Sophie's 9 month birthday

HAHA Yes that is a blue sippy.... she likes Karter's better than hers... just as Karter likes Heidi's better than his.... you know how it goes :)

My sweet Sophie Lynne is 9 months old already. WOW! That means no more bottles to wash in 3 months :)!! YAY!!! haha!

What's going on in Sophie's World at 9 months:
* She weighs 15 lbs
*She's made it back on the charts... she is now in the 5th% for weight. Dr E told me today that he will most likely put her on the formula for toddlers when she turns one instead of milk because of the calories.
*She's 27 1/4" long (average height and head circumference)
*She still wears a size 1-2 Pampers Swaddlers... and has been in some size 2 diapers... they are a little big, but I'm not going to buy anymore 1-2, so a 2 shall be it from now on.
*She still has fluid on both ears :(... the left one worse than the right :(
*She can crawl super fast
*She can pull up on pretty much anything
*She loves to "talk" and just yell out... just to let you know she is still here
*She still wears her pearl bracelet :)
*She really doesn't like to have the headband/flower/bow in her hair anymore :(
*I fix a 6 oz bottle each time, but like tonight, she only drank 3 oz. She rarely drinks an entire bottle, but I keep fixing 6 hoping that she will.
*She says "bye bye bye" and does her hand in a bye bye motion
*She eats oatmeal, cereal, or yogurt for breakfast, Kids World says she eats well for them... I send a veg and fruit for lunch, so I'm assuming she eats both of those for them., and most nights she'll eat at least 1 jar of baby food.... every blue moon she'll eat 2, but usually at least 1 1/4 of food... sometimes 1 1/2.
*She still loves her paci when she's upset or sleepy
*She sleeps ALL night... YAY!!!
*She loves her Mommy :) and her Mommy loves her!!


These were taken this morning at the doctor's office:

This baby girl lights my World up!! Soooo sweet.

I hate her ears still aren't back to normal, so I have to take her back in 3 weeks to get a check on them.

*** Valerie the blog facelift was for you... I hope that helped your problem.

Monday ALL Day!

For a Monday, today was wonderful.

Tonight we went and ate at Lindsay's house. The food was yummy and the kids had a ball!

Before we picked Heidi up from dance and headed to Lindsay's, Kyle, Karter, Sophie, and I hung out outside. I actually talked Karter into taking some pictures :)!! I ended up cutting me out of 2 of them.... was not liking them :)!!

I also sweet talked Kyle into working on a project of mine for Sophie's party :)!! Such a good husband!

Sophie girl waiting... ignore the tank in the background. Something Kyle brought home from work for he and his dad to "work" on.... they have a "portable grill" in mind!

Amanda and Jonathan also ate at Lindsay's.

Peek-A-Boo.....

Amanda told Karter he would ride her on the bike... so he didn't forget of course.... but Jonathan had to test it out first :)!

Sophie was practicing her ABC's *L*!

In between them watching the game Heidi was playing on Kyle's phone, Sophie was also "attacking" her.

Look at this huge smile....

Jonathan had to get him some practice in *L*!

Amanda had to get her picture taken with Soph's toes... although you can't even see them.

Sweet Daddy!!

Baby Karter *L* and Amanda.... oh payback is soooo coming back to her one day.

When we left Lindsay's, we went to Papa and Nana's to get the girls' birthday invitations.

Papa loves his Sophie

Heidi sure was concentrating on the blocks....

Kyle of course took these pictures... so there's only a gazillion *L*!

I tried to upload a video of this in action, but it wouldn't work :(

Nana and Sophie....

Here are some pictures Kyle took on his phone if the hail.....

Here's more he took on his phone from Brayden's party Saturday:

Karter was all about the gold fish in the vase..... haha
Kyle was afraid they were party favors *L*

And then just to leave on a funny note.... here's a text picture I got from my silly brother :) Makes me laugh out loud!

Well.... I sure am tired :) taking super to a friend tomorrow night that has a new baby. I think I am going to take the "gourmet" chicken noodle soup :)!

**The Rattlesnake Rodeo is this weekend.... in case you didn't know (& those of you that know me well know....) I LOVE to go to the ORR!! I like to just walk around and eat and watch things. I have always enjoyed it. I actually have to work at it Friday night.

Anyway.... good day so maybe that means for a good week :)!!
