Sick...or playing hookie?

Soph has been fighting a cold for the past several days. Yesterday she wasn't feeling well so we took her to her pediatrician during walk in hours. They told us she could have roseola. She still hasn't broken out into a rash so it's probably just a cold. She's had a temperature so the doctor said not to take her to the sitters. El was with her all morning so I could go into work and get acouple things finished, then I went home around 12:30 and spent the afternoon with her. She was fine all afternoon. She was laughing and playing and being herself. Here's some pictures from yesterday to prove she felt fine:

She loves Elliott's hats and always puts them on backwards:

 Does this look like the face of a sick baby? LOL!

 We had a tea party/picnic. Soph says "tea" when she gets the tea cups or the tea kettle.

I have to say, I enjoyed spending the afternoon with her and wish I could take every afternoon off with her. :)

Zoo fun

Saturday was a super fun day. After the pumpkin patch, we took Soph home, gave her lunch, put her down for a nap, then when she woke up...we went to the Zoo.

Her second time riding the boat at the zoo:

 She looks like such a big girl:

 Waving to the animals on the boat ride:

 We always have to stop and see her favorite...the kangaroos:

 Then we took her on the train for the first time. Before it started Soph was checking everyone out and of course was hamming it up when they were talking to her and saying how cute is:

 She liked the train ride but was ready to get off when it stopped.

 LOL the expression on her face is too cute:

 Just playing with mommy's boots:

 And of course the famous back pack:

 Then 4 deer were out back so she was checking them out:

 She loves books...especially animal books:

 On Sunday I tried putting a clip in her hair...and it stayed! I was soo excited. Then after a few mins she pulled it out and acouple hairs came out. Since she doesn't have much hair...we can't risk her pulling it out so I doubt she'll have the clip in for awhile lol.

 She was eating her dinner...then put her plate on her head and said "hat." Silly girl!

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we took Soph to the pumpkin patch. This year was much different than last year. Last year she was only acouple weeks old, it was hot and we only stayed for about 20 mins because we were worried Soph's bald head would get burnt (we didn't have a hat on her). This year was super fun. Soph loved everything about it.

Taking a break from looking for the perfect pumpkins:

 Soph is an animal lover so we weren't surprised when she kept wanting to go back to the animals:

 Pointing to her favorite pumpkin:

 Feeding the donkey:

 This place had 2 cats, as everyone knows I'm afraid of cats. Soph usually likes them. This face says it all. At first she was scared and made that face, then she was running towards them yelling "kitty!" LOL!

 My little piggy!

 Back to the animals:

 She was soo curious about the scarecrows:


Soph and daddy:

 They had a jump house and Soph loved it. We had a hard time getting her out of it. I felt bad because her nose kept running so I'd try to get her to come to the side so I could wipe her nose but she was having too much fun. The little girl in this picture (with all the hair) just watched Soph the entire time. She never moved lol.

 So they had this little train and I knew Soph would like it. Its meant for kids but she's too small so I bit the bullet and squeezed into it. It was a TIGHT squeeze to say the least. Anything for my baby!

We had soo much fun and cannot wait to carve our pumpkins!

Book bags and laundry baskets = Friday fun

Last night Soph wasn't feeling well so we stayed in all night. She didnt eat all her dinner (which is NOT like her) and she has a cold. Here's some pics from our night:

Soph loves hats, purses, and now book bags:

She is also a HUGe fan of shoes. Here she's trying on my shoes:

And she had fun getting into the laundry basket by herself:

Even though her nose is running NON stop...she is still having fun:

She would put everything in the clothes basket...then she'd jump in it. She's too funny.

Love her!!

Daddy making Soph smile by pushing her around in the clothes basket.

Trying on more shoes:
