Mammy

Sophie is trying sooo hard to talk these days. She is mostly done with her screaming phases. She used to scream all day. She'd scream and point if she wanted something. She'd scream if she didn't like something and she'd scream just for the fun if it too. Now she babbles nicely all day. She tries to say words but most of them come out as "DA" or "DAT". On Friday she started calling me "Mammy". She says it in such a cute little voice. The only problem is that when I put her down for a nap, and she doesn't want to sleep, instead of crying, she calls "Mammy, Mammy, Mammy". It almost breaks my heart to have to leave her there and to not go and get her.

Connor's Birthday

It is hard to believe that Connor is four! The time sure flies by quickly. Everyone told me it would when he was a baby but at that time it was hard to believe.
We had a BBQ for Connor an Saturday night. We had a bunch of family and friends over and had a nice evening. The secretary at Patrick's work loves making cakes and after she heard about the pirate ship cake I tried to for Connor's birthday,she had to try her hand at it too. I think it was the biggest birthday cake I have ever seen but it didn't quiet make the 60mi trip from her house to ours. Despite having the hull crack, the cake turned out phenomenally. Everything on it was edible, even the sails which were rice paper.
