aspiring skater
Sophie was very excited by the prospect of skateboarding.

Though it will take awhile for her to be as cool as her pals Grace and Bella...

Goosey, Goosey Gander
Goosey Goosey Gander is currently Soph's favorite nursery rhyme. So she was obviously pretty excited to see these guys (who we think are actually swans, but let's not burst her bubble...).

"kitten"
Why does Sophie think Oliver is so fascinating?
True, he's beautiful. He's playful. He's not afraid of dogs. And he has 3 legs. But we're not quite sure why she erupts into laughter when she sees him, pointing and shouting (usually too loudly), "kitten!" or "Ollie!"
We're just glad she loves him as much as we do.

garden, revisited
Another visit to Filoli.
A much different experience with Soph now that she's mobile!

say it isn't so....
Sophie has a new affinity for... gasp! ...RAISINS.
Mommy (for the record, not a raisin fan) is doing her best to keep alternatives at hand.

serenade
As heard from the backseat of the car on our commute home yesterday:
To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle:
"Tinkle, tinkle little starrrrr,
Huh I wonderrrrr uh you arrrrre.
UP A-BUH the uh so high,
Like a diamond in the sky...
Tinkle, Tinkle, e, f, g, h, i, yay, k, menno p
Koo, r, eck, t, u, b, double, eck, y and z.
Martha, Martha, Martha Jane......"
and then it trailed off....
The funniest part was hearing that Martha has a middle name.

Not ore-uh-GONE.
A weekend in Eugene, Oregon filled with visiting family and friends, lots of play with Sophie's cousins, and Daddy running the Eugene Marathon (21st place overall!)
A fun whirlwind.
