More Showers??!!





Everyone in my Mommy's life is so generous and loving. We can hardly believe how excited they are for my birth. Last week all my aunts threw me a baby shower. It was at Aunt Angie's house--somewhere I'll become very familiar with come the fall (she's watching me). The cake was too cute and had a NON-edible baby butt on it (Mommy and I checked). I got lots of beautiful gifts that will help my Mommy's life be easier after I am born.





Then Aunt Christy (not to be confused with my real Aunt Christie--in Colorado) threw Mommy a shower with all of her friends. It was a fun shower with a cake that Jeni Dootlittle made (11 days after having my friend Sofia Ryan) and a chocolate fountain--talk about YUM.

It's so nice to feel so loved. I can't wait to meet all these people who will become part of my life. In just 4 short weeks, I'll be able to look up at them with my cute little eyes (blue, green, brown?) and know what each of them look like.

Until then,

Anniversary!



While all these fun things have been going on, I've been busy growing, growing, growing. Mommy and I played a fun game the other night. I'd kick her and she'd poke me back. Then I'd kick her and she'd poke me back. It was like our very first game of tag. Mommy was giggling in the middle of the night to herself while Daddy snored away beside her.




Last weekend, my parents celebrated their first anniversary. Can you believe it's already been a year? Good thing, too, because I'm on my way. Well, Mommy and Daddy drove to Weston and spent some time walking the downtown there. It was a perfect day, and Mommy didn't even mind all the walking. Best news is--they bought me something! A really cute bow for my hair. That Daddy of mine; he's a sucker for bows. Me and Mom know that will get him every time. Then they went to Atchison, where they got engaged two years ago. They did some shopping, did a "car tour" of Daddy's old high school, and visited the spot where Daddy asked Mommy to marry her. Then, they went to the show to see "Up" and the get ice cream at Zona Rosa. To finish off the night, they stayed in the exact same suite they had on their wedding night. How romantic.

Shower Me With Love-Work Edition

As I said last post, Mommy and Daddy's coworkers gave them each a shower. Both were so nice. Mommy's shower was the Wednesday before school was out, the 27th. Her teammate Shana did a nice job planning. Pictures might be here one day, but I don't have any right now. Sorry about that. I normally make sure Mommy has her camera with her at all times.


Then, on Monday June 1st, Dadddy's lawyer friends gave him a shower. Mommy got to go to that one, too, because, let's face it, everyone likes to see the belly (that's me!). Everyone was so nice and Sarah did a great job planning. Thanks! Here's a picture of their cake. I sure enjoyed it!
Everyone at Southwood and Legal Aid was so generous and kind. We all really appreciate their thoughtfulness. It means a ton. I can't wait to meet each and every one of them!!
Love,
Sophia
