From The 8th

(Please excuse Sophie's ragtag outfit - it was the end of the day.) 

Sophie discovered that if she rolls a ball under the stove, Pascal gets on his stomach to retrieve it and while he's down, she can climb on his back: 

One More From Paris

It's off center, out of focus and the flash went off (illuminating the reflective piping), but I love her expression!

20 Months

Sophie turned 20 months on Sunday and had her checkup this afternoon.  She's tipping the scales at 11.7 kg (25.8 lbs) and standing tall (off the chart!) at 88.5 cm (34.8 in.).  Lanky just like her papa . . .

Snow Much Fun!

Last Friday, we woke up to this:

Sophie and Pascal built a snowman:

Sophie gave him a kiss:

Our angel made a snow angel (that is Pascal's angel below her):

And then Pascal pulled out his childhood sled and pulled us around the village.  Unlucky for you and lucky for me, THERE ARE NO PICTURES :)

P.S.  We have since purchased bona fide snow boots for Sophie and I located a coordinating scarf to avoid the explosion of patterns and colors that she has going on . . .

19 Months

Here she is, in her static-haired glory, playing on her car seat:

She is a hoot, as we watch her personality emerge.  She loves to say "no, no, no", even when she doesn't mean it!  Her vocabulary is exploding, and she can follow directions, putting something in the garbage, looking for something, etc.  She can also ignore directions :)
