sophie the photographer and more!

My bad, it has been a long time since I have posted on behalf of Sophie. So, here's the past two months in a nut shell. First, Sophie has begun to take her own pictures. Some of these pictures have even been interesting and/or beautiful. Above, see a self portrait entitled "The fuzzier side of me".

So, as part of the last few months, we celebrated some major holidays. First, we made it safely through the Thanksgiving season without any major weight gain, but a whole lot of singing!

Then, we made it through Hannukah and Christmas time with a little bit of weight gain and not as much singing. We came back to Chelmsford for New Year's eve.

Sophie started off the new year quite properly with a very large growth spurt and her first case of strep throat in early late January. She was a very good sport about it, forcing Mommy to take her to the doctor only because has a fever for more than two days and not due to a lack of appetite or complaints of a sore throat. On the otherhand, trying to get the medication into Sophie involved many special ops.

This past weekend, we all went to the Children's Museum to enjoy the brand new Curious George exhibit. Sophie had a fantastic time until the a furry version of George showed up. We thought there was a chance she might want to meet this new and very large George, but Sophie began crying that she was scared shortly before we hit the front of the waiting line to meet George. Apparently, he was too big and did not have the right amount of fingers and toes. This was unacceptable for Sophie. Mommy has to agree as furries haunt her nightmares. Furries to Mommy are much like animals from Australia for Daddy.
