Random moments from the week

It's been another exciting week for Sophie!

On Sunday we got invited to Dee Ree and Pop Pop's house for a yummy Sunday dinner (thanks Dee Ree and Pop Pop!). On Monday it was still pretty cold but we went to our friend Leila's house and played with the kids and went to the park. On Tuesday it was a very busy day here inside because I had a work thing so Sophie got to watch extra videos while sitting in her chair (I *think* this was a hit though I even had Finding Nemo queued up as a standby and she really wasn't into it). Then later on Tuesday afternoon, we went and had her St. Pat's photoshoot to get us out of the house and take advantage of the cute bow moments while they lasted.

Wednesday the weather broke and so we went to the Zoo! Our favorite part of this trip was again getting to feed the geese and the peacocks while eating lunch. I had saved up all our old bread and took a big bag just for this purpose. Sophie enjoyed it so much but at one point she took a piece of bread for herself (it was from the freshest loaf) and had it in her hand. I turned around and no joke, the goose beak (or bill or whatever it's called) was wrapped on her little clenched first with her bread in it. Sophie didn't even flinch. I don't think it bit her or anything but of course I was scared and pulled her away. I'm amazed at how nonplussed she was about the whole thing. THEN, a gorgeous peacock came walking over to us and we had him all to ourselves. Sophie was so close she could practically ride him! We fed him bread and looked at his beautiful head and feathers. What fun!!

Yesterday, we stayed in so Sophie could get some good naps in because she's been pretty tired this week and also is teething really bad again. Of course, despite best efforts there was no napping happening so instead late in the day we went to the store and ordered her birthday cake - how exciting!! And for those of you in the northeast area, I didn't know that Acme has a promotion to give away a free 1/4 sheet birthday cake for your child's first birthday (or $15.99 toward a larger cake). Pretty great, huh?

Today, we will meet up with Dee Ree and Uncle Bubba and his girlfriend Theresa at the Please Touch Museum. What a week, huh???
