Monkey Business!

So, here's the story behind all this...Wes & I went to Las Vegas a few years ago and missed our first flight cuz we overslept. Well, the following Christmas we received several alarm clocks from my family. One makes monkey sounds and Soph has fallen in love with it! We were able to get this vid today (please ignore the vacuum cleaner in the background)! She has figured out how to push the button and then will copy you to make monkey noises. I feel Wes and I both look like idiots in this video, me for making the noises and him for not knowing how to turn it on!!!!!

Picnic at the Discovery Center!

The weather was so nice yesterday so we decided to take a picnic lunch to the Discovery Center. We didn't go in the musuem...just walked around the boardwalk. Soph had a good time and we saw ducks, turtles, a great blue heron, and some fish!

11 Months Old TODAY!

I can't believe Sophie is 11 months old today! She is getting so big and is becoming such a copy cat to us! She still only has 2 teeth though. They came in soo fast and then nothing...oh well, I know they will come in due time!!

Soph on the stairs!

Sophia has been climbling the stairs for some time now and she's soo fast! She will be up them in the blink of an eye! I tried to get some good pics but only ended up with a few because she was too focused on getting to the top than to pose for the camera!

Cooking out with Cadence!

We had our friends Josh & Miranda and their little girl, Cadence over last night for supper. Soph & Cadence had a good time playing together! They are only 6 months apart in age so we will have our hands full as they grow up together =)

More of Soph in the pool!

More pool pics

Sophie & Abby

We even put her down for a nap one day in the cabana...she slept forever!
We had to wake her up because we were ready to leave!
All that swimming wore her out!

Yes, I know...its a little redneck with her in just a diaper!

Sophie & Meme

Well, as I said, we took tons of pics of Soph at the pool. Here are some more...I tried to group them by her different bathing suits! Good thing she enjoyed the water seeing as how we had her in it pretty much the entire time we were there =)

Sophie & the fountain

Sophie at Alys Beach

Here are some of the pics we took at the Alys Beach pool. We took soo many...you know you are a dork when you are trying to find places to set your child to get a good picture!

Alys Beach Pool

Inside this building was a sitting area with couches

This is the kiddie pool. It has fountains & is covered which
is perfect for kids! It's also only 6 in. deep!

There are 6 private cabanas with tvs in them!



These are some pics from Alys Beach where Wesley's aunt and uncle were staying. Its pronounced Alice which is pretty cool because that is Sophia's middle name! The pool area is ridiculous! It has private cabanas, a bar, a restaurant, and 3 pools! It felt like we were at a resort. We came over here every day we were in Florida. Sophie loved the kiddie pool!

Beach fun!

We took Sophie down to the beach one day to get some cute pics of her in this white dress. We weren't there too long...she began to eat the sand and then rub her face! We were able to get some good ones though =)

Soph in the ocean!

On our trip to Rosemary Beach, Wes took Soph in the ocean one day. We weren't sure how she would do, but she LOVED it! She even got smacked in the face with a wave at one point and she kept on smiling! Any time we would walk on the boardwalk to the beach, she would start waving to the water!

Our trip to Rosemary Beach!

Soph on the boardwalk to the beach


Well, we just got back from Florida today! We stayed at Wesley's aunt & uncle's place in Rosemary Beach. It was great and Sophie LOVES the water. I have tons of pics so bear with me...I'll probably update the blog over the course of several days.
