help me obi one...

help me obi one: it seems i have been catching sophia a lot lately during bathtime. It has been our "alone" time lately- just mommy and sophi. She is wearing Livia's bathrobe I had personalized ee-ons ago...what was I thinking? Anyway, I think she looks a little like Princess Leia ("Help me Obi One Kenobi") or L.L. Cool J ("Mama Said Knock You Out"). What do you think?

a few christmas moments...

a few christmas moments: i feel pretty bad because i wasn't able to capture as many christmas moments as i have in the past. Christmas Eve I came down with the stomach flu and am finally recovering 4 days later. I hope I got enough to share Sophia's first Christmas. Here are just a few...

a few christmas moments...

can't you just see the joy on her face? what is this?
bright and early christmas morning....sophia already had had a bath because she was covered in poo (merry christmas, daddy!)


christmas eve with cousins, kaytlin and elana

the 2 withers girls...ahhhh....

bathing beauty...

bathing beauty: tonight was one of those nights when i just had to get the camera. Sophia was in the bathtub and she was looking so cute. She has been sick, so it amazes me how she can be so cheerful with her nose running and her ears bothering her. What a cutie (but of course I am biased)...

christmas elves...

christmas elves:sophia - 7 months
livia - 6 months (with the same christmas hat and onesie)

catch-up...

catch-up: it has been awhile, since i added some pictures. 2 weekends ago we visited the Macy's 8th floor with our girls' godparents and friends, Paul and Laurie. I think they look better with our kids than we do!

livi decided she wanted to see santa after the 8th floor exhibit. We waited for almost 45 minutes to see Santa. As we were next in line Livi said to Bobby, "I really don't want to see Santa." You can bet we saw Santa after all that wait!

first word: can you guess what it is?
