Super Soph!

Saturday's weather was beautiful, so we hauled all of Sophie's nearest and dearest possessions (toys, bumbo chair, the Pack N Play, balls, stuffed animals) out in the backyard. I gardened, Doug made a yummy bbq lunch, and we all enjoyed spring. Sophie loved all of the activity--birds, planes, lawn mowers, lady bugs, grass!

She is sitting in her Bumbo chair in this photograph, but she's only a week or two away from sitting up unassisted. She's a strong, chubby girl. We've been doing some exercises to work on her core strength...haha.

After a day in the sun (covered with sunscreen, a hat, and an umbrella....), Sophie finally had a "real" meal. Preparations for this big event started weeks ago; she had been sitting in her high chair while we ate dinner, I've been letting her play with her spoons and bowls, and she got to hold the box of rice cereal during our entire trip to the grocery store.

Here is the before shot (take note of her Olympic themed bib):

She loved her rice cereal! It didn't get too messy, and we all had so much fun. She would fly her arms all around and slap them on the high chair in excitement as Doug's spoon sought clearance to land on the runway. Sophie is SUPER!
