Sophie is 18 months old!

Sophie had her 18 month check-up this afternoon. Here are her latest stats:

Weight: 18 lbs 9.5 oz - less than 3rd percentile
Length: 29 1/3 inches - 4th percentile
Head: 18.25 inches - 45th percentile

So, she's super skinny, short and has an average size head for someone her age. Everything checked out great. She had her last immunization and won't need another shot (except flu shots) until she's 5 years old and on her way to kindergarten!

Last weekend, Sophie got her first haircut! Umm... it was a little traumatizing.

Sophie loves playing with her toys and with her friends at daycare. She's been busy exploring all over the place, pointing things out to us, serving us fake coffee and food from her play diner and chatting up a storm.

Our new little baby boy should be here in less than two months! We are very excited to meet him.

Happy New Year 2010!

We had a relaxing New Year weekend, mainly staying in our pajamas, out of the freezing cold temps (-20 F) outside. None of us stayed up till midnight on New Year's Eve, but we were up early on New Year's Day and hosted breakfast for the Schmidts and the Arnetts. We had crepes, fruit, bacon, sausage and smoothies- yum! On Saturday, we braved the crowds at the Mall of America, had some lunch and did some window shopping. Today, Bryan and Sophie went swimming at Lifetime Fitness. Sophie had a blast, even though the water there is a little colder than the 92 degrees that she's used to

Sophie and Dad spent lots of time cuddling on the couch, reading books together.

When I bring out the camera, Sophie loves running towards it and making funny faces.

We hope 2010 brings you lots of joy and happiness. Happy New Year!
