It was an action packed Easter weekend with a get-together in Fredericksburg on Saturday with family and then a full day of festivities on Sunday. We enjoyed celebrating with Sophia this year and can hardly believe it was a year ago when we shared the news with Mom and Dad that we were expecting - time flies!

"I'm supposed to eat with this?"

"Can I eat my bunny instead?"

The Rice Cereal Experiment

We celebrated Sophia's 5 month birthday with a rice cereal breakfast. It was not a huge hit with Sophia but it was very entertaining for Raph and I. It was a messy experiment and we hope Sophia likes it more the next time we try this yummy meal!

"What is this stuff?"

Yummy?

The aftermath

Cribs : Sophia gives us the grand tour!

"This is where the magic happens."

She looks like she's up to something...

"This is Bun-Bun, my favorite sleep companion."

"Yep, I can sit in my crib all by myself!"

Her mobile provides minutes of entertainment!

These are a few of Sophia's favorite things Vol. II

This is the latest edition of Sophia's favorite things. I did fail to include one of Sophia's new favorite toys, the box of baby wipes on her changing table. It makes for a great bongo drum and always makes her very happy!

Grammy and Pop...

Surf board tummy time mat...
(Okay, so this may not be her favorite yet but we are hoping it will help make tummy time a little more fun. Thanks to Grammy Gram for the mat!)

toes....

jumpster...

anything she can get into her mouth...

Aunt Robin and Granny Herndon visit Sophia

We had a great visit with Granny and Aunt Robin, while she was in town, on Wednesday. It was fun to catch up and to enjoy an afternoon together.
