Alexander wanted to do a craft with the egg carton. So he and Sophia made turtles! Next is a hedgehog!

coffee date

it's all about the technique
I Love You Card
For Mom's Day, Alex made several special personalized cards. While he was doing that, a certain little girl kept asking for hers by saying "mine!" "mine!" "meee" So he lovingly obliged.
I love the curls! This made my heart smile.
tea party
Sophia made tea for her guests this weekend.
words
Tday Sophia expanded her vocabulary by repeating different words that Grandma practiced with her. It was exciting to hear her say "bubbles," "beep beep" (for the Wheels on the Bus song, her current fave), and "knife." She's been a pro at saying "bye bye" for a couple weeks and is improving her "no." It's also wonderful to hear her start making lots of different sounds - especially the "l" sound, which she uses when trying to say her brother's name (imagine "ala"). It's pretty magical helping her learn to talk.
too much!
finally editing some photos for a friend's soon-to-be business and had to share a couple of these photos of Sophia.

some serious art was happening here.

veggie boxes

geniosity 2.0
after being told to keep the magic sand in the blue tray and off the ground, Sophia made her own extension of the tray.
new do!
Mommy finally made the appointment for Sophia's first haircut this past weekend. She was the cutest "model" client (in our humble opinion).
