Pictures-As Promised
As promised, here are some of the pictures from Saturday. I can't remember if we ordered all of the shots I chose off the disc. But you can at least see some of them.
9 Months!!!!
Well Sophie has hit the 9 month mark. She is just growing so quickly and always changing which has kept Brock and I really on our toes. Just when we think we have it down pat another loop gets thrown.
She is over the RSV which Brock and I grateful for. She still has a bit of a runny nose but that we can handle. She has gotten the crawling down very well and has now moved onto cruising. Over the weekend, Brock and I went to go and get her up from a nap and imagine our faces when we walked in and saw her STANDING up in her crib. Oh boy, we're in trouble now! She still has no teeth but her pediatrician is not worried about that at all so neither are we.
Today, Brock and I took her for her 9 month well baby visit and here are the statistics:
She weighed in at a whopping 19 pounds 4 ounces (50th percentile and 7 ounces more then she was when we took her on November 11th) and was 29 3/4 inches tall (97th percentile). So it looks like she might be like her daddy (tall and thin), which isn't always a bad thing! They also tested her hemoglobin levels and she was AWESOME. She didn't even cry when they stuck her finger. Her levels were also awesome. They like them to be between 10 and 14 and her levels were at a 13.7. (Guess this means that we are doing something right). She also got her first dose of the flu shot and goes back the day after Christmas for her second and final dose. After that, she doesn't need to get seen until her 1 year birthday (which amazingly isn't that far away).
They want her on formula till she turns 1 year and then we can mooooove onto whole milk (LOL). We can start giving her mashed up foods (looks like we can maybe try mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving :)) and we've started offering her puffs which she hasn't shown much interest in. But we just keep trying and eventually she'll catch on.
On Saturday we took her over for her 9 month pictures. She wasn't very cooperative this time. While we got some cute ones, they weren't as good as they have been in the past. In fact, for most of them Brock had to stand in as prop where she is stilling on his legs. Although you can't really tell in the pictures that we had to do this, it left little options for us with poses. (I'll post some of them later).

Sickies Part Tre!
Luckily for us there are only three people in this household as I think I've been the third person in this house to have this nasty thing. I've been pretty well wiped out all weekend long. Brock was a sweetie this morning and let me go and take a nap while he cared for Sophie which helped immensely.
The good news is the Sophie is FINALLY starting to feel better. Her fever was gone on Friday morning when we got here up but the cough is still there. This weekend is the most perky that she has been in a really long time. I am so incrediably relieved that she is feeling better. When I talked to Laura last week, her girls were starting to get under the weather. Sarah was running a fever and Rachel had a runny nose and cough. Isaac (her nephew) also was really sick. Poor little ones, I can't believe something that we thought was a simple cold turned out to be so horrible to so many people. Hopefully all the kids will start feeling better soon.

Sickies Part Deux
Yes, we are still fighting bugs at our house and not the ones with legs and stuff. The kind that make you feel icky and such.
Yesterday morning I get a call from Laura that Sophie has just thrown up. :( Brock and I thought she was actually starting to feel better after her visit with the pediatrician on Friday. Well we were definitely wrong. I went and picked her up for the day around noon and brought her home to chill out be home with Mommy. Well that night we were giving her last bottle for the night and suddenly she started vomitting again (yes, all over me, the couch, and even a little bit on Brock). Brock and I were guessing that it was probably close to 3/4 of the 3 ounces that she had drank. We waited a bit and gave her 2 ounces of straight Pedialyte. Within seconds she was sound asleep and slept through the night.
This morning we took her temp again and it was up to 101.6 degrees. Poor little munchkin just can't fight this. So back to the pediatrician we went. This time they did a swab of her nose and turns out that our little one has RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). You can tell she just feels absolutely miserable. She just sleeps all the time.
Needless to say, I stayed home with her today and Brock is staying home with her tomorrow and possibly Thursday depending on how she is feeling. We just keep hoping that she will feel better soon!
Poor little munchkin!

