Summer Fun

It has been a great couple of weeks here in the Sunshine State. Although it hasn't been much of that lately, ha! I have to admit that I love the summer afternoon down pours! Especially now that I can stay home and watch it from my comfy, cozy home and not have to be out in it!

My mom was with us for a week and what a blessing it was! She always is such a big help when she comes. Sophie is such a nanny's girl!! It's always "move over, momma, Nanny is in town" when my momma is here. She'll have nothing to do with me. One night she was crying so I went to get her, but oh no, that wasn't good enough...she wanted her nanny and as soon as my mom took her she was fine. I'm glad that she has this security with my mom! That's the way it is suppose to be. We miss you, Nanny!!

After my mom left on Monday Sophie and I headed to Daytona Beach to spend some time with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin for a few days. I always enjoy spending time with them!! Here is a picture of Sophie is in her lil' two piece (it's from my phone so it's pretty poor quality...i forgot my camera)! I love it...

I always miss my family after they're gone!! For days I'll have that homesick feeling. It's no fun seeing them go! Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to live near them!!

Sophie went for her 6 month check up yesterday! I can't even believe how fast this past half a year has gone!! Anywho...she is in the 90% for her weight and the 40% for her height, ha! She's just perfect I think! The doctor said she is "thriving"! Her personality has come out in full force these past couple of weeks! She is so sweet, fun, joyful, and strong-willed. Wonder where she gets that from :)! She can get mad real quick! She'll throw her little arms down and make this grunting scream if she didn't like something. I couldn't help but laugh at first, but now it's becomming more frequent and not so funny. I talked to her ped and she said to distract her when she does this, but not to give in to her. I couldn't imagine a more perfect child! I'm so blessed!

We are going on vacation next week to Daytona Beach with some dear friends of ours! We can't wait! Poor Joe needs a break!! Then we are heading to Kentucky for my birthday at the beginning of August and the middle of August I'm going to Lee to help my cousin move into the dorms! Fun times ahead!
