they grow up so fast

this fine morning around 6:35 (the time has no significance, i just thought you should all know how early my kids like to be awake at my expense) sofi was blissfully polishing off her first yogurt of the day when the cat walked in.  this, of course, is an everyday occurence and nothing to shake a stick at, (what does that mean anyway?) but it seemed to have illicited an unprecedented response from the little lady.  something that sounded a lot like kitty...and along with uh-oh, mama, and what grandpa firmly believes to be his name, her vocabulary is rounded out.  aka she's a genius.  just thought you might all want to know, so that one day, when she receives the nobel prize, you won't be surprised.  you're welcome in advance. 

do they really go from THIS to THIS in a matter of a year?  ps those are stickers that happen to adorn her hair and body.  luke so lovingly decorated her after receiving them in sunbeams.  oh, the love.

She is so cute! we have those PJs too! Do they have a monkey on them? Love the stickers! Nice touch, Luke.

I can't believe she is talking like that already! It must be the Thomas in her... And I'm with ya on the early risers--unfortunately, THAT must come from the dairy farmer too!

Wow! I've heard that girls usually start talking early...that is pretty impressive. She is such a cute little gal...and that cake you made her for her birthday is adorable! PS: that dress of mine that you like is from Charlotte Russe -- do they have those where you are? In the summer they have tons of strapless, ankle-length dresses for really cheap. Then you just have to find a shrug to go over it and voila! you get my sunday wardrobe for most of the year.

I always knew she was a genius! Can't wait to see the big one-year old!

Seriously - time is going by too fast...i'm about to pop (well, not quite yet...but ya know) and sofi...oh my goodness. We need to see the adorable sutton family this month - in P-Town. We talked to the fam last night about taking Lance for the weekend sometime later this month...hope you're ready for a Payette invasion.
