A Birthday Party

April 28, 2009 – 9:22 am

A couple Saturdays ago my parents watched Sophie while Andy and I celebrated our good friend Kristin’s birthday at her very swanky “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”-style cocktail party. It was so fun. Angel lent me her grandmother’s beautiful party dress circa the 1950s. I also donned false eyelashes for the event, many thanks to Andy. After […]

North Carolina Zoo

April 28, 2009 – 9:06 am

As promised, here are pictures from the zoo! Mom, Aunt Katy and Uncle Tom carried me a lot so I could better see all the animals. Maybe they know Shane! Uncle Tom and Aunt Katy I LOVED the giraffes. Mom said I couldn’t have a real one. But Aunt Katy and Uncle Tom bought me […]

Visiting Aunt Katy & Uncle Tom

April 25, 2009 – 12:11 am

In addition to a football, bath toys and a Greensboro Grasshoppers T-shirt, Aunt Katy and Uncle Tom gave me this beautiful bookmark, which Aunt Katy made. I loved looking at the birds from their deck. They introduced me to southern-style BBQ, but I liked my Goldfish crackers better. These magnets were the best—and right at […]

Mimicking Uncle Tom

April 22, 2009 – 10:25 pm

(Thanks, Katy, for the great picture—and the great visit!) “My uncle ordered popoversfrom the restaurant’s bill of fare.And, when they were served,he regarded them with a penetrating stare.Then he spoke great words of wisdomas he sat there on that chair:“To eat these things,” said my uncle,“You must exercise great care.You may swallow down what’s solid,but […]

Sophie’s First (Well, Technically Second) Steps

April 20, 2009 – 10:14 pm

She Walks!

April 20, 2009 – 2:46 pm

Only yesterday did Sophie really start standing on her own, without holding on to anything, for any significant period of time. And today, after lunch and before her nap, she took two small and wobbly sideways steps. Like many firsts, I wasn’t sure if they counted. Just like her first words—”da da,” “dog,” “ma ma,” […]

Easter Dinner

April 20, 2009 – 2:13 pm

Great Grandma gave me a pretty red Easter basket with a bath toy in it. There were pretty daffodils on the table. I had the best meal. Nini made me the softest bunny rabbit. I climbed the stairs over and over and over … … and made funny faces in my pretty dress, which Grandma […]

An Egg Hunt

April 13, 2009 – 5:08 pm

Saturday Sophie, Nini and I walked to Tower Park in Fort Thomas so Sophie could participate in her first egg hunt—she just made the cut-off. Twelve thousand plastic eggs filled with candy and slips of paper guaranteeing a prize were placed around the park. Thankfully there was a 1 to 3 age group so Sophie […]
