Sophia – Summer 2010

Neil — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 04:50:23 +0000

I know, I know. I went all summer without posting updates or photos of our itty bitty princess Sophia. Life moves pretty fast, and I haven’t had time to stop and look around. So here’s the best I can come up with. These photos date back to her birthday in June and lead us right through the end of August. I have to note that these include shots taken by other family members (I went over a month of not using my camera). Enjoy! There will be another set coming soon of our recent visit to the Magic House in St Louis.

I’m so late with this. Life continues it’s crazy pace, and it’s a struggle to keep up. Lolo and Lola visited a couple of weeks ago, their first visit since June 2009. Sophia obviously didn’t remember them, but it didn’t take long for her to warm up to them. They were here to help celebrate Sophia’s 2nd birthday, and I don’t think Sophia would have it any other way. She’s shown them she knows her colors, looks for buses whenever she’s in the car, loves the Backyardigans, and can’t wait to go to Walt Disney World. She was sad by the time Lolo and Lola left, and each day since, she looks and asks for them. Fortunately, they’ll be visiting again along with Sophia’s cousin Jasmine later this summer.

Cards vs Mets 041810

We took Sophia to her first ballgame Sunday night. Grandma, Grandpa, Daniel and his friend Adam also came along to see the Cardinals take on the NY Mets. Sophia enjoyed just about every bit of the game: the ride over on the Metrolink (“Choo Choo!”), the music, Fredbird (“Tweet Tweet!”), the fireworks from Rasmus’ homer, and Cracker Jacks. We can’t wait to take her again. As always, click the image above for the photo set (I didn’t take many photos; I wanted to enjoy the game).

Sophia’s 2nd birthday is just around the corner. Little girl is quite talkative; mostly jibber jabber, but she seems to know what she’s talking about (I’ll try to post video of a cute conversation she had with her mother). Some key words for her are “bus”, “juice”, “milk”, “cookie” (sounds like “kiki”), “go”, and her favorite: “bubbles”. Click on the image for her latest photo set.

So far, 2010 has proven to be a very busy year. I’m involved with the biggest project of my career (new clinical system for the hospital), and it’s dictating a very hectic, chaotic, and at times, frantic pace. CL is also working a crazy schedule; not a lot of time is spent together. Unfortunately, I’ve not taken advantage of these few moments to take pictures. We did have the good fortune of taking Sophia to her first Disney show, Disney Live! Mickey’s Rockin’ Road Show at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis yesterday. It was a test to see if Sophia is ready for these kinds of shows as well as a prep for our planned trip to Walt Disney World later this year. We weren’t sure if it would be too loud, or if the occasional darkness would be scary, or if she would be intimated by all the people. Turns out, the answers are “no”, “no”, and “no”! Sophia loved every bit of it. She recognized most of the characters, and she danced and clapped with enthusiasm. Click on her picture for her latest photo set including those from the Disney show.

Holidays 2009

Instead of having the usual monthly photo set, I’m posting our holiday photos. Of course, the bulk of these photos are of Sophia. She thoroughly enjoyed her 2nd Christmas. Also included in this set are some of her Christmas portraits. Click on Sophia’s image above to view the set.

Click on the image above for the latest photos of Sophia. Sorry, but just too busy to include any real blog update. To post more entries will probably be a New Year’s resolution for me (carried over from the last several years, of course).
