Sophie Stolley, Tennis Star

My mom's friend Mary thinks I look like a future tennis star in this outfit. It was from my bia's good friend Helena. I'm pretty cute in it, huh? Love, Sophie

The Bow

My mom once swore she would NEVER put a bow headband on my hairless (except for the mohawk) head b/c she thinks it is super cheesy. Well, Bia put this one on me and now mom thinks its so cute that she is buying me more of them. Great. Just what I need. Love, Sophie

Tummy Time Pro

I'm a real professional at tummy time these days. I even try to grab toys from my tummy. I'm getting very strong and I'm on the way to sitting up on my very own soon.

Last Week

Sorry we have been so busy, we have not had time to post. My dad has been traveling and I have only seen him on the weekends. We just got back from Florida visiting with the whole Stolley family and we'll post pictures from that later. Last week, I had a visit from my Grandpa & Mimi. They stayed with me while Bia went to michigan (something about her anniversary). They were awesome and I'm glad I got to spend so much time with them. But without Bia, there were no pictures. Then, Bia came back and took these (see below). We have lots to post, so check back soon. Love, Sophie Sometimes the pictures get old-
Lunch with Mommy....
Dad and me reading the book about Oliver the elephant....

New Friends!

Hi all, My new friends Val, Damien & my auntie Jenny came over last weekend for some hang out time. We had the best time- I loved Damien. He was so cool....he had the best faces. Val fed me all my bottles and Jenny put me to sleep. Wow it was super fun!
Val rode Mosby too. Mom said she was really GOOD.

Just another day

TOYS

Hey everybody, I am having even more fun these days because now I am interested in all kinds of toys. I have this very cool book that talks to me- it is from the Bagenstoses. Here I am reading it with mommy and my horse (which is from my Nanabel and I am NEVER without it except when mommy washes it- usually when i am sleeping): Here I am reading with my daddy- don't we look alike?This is me in my "office" with all my gadgets from my friends Annie and Jefro.

And Mom thought we should post this picture just because its cute!

Playing with Bia

I just wanted to let everyone know that even though my mommy is at work, I am in the best of hands. My Bia plays with me all day. Here are some pictures she took from this morning. We sent them to my mommy via email. Everyday Bia and I write Mommy emails with pictures about what we are doing that day. Mommy says it is so fun for her to get updates on me when she is at work! Love, Sophie

Back to Work

My first day of work was yesterday. It was very difficult for me to leave Sophie for the day and I hate seeing her in the evenings only, especially because she's usually fussy at that time. It might be easier when she is in daycare in my building so I can visit her more often. But for now, she is continuing her regular schedule with Bia and I think they are enjoying each other. Oliver is gone this week, and traveling most of August for work, but he'll be home on the weekends. Its going to be hard to keep up with work, the horses and the baby... I am so glad my mom is here!

More Swimming...

Hi Everybody. Our friend Deborah has a friend named Brian who takes care of a country home (with 100 acre farm) in Bluemont. The farm has a beautiful pool and we were invited to go swimming there yesterday. Check it out- it was awesome! Love, Sophie
This is me with my best friend Jack Foster-
I'm not so sure about sitting up on my own.
Here is Jack Foster and his mommy in the beautiful pool.
And this is Brian's corgi Winslow. He was SO CUTE- almost as cute as my dogs at home.
