This baby has really been going gangbusters in the growing department lately. You won't believe it (mom and sisters) when we come for Christmas! Just make sure you've got some whole milk in the fridge. :-)
Looking rather serious and grown up. I told you!
We hung out with the Lucas girls last week! Sophia is only about a year younger than Annie, but Annie wanted to hold the baby. Too cute!
Here she is with her BFF Eloise. We had Tim and Jessie over for dinner and the girls were quite a circus at the dinner table. So afterwards they splashed around in the tub together and then we put them in their jammies and they both went to sleep. Jessie and I were quite pleased with ourselves and decided to celebrate by going to Wal-Mart baby-less and they promptly woke up.
You can kind of see Sophia's two new top front teeth in this picture.

Hi! Sorry there hasn't been much to visit my blog for lately. Despite my lack of posts I do have a lot to report. Here goes...
Sophia took her first steps a week ago! It was 3 or 4 steps in pursuit of a toy and I'm not sure she really even realized she did it until we coaxed her into doing it a few more times. Since then she hasn't really attempted it many times, but it is only a matter of time I am sure.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving and hope you did too. We ate Thanksgiving dinner with Ben's Grandma Betty at her retirement home along with Dick, Kathy and Ben's Uncle Dave and Aunt Winnie.
On Saturday we drove to Lincoln City and met up with Tim and Jessie for a fun overnight beach trip complete with some outlet shopping and a dip in the hotub. Jessie and I bought the girls matching Christmas pajamas.
Sophia has started giving hugs! They are absolutely the best because she doesn't do it every day or even when you ask for one. It's only when I guess her little heart is running over and she has to let you know. She nestles in close, wraps her little arms around me as far as they will go and squeezes. HEAVEN!
When I was pregnant with Sophia the first thing I bought her was a little soft dolly. Recently Dolly has become a very important person around our house. Sophia likes to tuck her in between her neck and shoulder and give her loves and Dolly helps her fall asleep. There just aren't words for how cute it is!
Sophia's top front teeth are officially visible and she's working on the ones right next to them now.
My house is decorated for Christmas, ALREADY! Never in the history of my adult life have I been this on top of decking the halls, but we pulled down the Christmas boxes the day after Thanksgiving this year. We have yet to get our tree, but I am hoping we can do that this weekend. I love decorating my house for Christmas. The only part I don't like is how quickly it is all over and I have to take it all down.
My good friend Jessica and her husband Joaquin found out they are having a boy! His name will be Maximo Joaquin. We can't wait until he gets here!
Well, that's November. I can't believe it's already December and My Baby is going to be a year old! I'm sure December will provide lots of good blogging opportunities!
