Sitting is fun!





Well, I don't think that I've tried sitting her up lately (she's usually is on my hip, being carted around by Matthew or Katie, in the exersaucer, on her belly, or asleep). Who knew she could sit up!?!?!?! I know, I'm already neglectful - oops!! Katie was playing with her and decided to sit up and she just stayed there and played! She seemed very proud of herself - and is quite the poser too!

She also seems to have turned into quite the Mommy's girl. She has a cry/scream on her that could scare anyone, but if I pick her up, it melts away. Many of you may be saying awwwww, but with 3 others that also want my attention, it would be helpful if she was a Daddy's girl too! The transition continues to go well - Katie is so enamored, and I am thrilled with that b/c Katie can be very difficult when it comes to dealing with things/people she doesn't like. She has never liked kisses (even from me and Daddy), but ever since Sophie came home, she won't get on the bus or go to bed (or let Sophie go to bed) without kisses for everyone. It is truly a very welcome change!! We certainly feel blessed.

By the way - Happy Birthday Jocelyn! I'm going out on a limb and guessing that I'm older - the big 3-6. It was a very happy one with lots of songs from the kids, a wonderful massage and a very nice dinner with my husband. Can't get much better than this :)

I meant to leave you a birthday wish yesterday...my time got away from me. You know how that is right? It sounds like you had a great time though. I thought of you today...because according to you and Jocelyn I was suppose to get a referral today :) Well...no referral, but I am still sending happy birthday wishes to you both. I can't get over that girl of yours. I love the gummy smile! She is so beautiful and just looks like she has grown so much. What a a wonderful influence she has had on her older sister too...that made me smile. Amy

She is beautiful. I love her posing and sitting up with the smile:)

I did the same thing with my second daughter...didn't really realize she could sit up....we just held her so much.

Happy Belated Birthday!! I've got 12 years on you! I am so happy to hear how well everything is going. She is absolutely adorable. I'm glad the other children are adjusting well too. Isn't God so good??

Happy Birthday. It is so fun to read about Sophie's milestones especially since she and Tsebay are so close in age. Keep the pics coming, Sophie is so cute and I'm sure smart and funny too.
