Birthday Girl!!

5 years ago today Brian and I went in to the Logan hospital to have Sophie delivered by Cesarean section (she was breach & had the cord around her neck). We were so nervous and excited to meet this little girl and bring her in to our family!
We feel so blessed to have her!

Just a few days old & as sweet as can be

One year old & letting it be known who's the boss

Two years old & feisty!

3 years old & loving all things girly!

4 years old & FUNNY!
5 years old & so grown up!

Here is a little info about our Sophie girl on her 5th birthday:

She loves being a big sister and is such a natural little caretaker with Nora and Miles, or any other child who happens to be around!

She is very excited for school to start next month and thinks turning 5 will mean she is old enough to do all sorts of things (like ride her bike to school) by herself.
She is (and always has been) a very emotional girl. She feels every emotion very strongly, but is getting better at working her way through them.
She is very sensitive to anything she perceives as scary. We still don't watch any Disney shows that have anyone who is too scary or she has nightmares and a hard time falling asleep.
She is pretty shy and gets nervous if asked to do anything in front of a crowd.
She loves to just be at home.
She loves to eat broccoli, meat, blueberries, muffins, chocolate milk & popcorn
Some of her favorite things to do are: any kind of craft, exploring outside, looking for bugs (she will pick up any kind of bug or creature -except spiders!), playing Barbies, playing "family", making up songs, playing tag, swinging, talking on the phone, drawing pictures and making up a story to go with it, playing soccer and making a bed on the floor and watching a favorite show with the whole family!
Some of her favorite shows are: Dora the Explorer, Strawberry Shortcake, Max & Ruby, Bindi the Jungle girl & Rachel Ray
Some of the things she says a lot of: "Mom, let's make a deal...", "Oh, ummm... here's an idea..", "Okay, here's the plan.."
I can't believe Sophie is already 5 years old! She is a joy to have in our family and we love her so much! Happy Birthday Sophie!!
