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.

Last Week of Maternity Leave

Sadly, I am enjoying my last few days of maternity leave this week. Sophie and I have been shopping b/c I have NO work clothes that fit... oh, the joys of motherhood. She is getting to be so much fun- she is napping more regularly, sleeping through the night, and doing lots interacting. She just started two new things this week- real giggles (not just squeaks)- it is so funny b/c she just cracks up when you tickle her... and she is grasping objects intentionally. Everyday is such a joy- I feel lucky to have had 12 weeks- but nonetheless I am not looking forward to getting back to reality. Sophie's Bia is coming this weekend and staying to take care of her through September, and then she'll go to day care at the end of September. I just can't fathom what it will be like to only see her a few hours a day. I guess I'll get used to it??!!
