Winter recital

So be good for goodness sakes!

Santa knows if you've been bad or good

Tickle Monster.

And then what happened?

The one where Claire has the hiccups.

This was taken in the dead middle of the night while we were still in the hospital. Maybe this is funny to me because Sophie and I get the hiccups all the time, or maybe it's just the meds.

Shakin' her maracas. Er, maraca.

In case you were wondering, this is the Fresh Beat Band on Nick Jr. This show is really awful and absolutely annoying if you are over the age of 4. That said, Sophie loves it.

Talent Show Night

Carseat Mambo

Taken by cameraphone, this is probably from last fall?

The United States of No.

Wheeeee! Or, How come you never close the blinds?

One two, buckle my shoe.

Please turn head sideways. Sorry about that. Blame Steve Jobs.

Please note the 'jumping' going on. It's totally going to win awards for cuteness.

A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.

Apparently trying to get someone to talk for the camera results in giggles and book-hitting.

Sophie now has quite a few words in her repertoire, the newest of which are 'oh no!' and (while shaking her finger) 'No, no, no!'.

Although she still calls both Mom and Dad 'Mom'. Still working on that one.

Body movin, body movin, a1 sound, sound so soothin

Shaking her groove thang.

Just like popcorn.

Houston, we have a walker.

Sometime in the last week, Sophie has stopped taking two or three wobbly steps before plopping on her butt, and started walking across the room. Gone are the days when she would stay in one place.

The rearview.

Happy Mother's Day!
