Potty Party!

It’s official! Sophie has said “Bye-bye, diapers! Hello, underpants!” We celebrated on Sunday with a candlelit breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes and three packages of new panties featuring Dora the Explorer and an assortment of Disney princesses. So far, so good, with only a handful of accidents and lots of proud proclamations from Sophie. She especially loves taking advantage of the convenience our backyard as one big potty wonderland. Here are a few shots from our festivities. These aren’t as nicely edited as Brian would produce, so forgive my Photoshop mediocrity. And we promise to post vacation pics from last month sometime soon. Enjoy!

Party time! Party time!
Chocolate chip pancakes by Chef Daddy--yum! Sophie picked out the chips and left much of the rest. You go, Big Girl! Chocolate chip pancakes by Chef Daddy--yum! Sophie picked out the chips and left much of the rest. You go, Big Girl!
Zach had fun, too. Here's a classic silly face. Note all the food mess everywhere. Mostly he chews stuff up (in the front of his mouth, with 2 teeth on the bottom and 4 on top) then spits it back out. Watermelon is his ultimate favorite food and if it's around he pretty much shuns all other options. Zach had fun, too. Here's a classic silly face. Note all the food mess everywhere.

Here's Soph opening her three packs of panties, individually wrapped with love by Mommy. I am sure by the third one she was hoping for something a little more fun, but she was polite about it!

Sophie in her first ever underpants. She chose a pair with princesses for her maiden non-diaper voyage. Our little girl is getting so big! And don't even get me started on Zach turning one next week... Sophie in her first ever underpants. She chose a pair with princesses for her maiden non-diaper voyage.

July Weekend

Well technically it wasn’t all on the weekend, but who’s counting anyway? At least there was sun!

Raspberry picking. Raspberry picking.
Summer reflection. Summer reflection.
'When he gets older I'll ask him if he wants to dance. And what will he say?' 'When he gets older I'll ask him if he wants to dance. And what will he say?'
'He'll say yes.' 'He'll say yes.'
Silly faces? Silly faces?
What's yours? What's yours?
Lets see... And if I do this... Hmmmm. Now what? Am I standing? Lets see... And if I do this... Hmmmm. Now what? Am I standing?

Birthday Girl!

Sophie's 2nd birthday was January 6th and we celebrated several times, including a party with some friends & family on January 3rd, complete with a cake modeled after one of her favorite stuffed animal friends (an Easter gift from Nana). Included below are more photos from that day. She loved being the birthday girl and has been singing the birthday song a lot, to everyone and everything. In the car the other day she even sang "Happy Birthday to Snow" and "Happy Birthday to House." She has been making some fun proclamations lately, and has been using the pronoun "I" much more regularly. Here are some recent favorite quotes from our little leading lady: "I don't sit by myself. I'm a little baby." (on whether she'd like to sit in her own chair or mommy's lap for dinner) "No, THAT's not a good song." (on her desire to have us change the tune on the car radio) She had her 2-year checkup last week and all looks good. She's up into the 10th percentile for height & weight (maybe due to her increasing interest in food lately). Her current favorites: Cream cheese (on anything, or better yet, on her finger) and pistachios. And she loves to peel & eat her own "Clementimes."
