Pumpkins!!!

We spent a beautiful Sunday at Anderson Farms with our friends Patrick and Liz. To say Sofia adores them is an understatement. The night before we went she made Scott come in her room after I put her to bed just to remind him that we were going to get pumpkins with Patrick and Liz in case we forgot. They are truly awesome and we had so much fun. Sofia made us put this picture up on the computer so she could relive the experience over and over AND over again!

Anytime she wasn't with Patrick and Liz, she spent the whole time pointing at them. Just in case we forgot were they went. 

Sofia posed for a picture on top of her pumpkins ..... yes those are in fact mostly all ours. She got a little carried away upon her arrival at the pumpkin patch and couldn't quite decide on just one. 

Sofia Meets Her Favorite Author!

It is no secret to anyone who knows Sasa that she is a bit of a bookaholic. Her first favorite book when she was all of 6 months old was Knuffle Bunny, Too by Mo Willems. She couldn't get enough of it and still can't. Since then we have added to the list the first Knuffle Bunny, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and Edwina the Dinosaur. She can recite the books by heart from front to back and thanks to Mr. Willems she has therefore begun "reading" or memorizing the words and therefore beginning to now know them by sight when she sees them in other places like food packages, signs, etc.. We were lucky enough to get the opportunity to meet Mo Willems in person and have him sign a copy of the last installment in the Knuffle Bunny trilogy. She was so excited to share it with one her best friends Noah or as she refers to him "happy NoNo" and his mom Holly. When she met Mo she said "thank you for the bunny" and clapped. 

Enjoying the Outdoors with Friends!

We are spending every moment we can enjoying the beautiful autumn weather at all the great playgrounds in our neighborhood. One of Sofia's favorite toddlers is my friend and business partner Sarah's daughter, Ava. They are a lot a like. They talk, read, and enjoy all things artsy. Sofia is always excited to see Ava because she is one of the only toddlers her age who can talk back to her. So this makes Ava the coolest chica ever in Sofia's book! I wonder if they will end up being friends as they grow older.

Ava was laying down on the slide getting some sun on her tummy and Sofia kept pulling her shirt down. I think she thought Ava didn't realize her belly button was exposed for the whole world to see. Sofia doesn't even like to acknowledge she has one. She loves her belly but when it comes to her belly button she thinks its "yuck". No idea where she gets this stuff.
