Updates

I feel like I never have time to keep this current anymore. I have all of Sophia's monthly posts ready, but the pictures still need to be added before I use the power of blogger to make it look like they were posted in a timely fashion. I can't believe she is already thirteen months old! What happened to the time!

School is on Spring Break this week and I am enjoying the much needed time away from my students. This year has been challenging. I am having a hard time finding balance between school and home. I don't feel I am doing the best I can in either area, but I am doing the best I am able to do right now. Papers may take a little longer to get graded, the house may not get cleaned regularly, but it is getting done at a pace I can handle. Soon it will be summer.

Just a few recent unedited phone pictures of my little lady...hopefully I will find time to blog more soon. Today a visit to the dentist is in order.

Blowing kisses is the new way to kiss goodnight at our house.
I kind of miss the tongue-out kisses she used to give, but I'm happy for any kind of kiss I can get!

Plates make great drums!

Working on eating from a plate.

Walking in the park with Daddy.
I might have teared up while taking this picture.
Wishing I could freeze time!

Loving any toy with buttons that makes noise.

Morning drumming on the front door.

Out for a walk on a beautiful day.

She's ONE!

We just had a little family celebration for Sophia's First Birthday.
Be prepared for picture overload!
 
Sophia enjoyed her first cupcake while my mom was in town.
 
 

 

 

 
Dave wanted Sophia to have her cake on her birthday, so after dinner she got to dig in. 
Nothing fancy, but perfect for her.

Her cake made by a sweet friend.
Ready to dig in!
 


Well, hello little bunny head.
She *might* have stepped in her cake.
The pups helped clean off her toes :)
