She was a good listener and looked at her toes when she was asked to.
Daddy was there to ensure that I didn't go wild on her hair, haha. She got like a 1/2 inch trimmed off, so you can't even tell, but at least her ends are healthy now...
B-E-A-UTIFUL!
I absolutely love ultrasounds. It's amazing how there is so much detail in something that's still pretty small. We are truly blessed that all his parts are developing as they should. His favorite position was head down, face down, and was moving all around. He didn't want to show us his face, but we finally made him. I told TJ that he's going to be our mover and our shaker, haha!
So I guess we'll keep this outfit! We are going to go shopping for the outfit we'll bring him home in today (tradition started with Sophia). We are all very excited about having a boy and being able to experience both girl and boy, but it is weird thinking about a boy Sophia. Girl is all we know! 
Here's a more serious one. Another funny story happened today. I was talking with a friend and she made me laugh. For the first time I felt my belly bounce up and down. I thought, "That was a weird feeling that I'm not used to," but I didn't say anything. My friend started laughing and told me she saw my stomach going up and down, haha!
When I told my mom that I was pregnant she went out and bought 2 outfits: 1 boy and 1 girl one. So will we need this one?
Or this one?
That is the question...
We got a package deal: hats, pizza, coupons, etc.
The inside...
More swimming...Sophia was in heaven. She thought this little pool was made just for her:)
On this same trip we enjoyed the beauties of Mount Rainier! We hiked and found SNOW at the top!
Mini-Golf
Next adventure: Nate's 1/2 Ironman
And he finished! Awesome Job:)
Kitsap County Fair
Sophia's 2 favorite rides were the cars and airplane!
Uncle Caleb's Apartment
Woodland Park Zoo
Sophia and some of her cousins. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Brown for the fun day and the suckers!
Like a little boy on Christmas! His brother was quite jealous too!
Quite proud!
Here she wanted to show her chart and her "underpanties" off. I didn't know what to call them...underwear? panties? Neither name stuck and I would switch back and forth, so she now calls them her underpanties! Those ones are Hello Kitty and we just bought new fairy ones...how exciting! (I am not a huge fan of character things, but if she wants them on her underpanties, I'm all for it there, haha)
She wanted her prize to be a trip to Chuckie Cheese, so that's what she worked towards. Tonight we took her to celebrate how well she has done. She had a blast and tried new things she has never done before, but still doesn't like "that Chuckie Cheese Guy!" up close and personal. We totaled up her tickets and she got 395 tickets (with mom and dad having some fun too). She picked out a sucker and hammer with her tickets!
We are very impressed at how well and fast she has caught on...She still has accidents if there's a lot of action going on, but with reminders she does awesome!!! Yah! 
TJ and I had the idea of adding another color, so it wasn't eye blinding pink. I love pink and green together!
TA-DA! We are quite proud of ourselves and love how it turned out!
Here she is...BIG GIRL!!! She is using the head/foot board I used when I was a kid (it's even older than that) and we bought her a new mattress. That green is the original green and is coming back. It works perfect in her room.
Proud girl! She has not had any hard transitions from her crib to her bed. Except there was one night when she got out of bed and walked half way down the stairs and fell asleep on the stair landing without us knowing until we went to bed late. It freaked us out! Then at 3:45am she woke up and needed a drink. She yelled for me and we found her downstairs with the lights on trying to get water. Such independence!!! 
We are still slowly decorating her room. This is what I have up so far....more to come!
And here's the other reason we decided to go...Kimberly Ann. We decided together to just give it a go. 
We all road together...Mark (Kim's boyfriend), Kim, Me, and TJ.
We ended up having a good time chatting with old friends. It was nothing too exciting, but we can say we went. I just wish more people were there. I could think of at least 20 more people I would have loved to see!
We have also spent a lot of time at my parents house playing in the sprinkler and floating in their 4ft pool. Sophia loves this sprinkler!
Bring on more sunshine!
These guys were hilarious. They would just stand there and NOT move like it was an assembly line. We were only allowed to feed the animals whole wheat bread. I guess they want their animals to be healthy.
The llamas were a little more bold and stuck their head in a little more. Plus TJ liked to get them in the car. We didn't get a picture of the Elk, but they were the scariest to me because they were so tall and got all up in the car. At the time of the elk I was feeding one and didn't have another piece of bread ready and TJ locked my window so I couldn't get it up!! AHHHHH!!! I was crawling in the middle of the car, squishing Sophia, and practically on TJ's lap. We were laughing so hard. He did that to his mom too, but she didn't think it was as funny, hahahaha!
These deer were cute and would continue to follow the car for bread. This one was TJ's buddy and stayed with him for awhile.
Obviously the bears were fenced in, but you could still feed them. Most of the bears would not even go for the bread if it was not thrown directly into their mouths. I think they were so full or just plain lazy/bored. We got this bear to do a trick and sit up before we gave it the bread. How can animals look so cute, but in reality be so mean?!
The buffalo's tongues are CRAZY LONG! Check that out. TJ liked teasing them to see how long they would stretch their tongue out before giving them the bread!
This is truly the finale...
And if you aren't done laughing yet...here's another one...
After the drive through, we went to the petting zoo. Of course Sophia does not like animals up close and personal...notice there were no pictures of her feeding the animals. She sat in the middle consol between us and through bread out the window or on us if it didn't make it. 
It's always nice to do something fun and new...Good times...
