Time Travelin' Sophia

Here's the latest batch of daycare pictures - only $75.00 this time! The kid is too stinkin' cute, and Abbey's parenting.com height calculator says she's gonna be 6'3" when she's full grown. Aye caramba.

With Flowers

What a charmer

Angelic

Angels are REAL!

Is this cool?

I hope those aren't Mardi Gras beads...

Tea Time!

Fancy a spot of tea, Guv'nor?

Horsey is hungry

Oh, hai!  I was just gonna give this apple to the horse.

Intriguing Apple...

Maybe I'll eat it myself...

Literacy is overrated.

Why doesn't this book have any pictures?!

Best one.

With a parasol

She can now climb on top of the cab of my truck unaided. I found this out when I was alone with her and I was trying to work on my bike and replace the rear dérailleur tension pulleys. She was playing at her sand and water workstation toy set and I got really involved with the repair for about 5 minutes and didn't look up. I go to check on her, since she's not at the station and "Hi Daddy! I did it!" there she is on top of my truck. Oy vey. Well at least I know she ain't slow.
