Learning how to brush my teeth!

As Sophia's first birthday came and went (besides falling behind on our blog :p) I felt so proud of Simon and myself, excited for Sophia, and sad that we have already passed one full year. Where did the year go? The phrase "She only grows up once!" continues to play in my ears. It gave me clarity on how I should spend my time. Effective August 1st, I am ecstatic to say that I only work Mondays-Thursdays and have Fridays off with Sophia.

Enter to view some of our favorite moments in May before her Big ONE!

Additional Heart Melters:
-9 months When I picked Sophia up from daycare, it was so adorable to see her weave around toys and kids to crawl to me.
-10 months Sophia knew to discriminate between her Mommy and others; When she was hungry or tired, she would crawl to us and suck her chubby left thumb
-10.5 months We had a fast cruiser on all fours. She also knew how to point out for things.
-11.5 months We were high fiving and able to ask Sophia to give us things.

Nash Farm in Grapevine, Texas

Happy Spring Everyone!!!
Work has kept me busy, but when it's time to see my family nothing else really matters. The more I observe Sophia, the more amazed I am about child development. She is a firecracker these days. She will make sure to tell you when she wants something!! If you take a toy away you better have a diversion plan or drama queen will give you a piece of her mind. She can pull herself up quite well and will proudly say "Da'dA, DA DAA, Da da" over and over again! She can tell you a full story with those two simple words! Not a LICK of Ma ma!! :) She is a very confident 18 pounder. She's only in the 8% in height but that doesn't stop her from getting anywhere! She can crawl too well now. Here she is at 9.5 months enjoying Spring and the petting farm. Enter and enjoy.
