Our 1 year old!

Can it really be true that we have a 1 year old, a toddler, not a baby anymore!?!?! It is crazy how time has flown by and how big our little pumpkin has gotten. Sophie turned 1 yesterday, July 31st and here is how she/us celebrated:

- Woke up at 5:15am (who needs a rooster when you have a child?) to get the party started
-Found goldfish in the diaper bag and ate those for breakfast on the kitchen floor
-Took a rather short morning nap considering the fact that she had awoken so prematurely
-Ran errands with mama to get things for her party
-Fell asleep in the car, did not make a successful transfer to bed, was awake all afternoon
-Decided that screaming is the best way to get our attention, for anything and at anytime (i thought we were through that stage but not so much)
-fell asleep in the car on the way to pick up dada but woke up during the transfer
-bought a car (well sophie didn't but we did)
-had dinner with some friends (dinner as in a kiwi, and a piece of a cookie)
-finally fell asleep in the car at 9pm on our way home
- woke up at 11pm screaming...stayed up for about a half an hour....went back to sleep
-couldn't find her paci so woke up again at 1 screaming, got her the paci and went back to sleep and slept til 6:30am
ahh what a first birthday!

Some cute & fun things she has been doing lately
- when she plays with a phone (specifically my cell phone (i know, i know) she puts it up to her ear like she's talking to someone
- she tries to brush her own teeth - she has 11 of them
- she tries to brush her own hair
- she knows what to do with a wipe -- if i hand her a wipe she no longer tries to eat it, but tries to wipe herself! how productive!
- has been pulling up on furniture and can walk around a few things
- trying to feed herself with a spoon
- says mama, can say dada but when I ask her to say dada she always says mama instead, silly girl!

That is our little, lovable babe! We are so blessed and so thankful for her in our lives! And yes, we bought a car, and no it was not the Rav4. That did not work out, to say the least. We did however find a nice, used Highlander for a great price from a really lovely older couple! God is good.
