Papy, Let Me In!

Getting Maurice's attention while leaving her handprints all over his door . . . he loves it :)

Our Little Sunbeam

Toddling around the lawn today:

Happy Father's Day 2009

Hangin' out at the lawnmower with her papa . . .

Beachball Fun

Sophie loves, loves, loves her beachball: she kicks it, chases it and rolls on it. She also laughs when I playfully bounce it off of her :)

13 Months

She received another vaccination and weighed in at 20.7 lbs (9.4 kg)! Here she is wearing one of my dresses, before she started crawling away, hitting a rotting cherry with her knee and adding two grass stains. Guess what I laundered that night?

Wading Pool Fun

Beating the heat . . .

B Is For Blue

I love the shadows that her lashes cast:














And self-feeding later in the day. Check out that spoon action!

Happy (French) Mother's Day 2009

Me and my girl in the yard . . .

Castaway

Since the evening of May 19th, this is the day I've been waiting for.

The cast in all its dirty glory:














Waiting to leave for the hospital:














Sophie did not enjoy her second x-ray, despite not being in pain. The x-rays revealed that she is an excellent healer, but to take it easy for the next two weeks i.e. NO FALLS ON THAT WRIST. Sophie also did not enjoy the saw they used to cut away the cast. In her defense, it was kind of noisy.

No more cast to hinder the important act of lunch:














Pascal is getting home at midnight tonight and I have a monster headache so she went to bed AGAIN without a bath. She will have the bath of her life tomorrow morning :)
