Shortly after she was done eating, she was back to cartoons. This is how we roll when we are sick...eat, coffee, cartoons! So happy to see her acting silly and feeling better ;)

Goofy Smile for the Camera!
Sophie was just getting over fevers and was in the heart of a heavy duty cold. The last few days she's lived on Popsicles and apple juice. On this day, Sophie was past her fevers, but still having major cold symptoms. After we took the boys to school, we headed to Starbucks. I knew she would eat an egg, bacon, Gouda sandwich and I desperately needed a coffee! She was the perfect breakfast date ;)
Once we were home, she vegged out out on the couch watching her favorite cartoons~ Dora and Mickey Mouse. Lunchtime came around and this girl was silly! I told her to smile for the camera, and she chose this cute look ;) This is her goofy smile for the camera today!

Does She Love?
Does she love? This question goes thru all adoptive parents minds prior to Gotcha Day. For us, we only had pictures of Sophie NOT smiling. A million thoughts run thru your head as to why she does not show any emotion. Is she not happy? Is she not loved? Is she hungry? Is there something mentally going on that was not disclosed or that we don't know about?
Well, we are approaching 9 month mark of our Gotcha Day. I can tell you first hand, it was super hard to watch Sophie grieve. We poured all of our love into her, hoping she would love back. We got our wish. She loves. She shows love ~ She receives lot of love.

New Friends, New Underwear!
Kami's BFF moved in with them last week while they wait for new house to close. They have a little girl, Adriana, who just turned 2 ( she is about 2 months younger than Sophie ). I wasn't sure how Sophie, Addison and Adriana would get along. Here were 3 girls, all within 7 months in age, all in their 2s. OhMyGoodness!
Well, as it turns out...they have all become great friends! The 3 of them play really well together and share nicely ;) I am so glad the 3 of them have each other, just as Connor, Hayden and Hudson have each other.
On another happy note, Sophie and I went shopping last weekend for big girl underwear! She has been going on the potty at school, and occasionally here before bathtime. She chose Frozen themed underwear ( over Dora and Minnie Mouse ). Although I do not think she is fully ready for potty training~ as her overnight diapers are SOAKED every morning~ we are getting her ready with her new big girl underwear! She really likes wearing them!
That was her excited face in the middle picture LOL! She looks just so cute in her underwear ;)

Just a Chill Night at Home~ Making Tea
Most of our nights after school are crazy! We are busy running to practice or studying and doing other homework. However, this night was chill. We watched some football, hung out and had a tea party...Sophie's favorite thing to do!
After she served daddy his tea, she gave him kisses before returning to her kitchen. So.Darn.Sweet!
After a little while of playing with her tea set on the ottoman, the boys decided maybe they would play tea set, too!
It is SO nice to have nights like these. A slow down kinda night. One without hurrying. Just playing tea party. *Somewhat* quite.
