Top 5 Music Countdown

These are Sophie's current favorite songs to sing. The order changes depending on her mood.

1. Frere Jacques (a.k.a. - Are You Sleeping?, Where is Martha?, Where is Gherkin?, etc...)
2. Wheels on the Bus (a.k.a. - Up And Down)
3. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (a.k.a. - Teekle, Teekle)
4. Old McDonald (a.k.a. - EIEIO, or "quack, quack, here; quack, quack, there")
5. Baa Baa Black Sheep

You never know when she might launch into song, though good bets are in the car, in the bathtub, in her high chair... okay, pretty much any time.

Though not her greatest performance, here's last night's rendition of "Where is Martha?" (Frere Jacques), until she got distracted by the avocado on her hand.

guitar hero

Sophie is mesmerized by the tunes Daddy plays.
And then drops a pick into the body of the guitar. Oops.

smooch!

Happy Valentine's Day!

snowball

cranberry

Ah, the dried cranberry.
An excellent alternative to the raisin (yuck).

Sophie likes to eat cranberries. A lot.
She also likes to say cranberry. A lot. Over and over. And over...

Tay-koo, Stomey

Translation:
Thank you, Stoney.

(for the fabulous gift of this unreal toy which I love more than any other toy I have ever seen.

Wait... what's that over there?)

Super Tuesday

Sophie isn't old enough to vote obviously, but her Tuesday is still Super.

Thanks to her newest hand-me-down from her cousins Ryann and Cameron.



Neighing in his ear.


And the dismount...

so much to say

Goodnight, Sweet Prince

Stoney's dog Durham passed away today... He will be sorely missed.

playdate

Okay, so it was more of an "eat-date."
"Stophie" chow down at Stone's new house.
