Renaissance Festival

I always liked the Renaissance Festival. Always thought it was nice to be a princess (or even a peasent) for a day. Where everyone calls you "My lady" a girl could get used to that. This year, we let Sophie take over the costume and we went just as civilians. But still, it was a good time. Our little faerie princess was, of course, the prettiest lady there. One man even said and I quote "that is the most adorable baby I have ever seen in my entire life" And oh, she flirted with him. She smiled and talked and laughed. And her daddy did not like that so much :) Apparantly some Renaissance lady even blessed Sophie's birthmark on her head. ( I had stepped away) It's good to let her see these fun things, even though she may not remember them:)

Our faerie princess!!

This is Maggie, the goose. Apparantly she loved babies. Sophie was not sure what to make of her, but she got a hug anyway.


Sophie (and Mommy) enjoyed the camel rides. Seems, Sophie loves all animals!! Especially birds and ridable ones :)

Ok, this picture is not related, but I just had to include it. This was at Stowe Park, Sophie's first time in the swings by herself. she enjoyed herself. Already so independent.

Pumpkin patch number two

Well, Sophie went to her second pumpkin patch. this one had a bonfire (which she found very interesting) and we got two more pumpkins (which we really need to do something with). We went with our small group at church so there were kids everywhere :) I think everyone had a good time though. I have also included some other pictures.



Here is Sophie and her Daddy watching the bonfire. What fun!!

Here is Sophie with more pumpkins. The girl does love to sit in a pumpkin patch!!












New Developments:
Sophie is practicing her standing. No pulling up yet but if she has something to hold onto she stands without a bit of hesitation. She's is my smart girl.

Hi guys

This is my first blog of Sophie. First blog ever! Sophie just turned six months old two weeks ago and she is a mess!! She is my little honeybear! What a sweetie. The first picture is from our day at Hunter Farm-where Sophie got a pony ride, saw a petting zoo (favorite animal-chickens; actually birds of any kind). Miss Sophie is doing all kind of fun things now. She loves going on adventures, she is sitting and REALLY wants to walk away. She loves to "talk" and pet the animals, she loves to ear (our curse). She is also saying Ma-Ma, although not directed at me quite yet. I'm waiting on that wonderful day!! so far, this mom thing is awesome-I always have been domestic. Oh yeah, Matt's enjoying himself too. More to come!




Here is Sophie next to the chickens at The Hunter Farm. They were, by far, the thing she most enjoyed!!!
