Sophie Turns Two

Sophie sure had a spectacular birthday. With my brother trying to compete with my mom's gift giving skills, Sophie received some amazing gifts. My mom gave her a little table, a tea set, another little riding toy, and a Frozen purse. Spencer (and my dad) swooped in a bought her a ball pit and play tent.  It's huge and super fun. Sophie and all her little friends that come over are in love with it. But now we have so many big toys we turned our extra room into a play room. We will be in trouble whenever we have a second baby and have to move Sophie into that room. We played all day and tried to make her a Mickey Mouse cake. I changed my plans half way through. My brother mixed up some black frosting which totally turned everyone's mouths black too and the cake turned out not too shabby. She had a wonderfully fun day and everyday has pretty much been fun since.

I can't believe this was her a year ago. A year ago Sophie couldn't walk, talk, feed herself fairly well, say "mommy" or "daddy," or play with friends. She didn't have long blonde hair that I love to play with. She didn't have super sensitive feelings that lead to lots of tears and in turn a sweet heart for others. She didn't hold our faces in her hands and give kisses. She couldn't express what she likes and doesn't like (which is most foods). She couldn't climb up in my bed and say "shhh, mommy sweeping" and snuggle in next to me. They really do grow up too darn fast.
