Sophie's 2nd Birthday!

Hi everyone, I'm updating not only twice in one week, but even on the same day as the events of the blog - pretty scary, huh?

So, today we celebrated Sophia's 2nd birthday. Family and friends all came to our house and enjoyed good company and good food, and of course, Sophie's birthday cake...



The theme for the party was the ladybug, which is the symbol for chinese adoption.

Here's Sophie gazing at her cake with her friends Grace, Lexi, and Jayden...



Here's her Grandpa Ziegler and Grandma Orsund feeding her some nummy spaghetti noodels with swedish meatballs...



Sophie's aunt Alli and uncle Brian got her an outdoor climber that also has a slide - I think the is the first time she's been on a silde, and she's already getting enjoying it after a few runs!



Sophie really loves music, and we wanted to foster that, so we got her a cat keyboard - here she's playing it on the newly assembled art / picnic table that she got from her grandma and grandpa Orsund.



You may notice a scratch on her face - this morning while Stacy was getting ready in our bedroom, Puddin (one of the cats) was hiding under the bed, and scratched Sophie when she was trying to play with him.

Stacy noticed it pretty close to right away, but there wasn't any noise to indicate that anything had happened - Sophie didn't make a sound at all.

We put some neosporin on the scratches, and things are already looking better.

Puddin now has only 1 of his 9 lives left.

On a brighter note, Sophie is wearing her arm about an hour a day now, and was even kind of using it to lift some of her presents.

That'll do it for now - hope everyone has a great week!
