Visiting Daddy!


FF Krapf!

Last week, we went to the fire station to visit Mike while he was at work. Sophie got to hang out with all Mike's firefighter friends and got her picture taken with Daddy's turnout gear.

A Visit with the Easter Bunny


Looking cool in her new shades on the way to see the Bunny

Last Tuesday, we took Sophie to the Dayton Mall to visit with the Easter Bunny. She was very excited to get her picture taken with the bunny. However, once we got to the mall and she saw the bunny, her excitement quickly turned to terror. Mike even tried holding her hand while she was on the bunny's lap, but nothing would help. Happy Easter!!!


Not so sure about this rabbit!


Daddy tries to make things better!


Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday!



Sophie is 11 months old now! It is hard to believe she has only been with us for such a short time, as we can't imagine life without her. Sophie, we love you so much!!!

The Popper!



Sophie got a Fisher Price popper for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa Schaeff. Since she can walk now, we decided to bring out the popper. It has taken about a week to get used to it (and not be afraid of the popping!), but Sophie is now a popping professional!

She pops in the kitchen too!

Baby Carriage


"Little Mommy"

We found a Little Tikes baby carriage at a garage sale; brought it home; cleaned it up; and gave it to Sophie. She loves it! She has pushed her doll babies up and down the driveway hundreds of times (she has also pulled her babies out of the stroller and run them over with it!). Sophie loves being a "Little Mommy" and strolling her babies around!

St. Patrick's Day!


First St. Patty's Day!

Last Wednesday was Sophie's first St. Patrick's Day! Normally, we go to Ron's Pizza in the 'Burg for the big event, but Mike had to work this year, so we went for dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Schaeff and some of their friends. Afterwards, since it was such a nice evening, we got to play outside. It was a fun day, but we can't wait until next year when we can celebrate as a family!
