Grown up Sophie

Apparently Tyler has alot of free time at work...

Sophie's Blessing & July



July has been way too busy! Since the 2nd of July we have either had company or been out of town. It has been fun but when we finally were home and it was just us three again it was the best feeling! I have been really bad about updating because I always put pictures up on facebook, but I know alot of my friends from home dont have it so I need to update on here too.

One of my very favorite times of Sophies life so far was her baby blessing! I had been looking forward to hearing Tyler bless her since before she was even born. He did such a good job with everything he said and afterwards he held her up really high and she was wide awake! She is such a sweet little baby and I couldnt love her more! Her blessing dress was so adorable and when I bought it on the display they had a little colored sash around it so we put a hot pink ribbon around hers.
Also in July was me birthday. I actually dont really care about my birthday that much and this year I was just excited because we got on a trip to Island Park with my family and relax!! Ashley got me this cute apron and my grandma got me that hot pink plant and stand since we had no flowers on our porch! My mom gave me the Zumba DVDs that I had been wanting and a cute recipe box because all of my recipes were on random papers all over my kitchen! All weekend we played games, jetskiied, slept, and ate way too much good food! It is so much fun to just be with my sisters and momma. Abby is the best little babysitter. I can't believe how good she is with Soph for being only 12 years old!

I thought this swimsuit and sunglasses were too cute to pass up! She had a few wardrobe malfunctions where a couple times her swimsuit top rode up and something (s) would hang out the bottom. She actually hates being outside and we didnt have her out there too much. She is definitely like her parents and is a hot little furnace that hates being overheated!

I cannot believe she is already over three months old! Time flies so fast. She has definitely been more awake and can look at people and knows who her parents are! Actually having such a crazy month made her a little clingy to me and Tyler and it started getting a little difficult. She learned how to throw a pretty big fit and definitely freaked us out a few times with some major fits! Tyler figured out "the Happy Dance" with her that is one of the only things that calms her down. One night in Idaho we went into West Yellowstone and left Soph with my mom and she threw a huge fit! My mom could not calm her down, and then Tyler walked in and did the happy dance with her and she immediately stopped crying! He has the magic touch. She has been alot better since we have been home, I think she is just a homebody.


We must think alike! All of us wore hot pink this day so we had to take a picture. Emily didnt end up coming which was disapointing but we do get to add Soph as one of the girls now!


Having a baby has definitely changed our day to day lives! It is really hard to get alone time with me and Tyler where we can actually pay attention to each other and hang out. The other night Ashley babysat Soph and we went to the drive in til 3 in the morning by ourselves. It made me realize how much I have missed him and we need to make sure we have time with each other too!

Soph has started smiling like crazy and I've caught quite a few of them on camera. I think she is a little camera shy though because alot of times she wont smile until I put the camera back down. She sometimes seems a little shy with people too, she will smile big and then bury her face into my shirt. My favorite time of the day is getting her out of bed in the mornings when she is so smiley and happy. I love having my little girlfriend to hang out with me all day and take naps with me!
