to catch you up to date...

 This is Sophie Christmas morning, she go a table and chairs for her 'big' present.  She loved it and she loves to go in her room and color at them now!

 Sophie and I traveled to NC to see our family the day after Christmas.  This is Sophie with her cousin Duke.

 Travis and I went to Denver for our anniversary on the 20th.  We got to go to the Denver Nuggets game.  It was so much fun!

19 months!

I cannot believe that Sophie turned 19 months old yesterday and in 5 short months we'll have a 2 year old on our hands!  She is so fun and more of her funny personality shines through each day.  She looks just like me, but is just like Travis, I love it!  She really loves the snow, animals and babies!  She had a check up last week and is now 34.25 inches tall and 29 lbs.  She is full of energy and lights up the place with her smile.  Her kisses are the best and we thank the Lord every day for the precious gift of our Sophie!

Travis Turns 30!!!

On Friday we celebrated Travis' 30th birthday!   On the morning of his birthday he got to open his presents from us.  He was super excited and surprised.  After that we had chocolate chip cupcakes and then prepared for his party that evening.

That evening we celebrated with friends, we had lots of goodies and so much fun celebrating Travis' birthday.  I was so thankful for everyone who came and made his day even more special!  

Dress Up

It seems to be dressing up is one of Sophie's new favorite things to do.  She likes to wear Travis' shoes and my jewelry.   I was making cookie dough and icing earlier today and when I put my apron on Sophie wanted to wear one too.  It's cute!  She wanted to wear it again this evening and this time she accompanied it with Travis' hat.  I think she is too cute!
