I have been LOVING the stage Sophie is in right now and don't want her to get any bigger! She is getting to be so much fun. I need to be better about writing down all the fun stuff she does. I love to see her frankenstein walk around the house and hearing her little feet smacking the kitchen floor to come find me. I love watching her walk in circles around the living room chair acting like she has a serious purpose. I love to hear her jibberish in the backseat while Im driving. I love to show her new things and have her actually take it in and repeat them! In the last few weeks she has added alot of new words to her vocabulary. A few of my favorites are "Whereditgo?", Apple, shoe, Ippo (her pillow pet hippo), bird, Emma, and Abba. My all time favorite thing she does right now is walk over to me and grab my legs and buries her head in me to give me hugs.
A few of her favorite things right now are balloons, any and all animals, Toy Story, Yo Gabba Gabba, swimming, babies, and books.
We went to Rexburg for the 4th of July this year. It is one of my favorite holidays! A year ago from the 4th we actually blessed our sweet new baby! It will forever remind me of that special day and how much we love(d) her. There really are some things that Idaho is just more fun for, and one of them is the 4th! You would think that a baby would be really upset in the 3 1/2 hour car ride but somehow we can get Sophie laughing her head off at the most random things. This is one of my favorite things about her. She laughs and laugh so hard that she can barely breathe sometimes. I really have never seen a baby that can laugh as hard as her.

Saturday morning we went boating with my friend Jenna and her family. My mom and Abby gladly watched Sophie which made it a pretty relaxing day! Unfortunately the boat had some problems about half way through, so we didnt get to stay out as long as we wanted, but it was still better than nothing!
Jenna's little girl Charlotte is a few months older than Sophie and she is hilarious! She had this life jacket on and was making the funniest faces. I dont think she could figure out why all the sudden she was so top heavy and kept falling over. She is such a good girl though, she didnt even complain once!
Sunday afternoon my mom made a nice bbq dinner and then we decided to take a drive to Warm River to see the fish and Mesa Falls. They are pretty cool to see, but Sophie was a little freaked out by the falls. She looked so worried with her eyebrows furrowed the whole time trying to figure out what was going on.
Sunday night my sister was driving through town and noticed that people had already put their chairs out for the parade so we figured, why shouldnt we? Me, my mom, and Abby (everyone else was too busy playing Call of Duty!) went and put our chairs on main street at midnight and came the next morning to find out perfect reserved spot still waiting for us! It worked out so good. Sophie loved the horses and the little girls dancing the most. She actually was really paying attention to everything almost the whole time. It was so cute.
That afternoon we had a picnic at the Sugar park with my moms whole family. We set up to play water kickball which turned out really fun! The kids- including Tyler, all loved it. It was also fun for Sophie because they had swings and lots of little cousins that like to play with her!
That night we went to the best fireworks show we've seen! If you havent been to the Idaho Falls fireworks, they are worth the drive!! They spent 13 million dollars on them this year and they were awesome! My mom stayed home with Sophie and it was fun to go out to them and walk around the shops and booths set up there. The fireworks are right above the river in front of the IF temple. It was a perfect night!
On our way home Tuesday we stopped at a Wendys that had no one there and we let Sophie walk around for a while in the parking lot. Thats where I took this cute picture! It actually makes me kinda sad cause she is looking more like a little girl than a baby now. She is getting alot skinnier now too since she has been walking and we cant get her to eat almost any regular foods! :(

She is adorable, and I am sorry but I laughed out loud at the poop story. Killing me... Glad you had a fun weekend. It was fun to see you guys!
