Sophie is growing out of some of her clothes. We are finally getting into the 3-6 month size. I wanted to be sure I had pictures in the cute ones so here are some pictures of the little kitty dress that says "Little Miracle" on the collar.

New Red Table
Here is Sophie with Bill Miller. He was the wonderful gentleman who made the table we got at the Fall Fest. We wore red specifically so we could get her picture with the table, looks like Mr. Miller had the same idea.

Fall Fest 2009
This was Sophie's first Fall Fest at our church. She got to ride the Little Blue Choo Choo, twice. She loved it!
We watched Daddy play some games and then had lunch while the praise band played. She ended up falling asleep during all the singing!

There had been a preview of Silent Auction items in the weeks before the event. there was a child's art table and chair set that I made sure Paul knew Sophie wanted it. We did bid on it, but didn't get to stay through the end so we figured we'd be outbid, but...no! We are now the proud owners of a Bill Miller original. It looks so great in my apple accented kitchen. Pictures of the table to follow later.
We had a great time and want to say a special "Thank You" to Ms. Sharon for making it all happen!
Going to Work With Mommy
Although my mom was still here, I took her and Sophie with me to work so I could get used to it. I have a wonderful job that allows me to take my child to work, but I wasn't sure how it would be having her in the office with me. Mom was available this first day to do bottle feedings and help get her to nap, but after this, I'll be on my own.
Here we are getting ready for the first day of preschool.
All dressed!
Hanging out in Mommy's office.
I have her pack n' play in the corner. It is great because it has an attached diaper changer and storage for diaper and other stuff. I cleared out a drawer in the desk to hold bottles, formula, water, diapers, extra clothes, and a few other items. The church has a bouncer and swing that I've put in the office, and there is also an exersaucer I can use if I need it. I found a front pack carrier that I will use some, especially while I'm just sitting at the computer, or when I need to walk the halls and check on classes.
All the staff has name badges that have their title (i.e director, teacher). I made Sophie one too that hangs on her pack n' play. Her title is Quality Control. I figure she'll be the one to test any new toys or make sure any new teachers are good enough for our preschool. The other teachers kids are just fascinated that there is a baby in my office. Several would ask where she was while my mom had her at home. I have even used Sophie as the "treat" to get one little girl to take a nap. If she stayed on her mat and was quiet, after nap she could come help me with the baby. Worked like a charm, she was so quiet and still she fell asleep and didn't wake up until time to go!

Adding Carrots
Our next food to add was carrots. Definitely a lot more messy than cereal or applesauce! But
she does seem to enjoy her veggies.

A Quiet Baby Isn't Always a Good Thing
I put Sophie in her swing so I could wash up some bottles and switch the laundry. She wasn't completely thrilled to be there, talking and "screaming" at me. (She as been likened to a velociraptor with her talking.) After a few minutes, she got real quiet. I wnet to check on her and this is what I found. She had somehow gotten the toy bar off and was chewing and the plastic end.
Applesauce
We added homemade applesauce as our second food choice. My mom had made it special for Sophie. She seemed to like (although still not sure if her tummy really tolerated it). The video is of her expression whenever we gave her some. You'd think she didn't like it but she kept coming back for more.
