Another trip to the ER

No, Sophie wasn't in a boxing match. She fell from the bed and met with the corner of a table on the way down. Or at least that's what I think happened. I was sitting right there, but one minute she was jumping on the bed and the next minute she was in a heap on the floor. To her credit, she only cried for about a minute despite the fact that I was freaking out over all the blood pouring out of her lip. It was a pretty deep gash, so we decided it best to take her to the ER to make sure it didn't need stitches. Fortunately they just glued it. Far less traumatic than stitches, but still not fun to hold your sweet baby down while someone dumps glue into her cut. As you can see, she has a fat lip that rivals any I've seen. She doesn't seem too bothered by it though, other than the fact that she can't use her pacifier. Tonight may be a long night!

Halloween 2008

Halloween this year was a lot of fun. We took Sophie to a neighborhood in town where some of our friends live to trick-or-treat. As soon as we went to the first door and Sophie realized that she got candy as a reward for simply standing there, she couldn't get to the next house fast enough. At one point during the night when a woman put a piece of candy in her bag, she looked and her and said "more!". Needless to say, she was very into the whole trick-or-treat experience. It's a little hard to tell in the pictures exactly what her costume is, but she went as a puppy dog. Her friends Kate, Parker, Rebecca and Grant were with us and they all had a blast.

here's the gang minus Grant, who was a banana :-)

Sophie and Kate from behind...so cute!

here they are again...at the end of the night. Notice Sophie's big yawn. :-)

and finally, I just had to put her halloween pic. from last year for comparison :-)
