Sophie is such an amzing little girl. She is so smart it amazes me. She is strong willed and determined when she wants to do something she will do it and no one can stop her. She is so protective of her little brother she through a total fit when we had to give him shots. She tries to get him to stop crying everyday when I get ready by entertaining him with toys and playing little games with him and gets sad when it doesnt work. She is so ready to grow up she told me the other day that after she turns 4 then she will turn 5 and then she will be 16. She is an absolute animal lover particularly cats and horses. She now asks for playdates with her firends almost every day. She is bossy and sassy which she has been from the beginning so that has not changed. I remind myself that one day this will be a great trait if she can learn to use it at the right moments. She is so beautiful and goofy and caring and I am so happy that I get to watch her grow and learn.
Some funny things she has said lately

"ba-sagna" instead of lasagna

when grandpa told her he was pooped after playing with her for awhile she quickly said "go wipe your bum then"

"santa is not bringing me a big black rock he is bringing me a wowwee alive cub mini"

she tells her daddy everyday that he cant go to work beacuse he needs to stay home and watch barbie and the three musketeers with her

when she opened her birthday presents she said several funny things " oh my gosh, oh my gosh " " I wanted this my entire life" " oh man"

Porter is still just a little guy with a big head. He refuses to crawl or have anythign to do with it. He has to be the most stubborn child I have ever seen. He lays on his tummy and yells at us. He scoots backwards and in circles trying to find something to grab and pull back up on. He walks around couches and tables but has no interest in being on his tummy. I don't know why it makes him so mad but he will have none of it. He also does not like to be left alone now. It used to be I could set him down with some toys and go get ready for the day now he cries the entire time and refuses to even look at his toys. As soon as I pick him up he is smiling and laughing. What a stinker! He has two teeth on the bottom now.

Sophie turns 4!

I cannot beleive that my baby is already 4. Time flies! This year she wanted a jack Skellington party so we had to be creative beacuse no one had nightmare before christmas party supplies. She picked out a Frankenstein Pinata which all of the kids loved. We also had a face painter come the kids looked so cute with all of their faces painted she is talented and did a great job. We played some halloween games and did a scratch art craft. I made Jack Skellington cupcakes and we had a blast. She got absolutely spoiled with presents.

Halloween 09

This year Sophie was Dorothy and Porter was the cowardly lion which fits Porter perfectly he cries at eveything. Porter looked chubby for the first time in his life and I could not stop laughing at him this costume was hilarious and adorable. Sophie looked absolutely beautiful as a little Dorothy and she still has to wear the red sparkly shoes everyday.

Pumpkin Patch

Sophie had her first school field trip and was so excited. We went to the Black Island Farms pumpkin patch. They had so many fun things we will definitely have to go back next year. Sophie is still my little scaredy cat though. All of the other kids ran circles around her up to all the different homeade slides and she would have none of it. I hope she learns to loosen up soon I'm afraid she is going to miss out on childhood. I like that she is safe but she is afraid of slides, somersaults and even crossing bridges on jungle gyms.
