Little Stinker

So - I have to say that ususally we lay blame on Roger Brakke when Roonie starts to be beg for "people food". He has a history of feeding her - a lot. However, last night, I was watching our perfect daughter have some Cheerios as a bed time snack - and BAM...Roonie has a new best friend.

(oh yeah - she stops and starts dancing - it's when the new Mac Notebook commercial comes on...she LOVES the music - dances to it everytime.)

Happy Easter

The Easter bunny came early to Sophie's house, so on Easter Sunday - Lucy let Sophie play with her basket. Sophie had to check it out after Lucy found the eggs that the bunny hid around Pappa G's house. She liked the foil-covered chocolate - really no need to unwrap!

Stella had a blast too!

Sophie's Big Day

We had such a big day the Saturday before Easter! It all started out with the Easter Egg Hunt at the Alerus Center. Sophie wasn't quite big enough to run out and grab her eggs. But - we still had fun!

Sophie played with her friend Catelynn Goodman when the big kids got to go on the slides and jumping things. They played "look I can almost walk" and "the egg was in your mouth, now, it's in mine".

After that - Sophie got to play at the Waterpark with the Goodmans & Halversons. Daddy even took her down the big kids slide. She thought it was okay - just not the beginning where her face gets wet. Daddy does a good job keeping her safe. Mommy on the other-hand....let's just say once down the little kids slide with mom was enough.

Finally, it was time to dye Easter Eggs for the Easter Bunny. Lucy did most of the heavy-lifting, but Sophie gave her opinions as much as she could.

Here's Lucy with the pretty eggs!

Better go to bed, so the Easter Bunny can hide them!!!

Fun with Lucy

This weekend we went to see Lucy, Stelly, Eric, Yvette and Pappa G in Grand Forks. On Friday after church (that Sophie sat through about 80% of!) we went to dinner (Pappa G wasn't there - he was away).

Boy oh boy - these girls are going to be trouble. Lucy had so much fun with Sophie now that they can actually play togheter, and Sophie is SO excited to have Lucy to entertain her. Good think the Blue Moose wasn't that busy - the girls may have annoyed some people. Sophie laughed so much at her cousin - that she nearly fell over at the very end.

WALKING!!!

Big weekend - Sophie took some significant, real steps. She's not 100% yet -but pretty close.

Going, Going......

GONE

Lazy Weekend

We had a lazy weekend! It was really fun to just hang out at home, and actually play with some of Sophie's toys. She has re-discovered this little guy. She gets on and off of it all by herself. Can't quite understand how to get it moving herself -needless to say, mom's back is pretty stiff.















Sophie also helped out with Roonie this weekend - at least, watching to make sure she does her "duty". It was so nice to have the door open to let the breeze through and not freeze.

Right after her little dance - - - she took a few steps (and I didn't get it on film - suprise)!!! She's still pretty chicken to go any sort of distance -but she's so close!

And yes - we just wore our Jammer Jam Jams all day.


She just loves her bath! I appologize for the terrible video work - for some reason I think that it will show more if you turn the camera - not thinking that everything turns. Make sure you look when Aaron says "Pinch Your Face" - she's such a ham....wonder where she gets that?

(Blurry Photos - I was playing with some settings, when this event took place)

Sophie is so adventrous - she get's into everything - and sometimes she just doesn't know how to get out....

Daddy to the rescue!!
