Sophie's First Big Trip

As many of you know, Sophie and I took our first big trip together last week. We flew (without Daddy, who had to work) to California for Ericka's wedding and to visit my family. My mom had been the only one in my family to have met little Sophie, so needless to say, everyone was very excited. We started out with a very long plane trip that included two flights and a three-hour layover in Dallas. Sophie did great on all of the flights--she fell asleep as we took off and woke up only to eat a couple of times. I did use the help of a little Pediacare to assist her in falling asleep! Here's a picture of her in the Dallas airport--happy as can be!


On Thursday, we took Sophie to the mall to have her pictures done professionally. Our sweet little girl turned into a monster when we laid her on the platform! It took us about 4 hours to get 3 decent pictures. Here's one of the pictures that we didn't get printed. (We did end up getting a couple of smiles out of her, but we didn't get to change her clothes like I had wanted to.)

On Friday, my family and some of my parents' friends stopped by to visit. Here are some family pictures (more to come tomorrow). These are the group pics.

This one is a five-generation picture with Sophie, myself, my mom, my maternal grandma and my great grandma!


Here's a four-generation picture with Sophie, myself, my dad, and my paternal grandpa.

And finally, one of Sophie, myself and my parents:

I'll write more about our trip tomorrow since this is already a long post...
