I'm A Material Girl - A comment from Sophia

Mommy was working hard, so I decided to try on her jewelry. I'm wearing at least 5 necklaces at once, but I think they go well together. Of course, I can't really count yet, so that number is a guess. Mommy's got all kinds of goodies in that jewelry box. I played with it for half an hour - a new record. Ah, the joys of being 1 (almost 2) years old.

We've Promised Her A Real Swing

September has brought some exciting changes to our family...before you get the wrong idea, it's a new house. We are moving to the south side of Waukesha, near the studio, where there's a beautiful quiet neighborhood with a park and space for a real swing so Sophia doesn't have to use the Gazelle anymore (see video).

We are moving September 28th (not much time), so we are hard at work packing and preparing. It should be fun. The link to see pictures is at: http://www.shorewest.com/vp/ListingServlet?SITE=SHOREW&ScreenID=LISTING_DETAIL_P&EXCEEDLIMIT=null&totalFound=0&cd_MLS=1205888
(And no, the 70's furniture didn't come with the house -- I know, we were disappointed too. ;)

Teeth Brushing Woes - A comment from Sophia

Mommy insists on this nightly ritual of sticking a plastic spear in my mouth and tickling me with the end of it. She says it's brushing my teeth. If I'm cooperative, she sometimes lets me do it myself. I like to bite and suck on the brush more than acutally move it around, though. Shhh, don't tell Mommy, she's telling me what a good job I'm doing.
