This is at the aquarium. A reflection of Sophia and Grandpa looking into the turtle tank. It is a real turtle...I know...it doesn't look like it. Very artistic!!
This of course is NOT a real dolphin!
This is our friend Madelyn. She is 3 months younger than Sophia. They will be good playmates over the next few years!
Sophia and Grandpa!
She loves these foam ducks! Good for the gums....no teeth yet!

This was last month. She can sit very well now, without leaning on her hands. She can lean forward and pick something up and came back to sitting. She will tip back if she looks up too far though. She is amazing to watch as she learns.

a little scary, but lots of fun!
more from the halloween party
what a beautiful baby!
smiling happy baby!

Sophia getting her first taste of carrots! She wasn't too sure about them ar first but she is beginning to like them more now

The kids came over for trick-or-treating. We had another costume for Sophia to wear.
Here we are at Grandma's surprise Halloween party!
Sophia with uncle Scott
here we are with grandma. I don't think she was at all happy that we were there! Sophia is wearing her "Aunt Jemima" hat, as Grandpa George says
Here's Lance and Sophia after the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington DC. What a beautiful day they had for the race.

we were hoping the yankees would pull through, but unfortunately they just didn't have it this year. Maybe next year!
its hard to tell from this picture, but we got Sophia's ears pierced!
I just couldn't resist the turtle costume for halloween! isn't she adorable!
Sophia is learning to sit on her own. She was 5 months here.
I love the lighting in this picture, and Sophia's expression. I don't know what happened to her sock!
