8 months

Sophie is 8 months old tomorrow.  Time is flying so fast.  She has such a cute personality and is a great baby. She rolls all over the place and wants to eat anything you are eating.  If she hears you open a wrapper or package she stares you down until you give her a taste.  Still doesn't crawl or have any teeth but will stand up to things and can hold herself up pretty good.  She now says the word "huh" and if you reply with "huh" she thinks its a fun game and says it over and over.  We love our little Soph and can't believe how big she is getting.  Also notice how much she looks like her daddy.  He sure does make a cute girl! 

Sophie in Action

She can now play peek-a-boo with herself

She really really really enjoys food

She also likes having Tea Parties with mom 

Ponytails and Pigtails

 I have had fun experimenting with Sophie's hair.  She has one section of hair right on the crown of her head that is pretty long and sticks straight up.  I have been curling it with a curler but it is getting a little long for that so I have tried pigtails, a ponytail, and then just kind a scrunching it.  Isn't she pretty?

Oh the Weather Outside is Frighful!

It is hard to keep a baby warm in negative degree weather but lucky for us Sophie has quite a few really cute warm accessories.  This is what we have come up with so far . . .

She is really great to Humor us and let me play dress up!!!

We love Aunt Aubrie!!!

Sad for us but fortunate for the Canada Toronto mission, Aubrie left for the MTC the day after  the New Year.  We know she will be a great missionary and we already miss her!  The hardest part for me was realizing how big Sophie will be when she gets home.  She will be 2.  I am so glad Sophie has such a great Aunt and example to look up to.  We Love Aubrie!!!

Christmas!

We started out the Christmas Holiday with a Woodward Celebration a few days before Christmas.  Everyone was spoiled and the grandkids got lots of new princess dresses, hats, puzzles, etc to play with at grandmas house.   The coon skin was Sophie's pick and she pulled off the look pretty well!

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas at the Waldron household.  This snake quilt was made by Sophie's great Grandma Julie.  Isn't it cute?

Trying on mom's scarf

And here she is with all her treasures!  She did really well opening presents.  Once we would start ripping them she would finish.  She had a lot of presents to open and was pretty worn out for the last few but somehow managed to get them opened.  

So as you can see the only Christmas pictures we got were of Sophie.  Colton and I had a great Christmas too.  It is so great to get to be with family, eat good food, and just relax and enjoy the break.  We love our families so much!

Sophie has met some famous people!

First she got to meet Santa at our Ward Party.   (She really liked his beard)

And then she was lucky enough to get a picture with  Big Blue.  By the smile on her face I think  she liked him!

We are very excited for Christmas at our house and hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season.
