More Pictures

Here are some cute pictures of Sofie. She was enjoying the Readers Digest, with her laundry on her head. The cute P.J.'s are from Grandma LaDawn, Sofie was trying to pull the little pom pom's off.

I folded

Well we bought a new car and guess what, it's a van. We received in the mail an advertisment for a car dealer and we "won" a gift card if we went in. Well we went to check it out and we walked out with a van and a $5 gift card. Pretty good deal for them but we are wondering what we did. We are good with it though, we wanted something else but it wasn't in the budget, I never wanted a van but in the end I was o.k. with this type of van. I feel lame with one kid and a van but we eventually want some more kids so this will work well for us. Here are some pictures of it.

The ride to Salt Lake & other pictures

Sofie and I were on our way into SL to pick up Dad and she was happy reading her book.She is starting to look so grown up. Here she is in one of the outfits she got for her birthday, with her cell phone. She already is attached to the thing. Oh boy what are we in for.Sofie was playing in the office while I was trying to get some things done. She know she shouldn't be in here but this is now one of her favorite places to play. Maybe because it's off limits.

Princess and the peas

Sofie did not like baby food peas but she loves the real things. Which I know she got from Nathan because they are gross. Just don't tell Sofie I said that. I even tried them again the other day and me opinion hasn't changed. But I am glad Sofie enjoys them. She had to show everyone what was in her mouth.

Having fun

Sofie was playing with the clothes hamper the other day and decided to crawl in. She got the best of it in the end. As you can see it was time to do laundry, we were running low on clothes. Just kidding. Somehow she got away without clothes on.

What's in a name?

I have decided to blog about why we spelled Sofie's name the way we did. I have had a lot of people ask me why we spelled it this way. Nathan last night said "yeah why did we do that?" When I was pregnant with Sofie Nathan and I could not choose a girl name, boys names were no problem but girls were a different story. I was reading on a baby site (i am not sure which one) where you type in a name and they give you the meaning and spelling and also people's comments about the name. A couple people had written that when they were little other kids would call them soapy instead of Sofie. So to save her from that we spelled it differently. Well guess what she still gets called soapy. These kids can't read so it must just be the way it comes out of their mouth. and I have to admit I have said it a couple time too, it just comes out wrong. Although it is cute when they call her soapy I just hope that it won't scar her for life, but having to spell it all through school might. So that is why.

Also our neighbor called last night and asked if I would watch her son every other Friday for a couple of hours in the morning. I said yes and He came over today. He is really good with Sofie, puts up with her taking things from him constantly and very gentle with her so I think it might go well. Here is a picture of the two of them together.

First steps

Sofie took her first steps today. She was trying to get something from me and took one little step and then later in the day she took a very timid step between the couch and the coffee table. She is getting so bit so fast, it is just amazing. Here are some pictures enjoying corn and just a couple other cute ones.
