Cute Pictures of Sophie

Here's some new pictures of Sophie after bath time, in a furry coat that's way too big, and sitting and talking to her daddy, which she does everyday because she loves to tell him what's happening in her little life.

Sophie just hanging out in her little ducky towel after her bath, so cute!

Sitting on her Daddy telling him all about her day. She really talks to him...and uses her hands; she's so animated, it's just adorable to watch!
This one I just had to add because it makes me laugh so hard. My dad says she looks like a giant marshmallow and tanner thinks that Sophie's just thinking to herself, "Why the heck would my mommy put me in this thing, it's so humiliating, I don't understand." Even though it's atroucious (I hope that's how you spell it), she still looks cute haha!

Brittany Bartosiewicz Photography

Alright, so my sister Brittany is an aspiring photographer. She doesn't know if she necessarily wants to do fashion photography or something along the lines of National Geographic. However, we've always wanted to do a photoshoot together since she's developed her talent last fall. I know when you look at these photos you'll probably think they're really weird but oh well haha. We were going for the look of like a Victorian Vogue Bride. To get me to look like this we blow dried my hair really big, brushed it out and then teezed it all over (Yes, I know my hair is larger then life). Then Brit did my make up and we found this dress at D.I. We both saw it at the same time and fell in love with it! Originally, it was $75 but the clerk let us have it for $35! It's all lace so we thought that was a super good deal! Anyway, I just wanted to show off my sisters talent and let everyone know that I'm so proud of her and love her so much! She's my best friend! So, enjoy some of the best pictures of our photoshoot!

Family is Awesome!

I love my sisters. I'm so glad I have them both in my life. Sophie and I were able to hang out with my family for the weekend up in Fruit Heights, while Tanner went up to Stanrod and worked for his dad. I love my fam, they're awesome! Anyway, this is us at Corbin's for dessert...oh my goodness I just have four words "molten chocolate lava cake" DELICIOUS! If you ever go, you'll have to try it. We just saw 17 Again with Zac Efron and Matthew Perry. So cute and funny! I must admit I cried a little...I'm very emotional lately. I think it's from all the excess hormones I still have. Anyway, these pics are just of me and brit..the rest of the fam didn't make it to the blog, sadly.

Best Friends Forever!

Brit started to do this pose a lot when she was over in Italy last fall so we just decided to show how good we both could together doing her "signature" pose.

Crazy-creeped out face.

Brit's Chinese peace pose. (Oh at least Car made it into a picture)

Sophie Growling like a Bear

Sophie is so funny and smart! When she and I were in St. George with my parents last week my dad asked her what a bear said and she responded perfectly. When I got home and told Tanner what she did we tried it again together, filmed it, and this is what happend. Remember she's just a little over two months old.

Sophie's Blessing Day

We went up to Tanner's old ward in Almo, ID this weekend for Sophie's blessing and had such an amazing time. It was so wonderful to have all of our families who could attend be there with us for the special day. I'm so grateful for Tanner. I'm grateful that he is a worthy preisthood holder and had the opportunity to bless our baby. I love him so much! I wanted to express how grateful I am to be a mother. I know that it truly is my divine calling and I'm so happy to have that knowledge. I love my little girl and am so happy that she is with me and Tanner. I look forward to the years I'll be able to watch her grow. She is such an amazing baby, never cries unless she really needs to, i.e. because she's hungry, or lonely, or has a dirty diaper. Other then that, she's bright eyed all of the time and smiles to everyone she comes across. She has the cutest personality. Here's some pictures from her special day. My sister Brittany took these photos...there's more to come when I can get them from her.

Daddy and baby together...they love each other so much!

Cakes I made for Easter..Sophie's name got squished! They still tasted good though! (Her cake is supposed to be an Easter egg if you couldn't tell haha).

My gorgeous baby in her blessing dress. You can't really see the detail on her dress but it was absolutely beautiful! Thanks mom for letting me borrow it!

Mimi, GP, Sophie and I on her big day.

This was Sophie taking a bath before we went to the church...I just had to put it up because she just looks so amazing! She has perfect eye contact and lushish (sp) lips!

We finally captured one of her big toothless smiles! She is such a happy baby!

Proud parents of such an amazing little girl.

We just love our little Sophie!

Happy little family.

Sophie's Nap Time

So this is what Sophie looks like when I put her down for her nap time...all tucked up nicely in her blankey and looks as peaceful as can be.

And this is what Sophie looks like after I come back in to check on her like two minutes later! I don't know why but she always kicks the blanket off her feet. I think she might have restless leg syndrome? :).

A night out with friends and family

Me and my dad's classic kissy face.

My mommy and I...it's funny how we don't really look alike at all.

I seriously think I could be classified as one of the Cullen vampires.

Us girls eating at delicious Corbin's, so yummy!

The gang at Shelley's bridal shower...it's amazing how much things have changed in the past two years since we've been apart. Love you guys!

Sophie's Two Month Checkup

Sophie had her two month checkup today and she is as healthy as baby horse! :) She now weighs 11.5 pounds, head circumference is 39 centimeters, and length is around 23 inches or so. She is averaging somewhere around the 75th percentile, so we're happy! I thought going in to her doctor appointment she would at least weigh somewhere around 14 pounds...I was way off! She's getting harder to carry in her little carseat...it gives me a workout! I just wanted to let everyone know she is doing great, getting cuter everyday, and is so alert all of the time. I truly think she understands what we say to her because she reacts to us either by smiling or making funny faces. We just love her!
