tomato

Matthew was thrilled to pick his first tomato from his plant this past week. unfortunately, he got a little excited and pulled off the whole branch.

two posts in one day?

wow- I'm really stepping it up here....
had to though because I found that this gal is giving away a set of these herb crates that are topping my wish list.... check it out!

shoe girl

Sophia loves to wear her shoes. I'm not sure if it's the footwear that excites her or the fact that she knows we go outside most of the time after she puts them on. Frances can be my witness- she kinda says "shoe"... I'm going to credit Frances with teaching her this one- All I've taught her is baby- or "do da" ha!

step, step, step

by request: Sophia walking.

Kiwi

Sophia tried some Kiwi yesterday- and despite the look on her face from her initial taste, she really did like them!

She also got to try some blueberries on Sunday at a friend's birthday party- she'd have eaten them all day if I'd have let her.

big girl

We reciently moved Sophia's car seat to forward facing.
I know the AAP or whoever now says that it's safer to leave them rear facing until they're 2.... but all along they'd been saying rear was the safest and they should stay that way for as long as possible... and I'm a bit of the mindset that a happy baby makes a safe driver- so we're going with that.... :)

all with in a two weeks span, Sophia learned to walk well around the house, had her first birthday, had her car seat turned around and decided she'd like to walk around the store when we shop.... she's growing up way too fast.

love it all.

check out this new online shop- everything there is so beautiful!
