Sophie and her new little scowl

Little dimpled hands

I hate being sick!!

Happy little Sophie nice and hyper right before bed
she's so funny!
she has been doing this little scowl lately. she thinks it is so funny. YIKES!

So I seemed to have come down with the flu. I was really sick last night and had a HORRIBLE night of cold chills, nausea, ect ect.. and NO i am not pregnant again. Anyway my sweet husband came home from school today with flowers (my absoloutle fave- daisies), gingerale and slippers. He knows how much i love granny slippers. They are so comfy. I am feeling alot better tonight so it must have helped.Anyway he makes me smile!

Also Sophie is 9 months today! YAY! She has really started to change lately. She is so funny! She is constantly making us laugh. She makes these funny little faces and just waits for a reaction. She has continued to sleep wonderfully so I am a much happier mom.

We go to get shots tommorow and I am absoloutly dreading it! I hate taking a happy baby in there and just sitting there while they inflict pain on her. She looks at me like why are you letting her do this to me-- I feel like the worst mother ever. I know I know--- I am a better mother by doing it but it doesn't make it any easier!

MOVED IN!!

Hey everyone! We are finally moved in to our new place! We painted for a few days and then it took us a couple of days to get all settled in but we are finally here. I will post pics ASAP. Sophie has adjusted very well since we moved here. She has started sleeping 12 hours straight which has been nice.. 9:30 - 9:30. I know that for alot of people that isn't a big deal but Sophie has not been the greatest sleeper so this is a huge feat. She has been really consistent for about 6 weeks so I am so relieved. Sophie has also started to crawl FINALLY. She has been pushing herself up to her hands and knees and rocking back and forth for about 2 months and finally she has mastered it. I will also post pics of that soon. Things are really going wonderfully for us here in Lethbridge. We miss Rexburg alot but we are sure that this was the right desicion for us. It is so fun to be here and have family so close. I absoloutly love it!

PIGTAILS

so i realize they are barely there but i can finally put sophies hair in pigtails! YAY!! i think they are a little funny but spence loves them so much. he tells me to put them in her hair everyday so i pretty much have. anyway other than that exciting news not really much is new. we move into our place in lethbridge on saturday and we are so excited! oh one other thing.. so sophie has been consistently sleeping the night for the few weeks- (9-7 then a feeding and back down till 9:30! HEAVEN!!) anyway on saturday she woke up 3 times in the night and i was thinking what the heck!! i kinda let her cry a little and then she would go back to sleep. i didn't think it was teeth because she already had 4 and i heard that #5 and 6 come way later. anyway the next morning when she woke up she had 2 new teeth!! aaah! i felt like the worst mother, letting her cry through that pain. anyway she has been doing way better even though she has an extremely runny nose. also sophie has been saying mama and dada. i think she knows what they mean too because when i go to get her out of bed she says mama and the same thing when spence goes in there she says dada. when she was 7 months my grandma pack walked in and said "hi baby" and no word of a lie she said "hi baby" right back. we all looked at eachother and burst out laughing. i wondered if it was a coincidence but we kept saying it throughout the night and she said it a few times more. it was hilarious and yes a little creepy. sophie also has started scooting around on her bum to get places. she is really close to crawling but who knows? she seems pretty content getting around on her bum. well WOW this post has become a whole lot longer than i expected!

I am such a blogging slacker!!!!!! So I actually do have an excuse. No internet in the country... well only dial up which is so frustrating. So anyway the blogging thing really hasn't happened in the last month. But I'm back and better than ever!!! Anyway Spence has been back home for the last week or so and it has been so great! I don't have alot of time to update but things are going really good. We will be moving into Lethbridge a week from Saturday and we are so excited. Here are a few pictures from the last month. Sophie is growing and she is just becoming such a fun little girl. We just love her so much! She is such a little sweetheart!
