Cute

Okay - this is not my kid but, it's really funny to me and cute. i have two videos to put up but, i'm telling you - it's hard to focus on stuff when everything is spinning and i feel like puking so, bare with me please. :)

Daddy & Sophie

Hi all. I'm super sick so, I'm really behind in blogs. I haven't left the house in a few days... ick. We have watched a lot of TV this week. Fifi is feeling better so, hopefully I'm next. If you haven't heard, I'm also building another human being again ;-) so, morning sickness is creeping in as this cold/flu is creeping out. Should be great in Mexico. I can't wait to get outside and run again. I'm convinced that my running is somehow going to take the edge off of the morning sickness. Anyway... enough about ME here's a video of my cute kid and her cute daddy.

what's so funny?

Turtle & Melon

Sophie has a little cold today so, she's quiet and cuddly. She's watching WETA kids all day and snuggling up with toys and mommy. We made a short video of her saying new words since we have been so bad about putting up videos lately. There will be more again soon :)

She learned how to jump yesterday so, we'll get that on video soon. One other funny story is that last week she was talking in her sleep! All was quiet and peaceful in her room when suddenly she said, "Book!" in her sleep... and that was it. no other sounds or movement! hahaha.

Brrrr

hi, bye, whyyyyy?

Baby Loves Disco

Wow! What a busy weekend.
Friday: Aunt Sandie & Uncle Reed came down for Mom's birthday and spent the day with us. We went out to lunch and watched a movie at Mom's house then we went out to dinner at 8pm (which is waaaay past Sophie's bedtime). she had a little trouble with the late night but, considering we were out until 10 or so, she did really really well. I was tired from training (and a little PMS) so, I think I did really well too considering ;-). She woke up at about 1:30am and went back to sleep fairly easily. I, however, did not. Daddy was awake with me for a long time but, even he fell asleep finally. I think I got to sleep at 5:30am. :-/ meh.
Saturday: She took an early nap and when she napped, we napped. Then when she got up we went to Baby Loves Disco (see video) with Jodi, Elliot, Noah, & Amanda.

From there, we went straight to Annapolis to meet Gigi for "coffee" which turned out to be a surprise shopping trip for me to Annapolis Pottery with a cool gift certificate. :) Sophie went home with Gigi to spend the night and we went out for my birthday celebration. We ate at the Chart House and went to Travis & Kristen's house to watch a movie. I was falling asleep so we went home and went to bed around 11:00. hehe - party on.
Sunday: Daddy and I slept until 10am because we could!! Then I got up and ran a few miles and we hung out together when I got back. We went to Annapolis and I got to go shopping for some new running stuff for my birthday and a new book from Border's. We walked around downtown Annapolis for a little while. Then we went to The Goldblatt's for my birthday celebration. We had dinner and yummy peanut butter, chocolate, ice cream cake for dessert. I got more running stuff for my birthday and we came home... fifi went right to sleep. whew! and I spent the rest of the night working on this video so, I hope it's okay. Some parts aren't very clear but, at least there's some music to listen to in between:

Daddy's Crazy

This video speaks for itself.

I May Be Little But, I've Got Big Plans

Today we went to the mall to see Kidsinger Jim play his guitar and sing. There were lots of other kiddies there. Sophie did not make any new friends but, she sure wasn't shy. She didn't dance for the video but, she did get her groove on for a few beats. ;-) After the 'concert' we picked Daddy up at school and took him out to lunch at the Roadhouse. Fifi had her first hot dog and her first ketchup. She liked the hot dog and she lovvvvvved the ketchup. She even put it on her pickle! I think she gets this from her Aunt Laura. ;-)
Here's a little idea of what it was like at the mall. The sound came out horrible so, I put one of Kidsinger Jim's songs over the audio:

Coffee & Walk

This morning we met Lisa and Anna at Caribou Coffee. It was very crowded so, Lisa and I had to sit at the kid's table. Then we went for a little walk around the shopping center and a little pond. We went into Marshalls and played with the toys and read some books and looked at a few grown up things. I forgot to take video again... Lisa had to go pick her other daughter up at preschool so, we took Holly for a walk someplace we'd never walked before on the other side of the street from our neighborhood. It was fun! We saw two trains go by. We picked up lots of pine cones and sweet gum balls. We put them in our pockets. Sophie said 'puhcuh' for pine cone and 'tuck' for stick. We saw some geese and quacked at them. We smelled the flowers and trees. We got a little wet and muddy. It was a very nice day outside. Here's some video of our walk.

Playgroup

We went to Friday morning playgroup with the Mom's Club this morning. We had so much fun that we forgot to take a picture or video. I brought my camera and everything. There were five other kids there. Two little girls about Sophie's age. Two really little kids (3 mos and 10mos) and one 3 yr old girl. All the mom's were really nice and all the kids were too! Everyone shared their toys and snacks. We had a few owies that made people cry and lots of hugs to make them better. Here is us "reading" a book together yesterday instead of play video. I will try to remember to take video next week of playgroup.
