OK, so it may not seem like we’ve been doing much but I feel like things have been crazy busy!
Sophie keeps getting bigger and bigger (how dare her!). I might not have even posted since her appointment so I think I’ll start there. Turns out she’s a beast. No really, she’s a giant beast. She weighed in at 17.1 lbs and 27.5” which is 95% in height and 75% in weight. So she’s tall…that’s obvious. And she’s heavy for her age but light for her height. But it just boils down to the fact that with her hands, she’ll be dunking in no time! [Enjoy the 6 month picture with bear.]
Grant and Bobbie were down here for a little bit last week – we went golfing on Thursday and I golfed my best nine ever: a 49 on the front of the Breeze. That includes a birdie on the par 4 9th. We don’t really need to talk about the back 9, the front 9 is what’s important! This followed a great night of softball 
that included a double, triple, and I got to pitch a couple of innings. It’s probably a given that the day culminated in some rousing rounds of Bid 500. While we played games Sophie spend some time in the doorway jumper figuring out how to get Zeke’s attention. She would squeal and he would run at her and she would laugh and laugh. He’d walk away, she’d squeal again, and he would run. Round and round they go! Good fun. [She’s a nonstop drool monster!]
On Sunday we went canoeing with Tom and the Kids, Mike & Erin, and the Corey Clan. We did tip once…we don’t need to get into the finger pointing match but I’ll just say that Tom was in the back :-) But we did have fun, it was a good trip and best of all, it was free!
The fun doesn’t stop there though! Brian brought the kids up to AuGres to meet Kelly (who came up Thursday night) and they’ve been hanging out by the beach for the week. I took Sophie over there on Monday and Tuesday – she definitely loves the outdoors! On Tuesday I took her in her suit so she could sit in the little pool. She splashed and splashed and splashed! She’s getting really good at sitting up on her own (she falls over a lot less). The Kohtzes came up for a visit on Tuesday night too so it was great to be able to visit with them. [Sophie still loves her bath time!]
Kelly and Brian had us over for a cookout yesterday. The weather wasn’t perfect, but it was good enough. Sophie has so much fun around the kids. When she was in her jumper she would squeal every time Kaelin walked by. And Sam, oh she adores Sam! She is just enthralled whenever he talks. Kourtney and Emilee are great with her too – you can tell that they are used to being big sisters. I can’t wait to see Kelly’s pictures, there’s bound to be some cute ones of Sophie and Kaelin sitting on the couch watching the Wiggles (and Kaelin trying to get Sophie to “smell” her feet).
Today was busy again. Tom and I went to the city to celebrate our 4th anniversary. It was a typical date-day: saw Transformers and went to dinner at Outback. We tried to go to Old City Hall but it didn’t open for dinner until 5pm. Movie was good – definitely a good one to see in the theater. It was good to get out just the two of us and do something too. We’ve been trying to keep doing things here and there – it’s nice to relax and it gives us a chance to just worry about us, not the little attention-monster.
How, you may ask, are all of the Sophie-less activities possible? Well, because she has fab-tabulous Grandmas who love to see her and let me/us do some stuff without her. Don’t get me wrong, we love the little turkey (especially lately – she’s more and more fun every day) but it is nice to be able to get stuff done or just spend some time without her. Plus, it’s nice for her to spend time with her Grandmas, I know I have great memories of being with mine!
Flanagan Fling, two bridal showers and bachelorette parties, Grant’s little shindig, car show, and probably more this weekend and next weekend is Pirate Fest. Oh my, where has the summer gone?!
