Sophie & Bax

This is me with my dog Bax. Mommy says he's the best because he lets me hang out with him. I heard he used be to be afraid of kids but he LOVES me! Love, Sophie

Just a Hello from Sophie

Baby Push Ups

When I get fussy, my mom does baby push ups with me. Here's a picture so you all can see how well baby push ups work...

Here I'm mad.

This is the "up" part.
This is the "down" part. We repeat this at least 10-15 times.
Now I'm not mad anymore because my brains are scrambled.And then I can even fall asleep!

One Month

On Saturday June 7, 2008 Sophie was one month old. We got all dressed up for Sophie's cousin Rob's graduation from high school. Thanks to the Myatts for this beautiful Sarah Louise dress... we loved it!

Tummy Time

Hi Everybody! So, since I am 4+ weeks now, Mom started me with tummy time on my cute new playmat (thanks Colleen!). I like it OK- and I am pretty strong at lifting my head and can even roll over- Mom caught me in the act in the picture below. Enjoy! Love, Sophie

Good-Bye Hollywood

Most of you know how much I love my long time partner Willie. He and I have been eventing together for almost 11 years. Last week he left our farm for South Carolina- I am leasing him to friends there while I devote my time to Sophie and my young horse Henry. Sending him away was more difficult than I had anticipated- which is why I haven't been able to write about it until now. He has arrived safely at his new home- which is a gorgeous brand new, state of the art facility, and all reports are that he has settled in nicely and is very happy. I know Melanie, Kathy, & the ladies in SC will take wonderful care of him, but we miss him just the same.

4 Weeks

Everyone has been asking... Sorry I haven't posted in a week or so. Truth is, we don't do all that much that is noteworthy around here. I find myself doing things I never dreamed of- like, um- watching The View and Y&R. Sophie turns 4 weeks tomorrow. I can't believe how fast 4 weeks has gone. She is steadily gaining weight and her cheeks are getting really full and cute (see below). Her eyes seem to be turning lighter blue, so maybe they'll stay blue? And her eyebrows seem more prominent to me. Who knows, I stare at her about 15 hours a day, so its hard for me to see the changes. We do manage to get out for walks and playdates with Deb and Jack. Otherwise, our day goes something like this: eat, burp, sleep, change diaper, read book, let dogs in, let dogs out, go out to barn to visit Mosby, repeat series over and over. I'm not complaining! Can't think of anything I'd rather be doing.
We have a playdate with Deb and Jack tomorrow, some visitors coming in the next few weeks and my nephew Rob's graduation this weekend, and so hopefully there will be more exciting pictures to post soon.
