More photos of Sophie (somehow our date stamps are wrong yet again).....

July 2007, with her cousins - so cute:


August 2007, Sophie's first hiking trip and first time fishing:



September 2007, picking apples (and racing dad - notice who's in the lead):




October 2007, Halloween:


December 2007, baking gingerbread men with mom. We finally turned that stupid date stamp off:


And yes, that's Betty Crocker mix in the foreground. If you get anything out of my kitchen, it most likely had its start in a bag or a box.


February 2008, before the monster truck rally. Yes, my baby loves monster trucks - like mother, like daughter:



March 2008, visiting the world's largest underpants. This was the highlight of Sophie's third birthday:


July 2008, Sophie's first time behind the wheel. This is when we found out that she just likes to hit the gas although she has a total inability to steer. Once again, like mother, like daughter:

Sophie's second year brought more new adventures. (Again, ignore the date stamps. Apparently we didn't bother to set our camera until August 2006.)

Here is Sophie in July 2006, watching fireworks for the very first time. I loved her reaction - a gasp, followed by clapping, for every firework:



August 2006, Sophie's first wig (I know it's terrible, but I bought her a wig at Build-A-Bear because I was dying to know what my little bald girl would look like when she finally got some hair):


August 2006, the Festival of Butterflies:


October 2006, Halloween:


November 2006, Thanksgiving:


December 2006, Christmas:


March 2007, Sophie's second birthday:

Since Sophie is already 4 1/2, it only seems right that we begin our blog by sharing some of our favorite photos of her from the past few years (ignore the date stamps; we never had that camera set right).

Sophia Theresa arrived at 10:22 pm on March 22, 2005. She was 7 lbs, 0 oz, and 19 1/2 in long. This is shortly before she arrived:


And this is shortly after:


After we made it home:


A few random shots we love:



I got the feeling she didn't like socks on her head:


October 2005, Sophie's first Halloween:


December 2005, Sophie's first Christmas:


February 2006, Sophie's first Valentine's Day:


And March 2006, Sophie's first birthday:
