First Year of LIfe

Here is a video we made to play at Sophia's party. It didn't work on the DVD player so here it is now...
Enjoy!

Sophia's First Birthday Party

We had about 45 friends and family come help us celebrate Sophia's first birthday. It was mad chaos, but it was so fun! Sophs did not disappoint with the pink cupcake!

Happy First Birthday Sophia Layne!!

It's true. Our baby girl is a year old today!

What an amazing year it has been.

We love you Sophia and are so thankful for you!

You bring mom and dad sooo much joy!!

Trial run...

Mom and Dad had a small party for sweet Sophs. We wanted to see when she would do with the cake. Yea...no problem with that! Saturday's party should be fun!

Come on...Stand Up!!

Sophia is such a content and happy baby. She will play with whatever is in front of her forever. She's so content that she really has no desire to get a move on. Just this past week she has decided that it might be time to try to catch up with Emma. She is so close to standing on her own. I'm sure she'll be on the move and no time and I'll forget what it was like to be able to just sit and watch her. We're all trying to convince her to stand up here. I think Karie is having the most fun. No worries...she quickly reverts back to her "peg leg" at the end.

Congrats Allens!!

Jared and I went to Cali this weekend to one of his best friend, Tim's, wedding. They were kind enough to get married in Laguna! We left Sophia with Aunt Koo Koo, Uncle Steve and Emma. We had such a great time and it was a beautiful wedding! We've never seen Timbo happier!

Love you guys!!

Mom and Dad Sans Sophs ^
Does and Allens... Ashley was such a beautiful and fun bride!

Don't tell Sophia...

Tomorrow our sweet Sophia Layne will be turning one whole year old!!

Last week, her aunts and I went to Build A Bear and put her "Sophia" song in a custom chip and put it in it's hand so everytime she pushes her bear's hand she'll hear us singing her song. We only had 10 seconds to record it so it's warp speed. Here she is kissing it's heart before putting it in...

She already loves the bear. :) Thanks for your help Allie and Karie!
