Here we are, almost to the end of February. Time just keeps flying by. Baby #2's due date is in 28 days and I've been busy getting ready for his arrival. All the bags are packed and baby's clothes are washed and sorted in the closet. There's really no getting ready for sleepless nights.
A few weeks ago, we headed out to Parkers Lake, just down the street from our house, for Plymouth's annual Fire and Ice Festival. We toasted marshmallows in the bonfire and Sophie had her first taste of s'mores (imagine chocolate smeared all over her face). In the evening, we could watch the fireworks show from our window and Sophie ooh'ed and ahh'ed over them as they lit up the night's sky.
Sophie has been super busy, making phone calls to her stockbroker, running around the house, making us pretend coffee and ice-cream from her diner and reading lots of books (her current faves are 'Goodnight Moon' and 'A Potty for Me!').
Over Valentine's Day weekend, Melissa and Steve came to visit and to attend the Wild hockey game. Melissa is due in the beginning of May with a little baby girl. Sophie spent the night at Grandma's house and when she got home, she took a little warming up, but then she felt right at home with Steve holding her.
And later that evening, in the exact same pose, except with Uncle Adam holding her. Adam was back in town for a few days and came over for dinner and some Wii bowling.
