Sofie's 1st birthday



I can't believe how fast the year has gone bye. Sofie had her 1st birthday last week. Friends and family gave her some real great stuff that has spiced up her play life. We had a picnic at the park with some friends to celebrate. We had a pinata and she did get some birthday cake (of coarse it was carrot cake:))

She had her 1 year appointment today. She was a hair under 18 lbs. That put her in the 10th percentile for her weight which was up from the 5th % she was in last visit. The doctor was impressed with her saying words already and with how good she is walking she said "I don't know if you know this but your baby is really advanced" (I'm sure I had nothing to do with this but it made me feel good:)- of coarse Spencer was really glad to hear it too.) Right now she can say ball, baby, hi, no, boo and blanket.

Spencer is up to 6 ortho interviews now they are Oklahoma, OSU, Virginia, Colorado, Philidelphia, and St. Louis. How exciting! He also gets his braces off tommorrow which I am really excited about since I keep finding his elastics all over the house.

As for me no change really: Working, wifeing, mothering and maiding:)
I feel really blessed in life right now.

Hi Steph...little Sofie is so cute. We got her birthday announcement in the mail the other day..thanks for thinking of us! She looked so beautiful all dressed up and looks SO MUCH LIKE YOU! After seeing the pictures Elodie is convinced that we are having a girl and if you ask her she tells she is going to name her new baby Sofie.
I hear ya on the weight thing..Elodie is still way under the weight chart for her age. We haven't taken her yet for her 3 year but I'm sure she will yet again be low. She is still in 18-24 month clothes! Definitely nice for our budget because she never grows out of anything!
Good luck with school..I didn't see Arizona on Spencer's list..bummer. That would be fun! Love ya,
Alacey

Looks like a fun party!!! I can't believe that her and Allie are 1. You are a great mom juggling work, wifing, mommying, housekeeper. Good job! Push for the move to school out West.