Bunch of Sickies :(
Sorry for the delay in posting. We have had a bunch of sickies at our house this last couple of weeks. Brock came down with a terrible cold at the beginning of last week. It started out as just a sniffle but ended up wiping him out. He took Tuesday and Wednesday off work.
Then on Friday, when we got Sophie up she really wasn't herself. I took her temp and it was pretty well normal. So we chalked it up to her teething so we dropped her off at Laura's for the day. By 9:00 a.m. she was running a fever and we pretty well knew that she had probably gotten daddy's cold. We took her to her peditrician and when they took her temp there it was 101.6 rectally (or 100.6 if we had taken it orally). Her peditrician confirmed she had a terrible cold so we pretty much have been laying low this weekend and letting her rest as much as possible. This morning she looks much better then she has been. Her little nose is still covered with the oogie boogies but she seemed alot better then she had all weekend.
We also have enjoyed Sophie's first Halloween. It was such a cool night. We woke up in the morning and all headed over to Mommy's work (Daddy had the whole day off but Mommy had to work in the morning) to see Mommy's co-workers and show off Sophie's costume. Then Daddy headed over to South to see his co-workers. After Mommy got of work, we headed home and got a few things done prior to heading to Danville to "trick or treat"
And now for the exciting news of our family....
Sophie has started crawling. She doesn't do it consistently but she has started which is just so exciting for us. Below is a short clip we were able to catch of her crawling.

The OMG moment of the day!
So Brock and I got a copy of the police report from the incident yesterday and the lady actually told the cop that the reason she didn't report it to security or the police is because she "didn't know that she had to".
This my friends would be a moment that as Bill Engvall would say...HERE'S YOUR SIGN!
But for now, Brock and I are fortunate enough to get to deal with her insure anyone type insurance company!

Just another MANIC Monday
Today was definitely a day that was just not meant to be good.
I started out this morning as normal, woke up, got dressed, dropped Sophie off at day care, drove to work, parked my car and went up to work. No sooner had I sad down and really started my fun filled day as I get a call from the security at work! I'm thinking okay, I know I didn't park in the 2 hour lot. I parked within the lines, what could they possibly want. Well...they informed me that they had just received a report that someone had hit my car in the parking lot and left the scene of the accident(and it wasn't the red rocket that was hit, of course it had to be the better of our two vehicles)! FORTUNATELY, someone had seen it happen, saw her drive away and got down her license plate number and went to security. I had them call the police department and spent most of my morning out with security and the police. They ran the plate, got the person's information, took my information and pictures of my damage. The cop was awesome! Told me that if the person didn't call in the time that they were there that they would be towing the car (if they found it) and that they would have to pay $260 for the tow and $85 per day for impound fees. I was completely hoping that they wouldn't call but they did! They fessed up to the whole thing and the police gave her two citations. After getting her information (noting that she lived out of state but worked for the same company in the same town), I emailed her and asked her for her insurance information so that I can get my car repaired. And believe it or not the lady had her husband try and convince Brock and I to get our vehicle fixed without going through insurance. I'm thinking to myself! What the heck are these people thinking! Hello, you just hit my car, moved your car to another part of the lot, and the only reason I even have your information is because a good Samaritan took down your infomation and reported it and you now want Brock and I to trust you to pay for the repairs in full. Hmmm let us think about this for say 2 seconds! NO! Brock and I called their insurance and made the report. We get a estimate done for their insurance company tomorrow (although we may go through our own repair shop) they require that we get a estimate through one of their vendors. Below are pictures of the damage to the car :(.

This all added to the normal craziness of work! What a whirlwind for both Brock and I. Hopefully this insurance company does well and this all behind us before we know it!
On a good note! Sophie is still growing like a little weed! She turned 8 months old on October 18th and just make leaps and bounds! She is so fun to spend time with. Even after a bad day (such as above), to come home to her smiling face and giggles truly makes it all seem better! For those who may not have known. She has started to do a bit of an army crawl. Brock and I are in alot of trouble. We no longer can lay her down for a bit to run to the other room and expect her to be there. Enjoy a short video of Sophie making a big move!
This week we will celebrate Sophie's first halloween! While we don't have much planned, we'll be sure to take lots of pictures! Won't be long now and it will be Christmas!
