Sophia picking more veggies
We planted a few vegetables this spring and are starting to see some vegetables. Sophia is picking cucumbers from our mini-garden on the deck in large flower pots. Sophia has been helping me water the plants everyday so that we would have good vegetables this summer. Today we found a cucumber ready for our salad. It just fell off the plant into my hand as Sophia watched me looking at the plant. It was sweet and crunchy. Sophia loved it.
Tomato picking
Sophia picked a sweet cherry tomato for dinner off of our plant. We had to make a container mini-garden since we live on the golf course and can't really dig up the yard. I know this will produce a lot less vegetables than if they were in the ground but it is better than none.

May 19, 2009 Near the Fountain at the Park waiting for photo shoot
Looking at the pretty fountain
Taking a rest by the fountain.
This picture was right before we went around the other side of the hill and Sophia fell down the huge hill head over heels. I still don't know how I scaled the hill without falling myself and caught her at the bottom right before she hit the ground. I felt like SuperMom because I saved her from hurting herself but it was scary. That was one steep hill.

Here is my little girl in her crazy baseball outfit.
May 19, 2009 Dressed up like a rock star
Here Sophia is getting ready to go have her photos made with a photographer from our playgroup. Unfortunately for me while partying like a rock star, she had just finished trashing the house with all of her toys.

Sophia wanted to wear this outfit for our professional photos this evening. Scott bought her the baseball hat and the baseball jersey for Sophia. She loves them.
May 19, 2009 Water Splash Kids Area at Botanical Gardens
Sophia watched the other kids in the water play area and learned that she could climb up on this and make it splash.
Here she is trying to bounce on it to make it splash, however, I don't think she was heavy enough to make it work.
Found a sprinkler spout and played in the water.
This is fun getting soaked right down to her leather shoes.
May 19, 2009 Feeding the Fish at Botanical Gardens
Sophia is feeding the fish in the Japanese Garden at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
May 19, 2009 Botanical Gardens
Sophia is eating her way through the gardens. The tater tots from Sonic are in every photo because I couldn't convince her without a huge temper tantrum to put them down.
Here are some more photos of the Botanical Garden. Sophia had fun discovering the correct path to get through the maze.
May 19, 2009 Stopping to smell the Peonies - Botanical Gardens
Sophia wanted to smell each and every flower where the large peonies grow on the way to the Japanese Gardens. She sniffed every one.
More Botanical Gardens photos can be seen below in the slide show:

May 12, 2009 Mother's Day - the After Party
"Nana Nana!" is Sophia way of saying banana.
Playing with her hat and showing Great Grandma how to wear her hat.
After a delicious brunch at the Viking, we went to my Grandmother's house to visit and let Sophia play. Here is Sophia's Great Grandma playing hats with Sophia.
Sorry, I am just getting around to posting this photos. I have been so busy lately and really overly tired so my apologies to my readers that I am still catching up from mid May.
