Toddling

I. have. a. toddler. 

Holy shit. (pardon my cursing)

Todd-ler... as in, walking child. As in, not a baby anymore.

A one year old.

It has been a full year.

Holy shit. (pardon my cursing once again)

...................................................................

I have been very preoccupied. Sophia's first birthday party is this Saturday and I have been making everything by hand. It has been a HUGE project but it is turning out.... AWESOME! I didn't think I could do it. Usually when I try to put large things together like this the theme gets lost because I try to do so much. Luckily because we are on a tight budget I can't do a whole lot - hence making everything! Her theme is "Sunshine". She is my little sunshine and the name holds a fondness for me... so it seemed appropriate. I promise to post pictures after the party!!

Here's what you've missed (aka I have failed to blog about on time):

. Sophia went on her first airplane ride! We traveled to St. Louis for almost a week. It was so much fun and the weather was amazing!

. Sophia is walking. Yes... walking... or should I say toddling. It seems like it happened overnight! She can even stand her self back up if she falls down without any assistance!

. I turned 26.

. Sophia loves to clap and wave! No talking yet but she understands A LOT! She is also into sharing right now!

. Still no teeth. ugh. Laurin is convinced that she'll never have any! :)

. Still reintroducing solids but so far no reaction! (I have an inkling -sp? that it might be dairy)

. Sophia HATES grass... weird for a kid I know.

. We've been told for the umpteenth time that we need to enter Sophia into some sort of photo contest. Not to toot my own horn, but she is pretty dang cute! :) And yes, child modeling is something I am considering...


I am in the process of writing a post about Sophia's birth story..  mostly for myself, but I find my memory getting a little foggy, which is frustrating! But keep on the lookout, in case you'd be interested in reading it!

Hope everyone is having a great June! And...... HELLO FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!

37 weeks pregnant.. my last belly photo.
