Danielle & Mike’s Wedding

On September 9th Dave’s cousin Danielle and her husband Mike got married (again!). They were married by a Justice of the Peace a few years ago, but wanted to have a big wedding too.

Danielle with Kathy – what a proud aunt!

I love this picture. Sophie & Danielle sharing a special moment.

Sophie and Shannon, Danielle & Mike’s daughter, had a blast! They ran around and danced all night. I dont’ think Sophie has gone to sleep so quickly once she was in her car seat. Here it looks like the hug might be a bit too tight…

Shannon helped show her the ropes all night

Starting at Greene Towne School

Last week Sophie started preschool at Greene Towne School. The school is about 10 blocks from our house, and one of her classmates lives down the block from us, so we’ve been walking in together. So far Sophie seems to really like it. A day of play, who wouldn’t? (although since it’s Montessori, they call it “work”.)

Here are a few shots from her first day.

18 Month Check-up

It’s hard to believe Sophie is a year-and-a-half old! We took her to her 18th month check up recently and she weighs 28 lbs and is 32.5 inches tall. That puts her in the 75th percentile for height and the 95th for weight (and over 100 for head circumference – must be that big brain!).

Bye Bye Candice

Candice

Well, in just a few weeks Sophie will be starting preschool at Greene Towne School and that means that Candice won’t be taking care of her anymore. We’re sad to see her go, but so thankful for what a big part of Sophie’s life she’s been. We’ll miss you Candice!

Sophie the Swimmer

Sophie recently started swim lessons. She goes to the local YMCA on Saturday mornings. At the first lesson she was a little nervous and hung on to Dave, but since then she’s been a little fish. She really loves being in the water and kicks and splashes around.

Getting our instructions from the teacher.

Sophie’s First Regatta

This past weekend we did a regatta from Avalon to Cape May. Kathy and the Daves did the actual sailing, while Sophie and I did more of the lounging and taking in the sights. All in all, everyone had a great time.

Future crew for sure

Spoon Please

Sophie is starting to get the hang of feeding herself with a spoon. The food doesn’t always make it successfully into her mouth – but she’s getting there. Which frees up our hands to do other things. Ah… independence (sort of).

She’s really into spinach right now. Not sure how long it’ll last, but we’re enjoying it while we can.

Very proud of herself.

4th of July

Sophie and I spend Fourth of July weekend in Ocean City again this year. The Coughlins and Rainers got an amazing house, and we also celebrated Doug’s 50th birthday!

My cousin Holly and her son, Cameron, came to visit a few days before the 4th. Here Carly was entertaining them with Wheels on the Bus. A Sophie favorite.

Sophie digging in the sand. She loved it. And it got everywhere.

Animal Noises

Sophie is starting to talk a ton – although we can’t understand most of it. She does love her animal sounds though. She has cow and cat down pat. Dog is a little harder.

Visit to Va

This weekend Sophie and I took a quick trip down to Va. We flew in on Friday and out on Sunday and in between got to visit with family and friends. Mom and dad set up a little pool in the backyard, and Sophie had a blast splashing around in it (in the nude because I forgot her bathing suit, oops).

What you can’t see in this pictures is that Sophie is watching Kaylee and Parker play in the pool. She just couldn’t quite hang with the big kids, but really, really wanted to. Next year.

Sophie & Lexi. Shortly after this picture they officially became “spit sisters” by passing a pacifier back and forth. It was very civil actually – if not a little gross.
