Teaching Ashlyn bad eating habits...plastic greasy burger!
Sofie wasn't sure about another little person in her toys.
But they played very nice and even shared the rubber cheese! 
The fun swimming pool from G-ma and G-pa Blatter! It's the perfect size, and is small enough to be an indoor pool too, which will be perfect for the winter!Sofie is starting to really get around! She's still too short to figure out the stairs though, thank goodness I don't have to worry about those yet! Oh, and yes, we are sportin' the mohawk today!
Sofie is starting to show a bit of obstinance these days as well. Cute, but sometimes a bit tiring!
I got a free 1st Birthday cake from Albertsons. Pretty cool! Not the cutest cake in the world, but definitely the cheapest. And it did it's job well. (Don't worry, everyone else got a great "Earthquake Cake", which was incredibly good, by the way.)
Take One
Take Two
I had to put the clip right on the top of her head so that she couldn't reach it to rip it out.
She walks!! (sort of)
If we can get her to hold onto things in both hands, it tricks her into thinking she's holding onto something for balance and she's more brave. How darling! My little girl is all grow'd up!
Sofie got this great push-toy for her birthday (which isn't for another couple of weeks, but her aunts and uncles couldn't wait!). She loves the music and is showing us some new dance moves. (by the way, Sofie's hair is apparently in transition right now too, just like mom's. Can't do much with the mullet...) Today Sofie took a couple of steps on her own, no hands!!! We had to trick her into doing it, but she did it! I wish I had caught it on film 'cuz I'm sure it won't happen again for a while. She's getting so grown up :)
(yeah, I know, I need a haircut, it grows too fast!) 
She's so darling. I love how you can see her bright red "stork bite" on her hairline (the picture doesn't show it very well unless you magnify it) So far she's only tried to pull 'em out twice :)This is what Grandma and Grandpa Adamson got to wake up to on this Sunday morning. I promise it was louder in real life. (also, yes, it did eventually land on her head and make her cry...) It looks like a great core workout!! I can't believe Sofie is 11 months old! She's learning all kinds of things like where my nose is (she understands the word, but doesn't say it), as well as what her "plug" is, and also her "hippo." What she still hasn't learned is that a sippy cup is a wonderful thing that she better get the hang of ASAP so I can stop nursing her!! She's getting braver on her toes and can walk with just one hand stabilizing her! I got about a week of Sofie sleeping through the night again, but now she's sprouting another tooth, so it's not so "through the night" anymore.
