Happy Birthday Bug!

We celebrated Sophie's 1st birthday this weekend. So hard to believe, but it's here! We had a great time celebrating in NC with family. We had a yummy spaghetti dinner and of course cake and ice cream! She was cautious with her cake at first, but she got into it pretty quickly!

 

 

 

 

A few changes

So, after 5 1/2 years of buying diapers, we made the switch to cloth. And now I wish we had done it much sooner! I just choose to look at it from the angle of Sophie still has a while in diapers, so the savings will still apply!



Another positive to these is that they help her fill out her shorts and pants a little better so they fall off less- such a tiny bug!


And another change is that it's time for Sophie to give up her bottle and move on to the cup. It's strange thinking that she is the last one and we won't be using bottles again.



So, those are the major changes for this week- I'm sure she'll be up and moving soon also, so we will start chasing her around in no time!

New favorite evening activity

Bike riding! Sophie loves her seat on mommy's bike. She's not always crazy about her helmet, but as soon as she starts riding, she's as happy as can be! Her little head is so small that her helmet makes her look like a bobble head :)

 

It was a little bright when we took the pictures

 

Visiting The Living Museum

We went to the Living Museum this weekend to see the Dinosaur exhibit. We had a great time- we saw all sorts of different animals that are native to Virginia along with the dinosaur visitors (which Tyler explained to us that they were robots- can't fool him).
