Sophie's 9 month pics

Sophie is 9 months old!  She is such a cute and fun little girl.  She has a smile for everyone she meets, and everywhere we go people always comment on how adorable she is.  I have to agree!  She is finally crawling the right way (no more army crawling) and sitting up.  She still doesn't have any teeth and has gone on a food strike lately.  I'm at my wits end trying to find something this girl will eat.  She has said, "ma ma" a few times and said, "ba" for ball today.  She can wave and almost clap, and she pulls up on anything she can find.  She also sucks her thumb.  She sucks her left thumb and rubs her ear with her right hand when she's tired (which you can see below).  One thing I love about Sophie is that she is a dancer.  She has an elephant toy that plays music and every time she turns it on she starts to dance.  Sometimes she dances even when there is no music.  She is such a happy girl, and she makes me and everyone around her happy too. 

Family Pictures

Our friend Nicole took some family pictures for us, and she did a great job! I just love family pictures. Noah and Sophie were very cooperative, so that helped a lot. Here are some of my favorites:

Noah is 3!

Noah had his 3rd birthday on the second. We made a quick trip home to celebrate with Gigi and Papa. He had a dinosaur birthday party there. Then we had a small family party in Amarillo. This party had a power rangers theme.

I can't believe Noah's 3. He is such a smart little boy. He's the best speech therapy student I've ever had! He can even read several words, such as dog, go, mommy, daddy, Sophie, Noah, Ryan, Gigi, Papa, ball, and banana. He loves to dance and sing. He'll bust out dancing when my cell phone rings. He's my little cookie monster. They have free cookies in the office of our apartment complex and about once a day Noah says, "Want to go get a cookie at the office?" He also loves to "fight". He is so excited when Daniel gets home so they can wrestle and fight. Noah also loves the power rangers and transformers. He likes to pretend like he's a power ranger when he fights. My little boy is growing up. I love him so much and am so grateful to have him in my life.

Amarillo By Morning

Well, many of you will be surprised to hear that we have moved to Amarillo, TX. It was a very quick decision, but we are here in the 3rd windiest city in the nation (didn't know that before we moved). Daniel is working as an assoicate for a chiropractor here. He was tired of the stress of owning your own business so decided to work for someone else for a while. So far we like it here. The ward is great with lots of kids Noah's age. He has made friends with several of the little boys here, which has been a huge blessing. We already feel like a part of the ward family and that helps when you're so far away from your own family. So stay tuned for more info. on the next chapter of the Scherer family's life!

Merry Christmas

This Christmas season we rejoice in the birth of our Savior. Let us remember Him as we give and receive gifts on Christmas day. After all, He is the greatest gift we could ever receive. From our family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas!

Sophie's Blessing

Sophie was blessed at church today. It was a very special day. Here are the pictures we got. They're not the best, but they'll do!

Pretty Girl

I just love this dress that Sophie wore to church today. So I had to have a photo shoot. Noah looked pretty handsome too, so when he wakes up from his nap, I'll try and get some pics of him. I think I have such cute kids!

Sweet Sophie

On Monday, August 15, at 9:40 am, we welcomed sweet little Sophie Claire into this world. She weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Here are a few pictures of her first few days.

Look at all that hair!


Happy Birthday Sophie!

We are truly enjoying Sophie. She sleeps a lot, which is nice for her tired mom. Unfortunately, it's mostly during the day, but that's ok. We're so excited to have Sophie in our family!

Happy Mother's Day

So this dress was my mother's day present. I love dresses like this. It's not a maternity dress but it totally works. And hopefully it can be worn after the baby comes too! I hope all of you moms out there had a wonderful mother's day!

Easter

Easter was a lot of fun this year. Noah had a great time looking for his Easter basket that the Easter bunny hid and finding eggs outside. We had to hide eggs about 4 times because he kept wanting to look for them again. Below are some pictures we took after church. I think Noah sure does look snazzy!
