FIRST STEPS!!

This is a little late, but last Tuesday Sophia took two steps on her own, and then I was able to capture her taking six, yes SIX, more steps on her own on last Wednesday. I took the video while trying to get her to walk to me, so you might have to turn your head to see the footage! She is such a little princess now... one that is MOBILE ON TWO FEET!!

Pumpkin Carving

Well its been awhile I know... too long. This past weekend I got sick with a sinus infection and spent the weekend in bed thanks to a wonderful husband and mother in law who took Sophia on Saturday night. Sunday we went to their house for our annual pumpkin carving! Again I made it through the day since Zach and Grandma Charlie were on baby duty. Monday was a long day, went to work and back to bed... thanks again to my hubby and my parents for watching S! Tuesday I started to feel better, but Sophia was not feeling herself, so we took her to the doctor, but everything checked out, I do think that she is getting her first year molars however! Today was my first day feeling back to my self, but it was spent running around cleaning and doing laundry to get ready for the lake tomorrow... so super excited about the Halloween party this weekend!
I am not writing a whole lot more... the pictures will tell you a great story of Sophia's first annual pumpkin carving!! ENJOY!!

Hook'em Horns

Yesterday was the big game. Texas vs. OU. It was a great game. TEXAS WON!! WOOHOO!!

Uncle Jason and S

She was so nice to spend some time with him... she is getting a little better about going to men now... especially if she sees them all the time!

On another note... TECH WON TOO!!!

The State Fair of Texas

Saturday we met friends at the State Fair of Texas! We had Fletcher's corn dogs, funnel cake, and chicken fried bacon... which was soooo NOT good! We had a lot of fun! S enjoyed her first corn dog and funnel cake and she loved it!

Roxie and Presley!

First taste of corn dog! Success!

More please!

Eating it all on her own!

Zach and Jason with the Heisman Trophy

Out cold on the way to the car! She didn't even wake up when I took her out of the stroller and put her in the car! She was such a good girl!

Waiting for the Plumber

Yesterday I stayed home with S since Cathey's kids had the day off and they went to the State Fair of Texas (we plan on going on Saturday). We got to meet my mom and Karen for lunch and just relaxed and a had a great day... then the tub decided to start leaking so I called a plumber and they were supposed to be here today at 7 am... got here at 8:10, looked at the tub, told me we need a new shower head and faucet to fix the problem and he would be back hopefully around 2 to fix it all... so I got to stay home again with S! YAY, but sad about the tub!

Where are they?

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! Still not here yet!

Dallas Arboretum

Saturday we met Zach's parents for lunch and headed to the Dallas Arboretum to the pumpkin patch. Sophia had a blast. She loved getting down and exploring! We took a ton of pictures! So this is quite a long post due to all the pictures! Enjoy!

She was playing with this pumpkin making some bizarre faces, when we discovered there was a hole in the side and she did not like the texture!

Getting sleepy, she didn't want to hold the bottle!
