Oliver and Sophia

These are from the end of May. Oliver is around six months and Soph is around 8 months. It's so fun to see them actually interact finally! They're both on the move now...gotta get them together again and see them go! We miss you Fays... see you in July!

Our Sick Sophie

Sophia has had a lower respitory infection for the past week and then got an ear infection on top of it. Our poor sweet baby has been all kinds of medicated, which I will say has been extremely scary for me! She got a fever the day after she started her breathing machine (of course that was a Sunday). I worried about giving her Tylenol on top of the breathing medication and Dimetapp she was already taking. Then to add on the ear antibiotics and drops the next day! ahh!! It has all been a little overwhelming, but I'm happy to say she is coming out the other side. Today was a great Mother's Day!!

Here are all of her meds and treatments that we've had to stay on top of for this week...
And here is precious Sophia getting ready for the breathing routine. She gets sooo annoyed by having that mask in front of her face. ..
Luckily, Jared discovered that if you replay the beginning song from "The Backyardigans" over and over and over (for the ten minute treatment) she seems to be okay. Sometimes she even giggles a little bit. "Hi I'm Pablo. And I'm Tyrone..." We can recite the whole thing if you want, just ask. We're down to twice a day on this now. Things are finally looking up for the health in the Doe household!

Peek-a-Boo I see you Oliver!

Sophia and Oliver were playing peek-a-boo in the nursery at church this Sunday. I love the progression of these shots! she is so excited to see her friend!

Chino Bandidos!

Here is Sophia enjoying her first "Chino Bandido's" with Grandma and Grandpa Doe and Aunt Randee. What an experience it always is! :)

Come back soon!!!

We're back

Well, I have been a bit behind on the blogging. We've had an eventful few weeks. First Papa Roger and Grandma Connie came to visit for a week. The next week Grandma and Grandpa Doe came to visit. Towards the end of their visit we took Jared to the emergency room and he had his appendix taken out! This week Sophia has been sick and today is running a fever. Like I said...eventful! Nevertheless...

Here are some photos from the day the girls went to the zoo with Papa Roger.

Emma and Papa walking through the zoo

Papa and Sophia hangin out by the elephants.
Emma can't even believe her mom keeps making her come to the zoo!
And Sophia likes to eat her gross shoe. What can you do?

6 month Check Up

It's almost been a month since her 6 month check up, but I never filled yall in :).

Sophia weighed 15 lbs 12 oz (about 50th percentile)

and was 25.5 inches long (also about 50th percentile).

Her head, however, put her in the 90th percentile!

Again so smart!

Are you starting to notice a proud mother trend? Someone shut this lady up!

Bathtime with Emma

We gave Emma and Sophia their first bath together the other night. Emma was very busy checkin out Sophia's bath toys and Sophia just watched her intently! :)

We tried everything short of a three ringed circus to get them to both look at us for a picture. Never got it. Here Emma is screaming "CHEESE!!" along with her mom and Aunt Marcie. Chaos!
And then Emma had to check out the seat. Again calling herself the baby..."I Phia!"
