Cousin Fun

 Although we were together under less than favorable circumstances, it was really cute seeing all ten cousins playing together. We took several trips to the park and went swimming. We made a trip to the zoo and even ventured out to eat with our huge crowd. I loved how all the girls played together. Sophie kind of missed out, but the girls still loved to gather around Sophie and try to make her laugh. It was a little chaotic, especially at meal times, but it was a sight that both would have stressed out Grandma Jensen and a sight she would have loved.

Daniel and his bro-in-law Alan

 We're glad we are no longer the only people without kids. It makes it a little more fun.

 I don't know how, but all the older kids slept in the same room for the majority of their visit. It was quite the slumber party.On Memorial Day we played a little baseball. For having such young kids, they did a really great job! Mostly they loved running the bases, which was just too cute.

 Per her usual, Sophie slept through the whole thing.

Daniel's First Father's Day

 It was a beautiful first Father's Day. We had dinner at Erin and Jason's after going to church to hear Daniel's boss and his wife speak. They've been called to be mission presidents in Mexico City.

 Sophie loves her daddy. There is not a man on Earth that holds a candle to him. He can make her smile just by walking in the door. He is even starting to distract her from nursing just by being in the room. She will just watch him walk around the apartment.

**A shout-out to Daniel: He's been working out and we've both been eating healthier and he has lost almost thirty pounds. He looks amazing!

 I made this lovely onesie for Daniel after some inspiration I found on Pinterest...It may be the coolest thing I have ever made.

 Sophie has become a pro at standing. If we prop her up just right she will just stand at the couch all by herself. She may walk before she crawls...

 Daddy and daughter do enjoy watching baseball together.

Daniel took some pictures of Sophie and I playing at the park. We tried going swimming at the pool--but it was reserved for some birthday party. We will have to try again sometime.

Five Months

 With everything that's been going on and having everyone here visiting, five months snuck up from out of nowhere. Sophie showed off her attempts at rolling over while we took pictures.

 She has also mastered ripped her headband off her head. She has become quite the chatterbox and she yells and screams to herself mostly when no one is paying attention to her, so riding in the car is very entertaining for us now.

She's happy as ever. And drools like crazy--no sign of teeth, but lots and lots of drool.

Happy Baby, Happy Mom

 Staying at home is becoming increasingly easier. I've fallen into an agreeable schedule and the good weather helps too. I still want to work on developing some new hobbies and such. I'm working part-time for my mom's office from home which is pretty much the best kinda job you could ask for. 

I put Sophie in the Bumbo chair and she managed to flip the tray all the way off. So talented.
