Success!!

Today was a success! I was ready for it to be a total failure because I decided to take away Sophie's bottles for good... She's no longer needs lactose free formula so I've completely transitioned her to cow's milk. She went down for her nap and only cried for two minutes! Then tonight when she went to bed she only cried for four minutes. I'm so proud of myself! We are now binky and bottle free in this home! Yahoo!

Now if I could just get rid of the diapers... haha jk :)

I love this sweet video... I was reminiscing with myself her newborn days...
(Sorry that the first few seconds with Cory are a little Blair Witch! Also, Cory really likes to get close ups!)


And... blowing kisses :)

Mherra

Today, Sophie realized Mherra likes snack time too! Hey... at least she's sharing!!

Waffles!

The other day Cory and I taught Sophie how to dip her waffle into syrup. She definitely got the dipping part down :) She hates having dirty hands so I knew she'd love the concept!

Happy Birthday Sophie Joy!




Miss Sophie is ONE today. I may or may not have cried. I just love my little bug so much and she is special in every way. There isn't a day that goes by that someone doesn't tell me she is such a delightful and happy baby. We feel truly blessed to have her in our lives.

Here's what she's up to:
Walking, walking, walking!
She only has 3 teeth :)
She's a great eater
She blows kisses at everyone she see's
We can put her in her crib awake and she falls asleep by herself

Words:
Mama, dada, papa, nana (banana), dane do (Thank you), baby, Uh oh, peas (please), whasthat (what's that), night night, bye bye, hi!!

I say to her "blow a kiss" and she puts her hand up to her mouth and goes, MMMMUAHH!
So cute!!

Here's pics of one of her parties I planned. We did the exact same party in Logan on Wednesday night. I left my camera at my mom's so I'll have to get pics from friends asap!

See ya 2010!

The only hospital visit I enjoyed this year was the one that brought me my little Soph. Other than that, it's been an unhealthy year for me! However, I think my medical issues have come to an end.

On Wednesday, December 15 Soph and I flew to Indiana so I could figure out my medical problems. I saw a doctor on Friday who referred me to IU Medical Center to get an ERCP. Apparently IU has the best medical facility and doctors to perform this procedure. The possible complications to the ERCP were pretty scary, but the worst risk was pancreatitis! So, I wasn't too worried :)

The ERCP is an exploratory surgery and they actually ended up finding out what was wrong! I had Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD, which Cory calls Sphincter of Garfield. Hilarious, I know). Anyway, I feel so relieved. I was so grateful I didn't get pancreatitis and wasn't hospitalized over Christmas. I was sick for a few days but I am now feeling good.

I had the most wonderful Christmas with my family and Sophie was the cutest girl EVER! She had to take a nap after opening just two presents. Haha! She's a walking and talking machine. She walks everywhere and can even stand back up on her own if she falls. Her running is pretty hilarious too. I just love that little bug. I've got to starts writing down the things she says! I'll be so mad if I forget!

We also had the cutest birthday party for her Dec. 27 which was also Cory and I's 2 year anniversary! We have yet to celebrate our anniversary... but I'm sure we'll get around to it :) We're having another birthday party for her on Wednesday night here in Logan. I left my camera at my mom's so I'll post pictures soon!

My new year resolution? Stay away from the hospital!!
