Nieces & Nephews

So Chris & I volunteered to babysit Sophia last night so Mommy & Daddy could go on a date for Dubby's birthday. The evening was spectacular. We had sooooo much fun.

Jake & Andi left and I immediately started looking for things Sophia could play with (being a non-kid household - this can be a little hard to come by)...but I prevailed and found some

Blue plastic coasters..



a Bouncy Ball...



and Something Shiny....










We took Sophia to visit Kaidyn, one of our nephews. Now Kaidyn looks like a giant next to Sophia, who is off the charts in her height, Sophia is going to be a tall one. Kaidyn loves her. He kept giving her kisses, hugs, shared his cookie crisp cereal with her. He showed her all his toys (although some were off limits, specifically anything Elmo). Then he realized he was sharing our attention and that had to stop. Anytime she was near me, Chris, or his mom & dad he was all over us. He was sitting in our laps, just so she couldn't.

We then went on a shopping expedition to Target. Once again Soph was an angel. She just sat there and ate the cheerios or marshmellows I gave her. She say mmmmmmmmmm every time she put one on her mouth. Target is also where we found her birthday present. Apparently these blocks are one of her favorites, WOO HOO!

Then we took her to Moe's. She loved the black beans. The chicken was okay, but she would choose a bean over the meat everytime.

Finally we took her back to the house & not 5 minutes later mommy & daddy showed up to get her.
