birthday girl 2010

We had a birthday party at grandma and grandpa palazzolo’s house for Sophia. What a blast. Sophia loves animals but kitties especially. We had a kitty theme. She loved it. We had pictures of real kitties and she had a hello kitty cake. Her cousin Syd helped her get dressed in a kitty shirt and skirt with leopard trim. She got lots of awesome presents but her faves were the sled and an outfit. She loves clothes! We tied a BUNCH of balloons that Christina got her to the sled and Ben pulled her around the house. She was in heaven.

She was too cute eating her cake that grandma got her. Pink frosting was everywhere. It was a lot of fun and only a little sad that my baby is a toddler now.

I think it’s genetic. You open the fridge in our house and either phil or Sophia comes running/crawling. Both of them are more than willing to stand in front of the fridge and check out the contents. At least phil is quiet about it. Sophia is ooohing and aaahing so loudly that I have to stop what I am doing and check it out. It sounds like she’s found treasure. Her new trick is climbing onto the shelf in front of the veggie drawer. Maybe she’s starving???

The other weekend she took a hard nap and woke up with a bad case of bedhead. I don’t think she knew where she was when she woke up. she is adorable.

There have been some sunny days, but it’s still pretty cold so Sophia has been getting bundled up to ride her tricycle and wagon around. I can’t believe how big she is! She rings the bell on her bike and if we take her off too early, she lets us know that she isn’t done. Miss Independent. And now she’s walking, too.
