Sophia's 2nd Birthday!

A birthday trip to the pediatrician since we were all sick. At least we all were better by Sophia's party on Sunday.

yummy blueberry pancakes after we got back from our first trip to the doctor (Mom & Dad saw our dr in the morning and Sophia went to the pediatrician in the afternoon). We all had a cold but at least Dad took the day off of work (to get an antibiotic from the dr) and Sophia thought having Dad home was a great present!

Sophia had been looking forward to her monkey cake from the moment that Auntie Christine asked what kind of cake she wanted. Auntie Christine worked very hard perfecting her monkey design and the cake came out beautifully! Sophia was thrilled, and it tasted great too!
Sophia, Delia & Chase were very patient waiting for the cake.


Sophia talked about eating her monkey birthday cake at her little table with Delia & Chase for the whole week leading up to her party. The fun seemed to live up to her expectations!
Sophia was thrilled to get her own tools from Uncle Michael so that she can help Dad with projects around the house

Sophia trying out her new baby cradle/bath/changing table with her doll, "baby Abby." As soon as she got it, Sophia got right to work giving her baby a bath, changing her diaper, powdering her bum, and stocking the cabinet. When Axel brought the table up to her room, he put her monkey costume in it, which is what Sophia was looking for after she had finished the baby's bath.
