Catching up

Miscellaneous pictures:

All ready for church.

My sister and her family came to visit and met Sophia for the first time. This is my niece Katelynn holding her.

A few weeks ago, we went to Worland to visit Rich's aunt and uncle. It was a really fun time (as always)! I'm sad that my camera battery died before I was able to take a picture with the 4 babies that were there, but this is the one I got. This is Hailey, Sophia, and Brooklyn. Lucy was also there, and sadly I don't have a picture with her. :(

We blessed Sophia on July 31st. This picture was taken on the day she was blessed. This is my Grandpa Yates, my mom, Sophie and me. I was so happy my grandpa happened to be in town from Los Angeles that weekend. I love that guy!

Sophia is getting so curious! She loves looking around and has such a strong little neck! She holds her head up as high as she can, and lifts her feet up too, and then she just tips over onto her back. It always seems to surprise her that she rolled over so I don't think she does it on purpose.

Rich's parents came home for a few weeks from their mission in Russia due to some health issues his dad had. It was so great to see them! We didn't think they'd get to see Sophia until she was a few years old. His dad is fine, he just needs to be on blood thinners from now on and now they are back in Russia.

Here is my cute mama and her puppy with Sophia. What a cute picture!

Sleeping

Sophia finally slept through the night and in her own bed!!! I cannot express how excited I am about this! I kept waking up that first night, thinking, "I hope she's OK!" so i still didn't sleep too well, but hey, it's a start! This came at just the right time too, because I was getting a little frustrated. She would only sleep when I held her or when she was right next to me in bed. This is a milestone! She's gone 3 nights in a row so far... fingers crossed that it lasts!



She was so happy in the morning. I could tell she was pleased with herself. :)

Bath Time

This was Sophia's first bath. When I put her in the water, her facial expressions were the best... her eyes got all wide and she looked a little frantic, but she didn't cry. She gets the same look every time she baths now... even though she has had plenty of them!

My favorite is when I get her out of the water and wrap her up in a big towel. She's just so dang cute!
