There's Something About Sophie


This girl is too much.  She's too much fun.  She's too cute.  She's too smart.  She's too sweet.


Sophie is many things.  She's grown and changed so much over the last year.  And as she quickly approaches her fourth birthday, I wanted to capture just a smidgen of what she's like right now.


Sophie is such a sweetheart.  She has largely left the temper tantrums and freak outs behind her, and instead has replaced them with sweetness.  She will often come up and say, "Mom, you're the best Mom ever!"  She'll tell Danny, after a long night with her, "Thank you Daddy, for taking such good care of me when my legs hurt so bad."


She loves to dress up and make herself pretty.  She frequently takes clips and headbands and does her own hair.  She also loves to do my hair for me.


Sophie loves her sister, and she loves her brothers.  Even though she mostly fights with Johnny. :)  But she loves to take care of Luke for me, and is always so happy to see him in the morning.  She's become a little fish in the swimming pool, and practices very hard to learn how to swim on her back and put her face in the water.  She loves learning new skills.


Sophie is amazing.  That smile of hers is infectious, and her laughter sounds like music...sometimes very very loud music. :)  Her eyes are so bright and intelligent.  She's an absolute beauty. She's our Sophie Anne-kins, our Sosie, our Sosie-kins.  

We love her to pieces.

Sophie is so cute! I can't believe she will be almost 4! Wow they are all growing up way to fast. Hearing that Sophie is growing out of tantrums makes me hope that Ruby will do the same. :)
