What's Sophie up to?

Grabbing onto toys...

Getting them in her mouth...

Sitting in her bumbo...although briefly or she becomes a bobble head...

Taking a lot baths because she seems to be an overflowing fountain of spit up...

Enjoying snooze time on the floor when the siblings are in bed...

Lots of smiles...

And a lot of cooing!

Slime


We had a free day with no appointments or commitments, so we decided to make some slime!


Here's how!

Step 1: Pour 4oz (1/2 c) glue into a jar.

Step 2: Fill the empty glue bottle with water (1/2 c) & then add it to the jar.

Step 3: Add food coloring.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, add 1 cup water & 1 tsp borax powder.

Step 5: Slowly stir the glue mixture into the bowl of borax solution.

Step 6: Knead the slime in the bowl until it feels dry.

The more the slime is played with, the firmer & less sticky it will become. Enjoy!


Store your slime in a zip-lock bag in the fridge. Otherwise it will develop mold.

Riding with Poppa

We were visiting Nonny & Poppa's last week & Poppa was getting ready to mow, so the boys were excited to drive the mower around the block. They have so much fun & he gives them free reign!


Zoe thought she wanted to go for a ride, until she got close to the mower.

Big Girl Bed


This weekend, Zoe discovered the toddler bed downstairs - said "My Bed" and laid down on it. She seemed very excited about it, so Aaron & I moved it upstairs into her room & decided to give it a go.

The first try was naptime on Saturday. She went to bed effortlessly & didn't come out once! At bedtime, she came out a couple times - we walked her back in, gave her a hug & she stayed! It's only been two nights, but she is off to a good start!
