Pool Day!

Yesterday the family all went to my parents house for a pool day.  The weather has been really hot so the pool is finally warm enough for swimming.  I have been so excited to see what Sophia would think of the water and she LOVED it! At first, she had a confused look on her face and then she was all smiles.  We had such a great time, we will definitely be going back soon.

Little water baby!!!

Kelly's Bridal Shower

Melanie and I were so excited to host a bridal shower for our sister Kelly this past month.  We decided to have a kitchen shower because Kel loves to bake and everything turned out great!  Here are some of the pics:

After the shower we celebrated Mother's Day since we were all together.  Billy grilled burgers and we had a great time hanging out with the family.

Loving Avery's swing!

Happy Nine Months!

Sophia turned nine months last week and her stats at her check up were: 21 pounds and 28.5 inches long.  She is still my big girl but she has slowed down her weight gain (thank goodness!).  This month I started working at the MDO at First Baptist church on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Sophia goes to her classroom while I teach 4 year olds.  It has been a bit of an adjustment but I think it is really good for Sophia to get to socialize with kids her age.  I enjoy staying busy and a little extra money is definitely coming in handy!  We have also been staying busy this month with Kelly's bridal showers and graduation from nursing school.  Sophia has been great going to all the activities with me and I am always very proud of her:) This is what else she has been up to this month:
Eating: We are starting to introduce more solids that we are eating and she really likes it. We are not giving her any baby food and she still drinks the same amount of formula-about 32 ounces per day.  Her favorite foods are-cheese puffs, string cheese, bananas, and greek yogurt.
Sleeping: Her nap is starting later now, usually around 2pm.  She sleeps from 8:30-7:30 at night.
Playing:  Sophia is extremely active these days.  She walks around holding on to whatever she can and has started to stand on her own.  It won't be long before we have a walker!  She has figured out how to open cabinets and loves exploring new things.  She is so much fun to play with and is always giggling.

Can't catch me!

I cannot believe that Sophia is already nine months.  I am already planning her first Birthday and can't believe time goes by so quickly.  I love every day with my little girl and it just gets more and more fun to be a Mom!
