Whoops!

Sorry for the delay in blogging folks. Sophie has had a great time since the last time. First, she went to New York and was able to experience the joy of Thanksgiving. This involved Mommy inventing a game called "Oh no!" where Sophie and her cousin, Naomi, ran around the living room waiting for Mommy to tackle them or just waiting for one person to fall and scream "Oh No!". This was lots of fun! Sophie also indicated a love of Thanksgiving because of all the cakes present.

Since then, Sophie has also celebrated Channukah. She greatly enjoyed the candles burning and even got her own mini-Menorah. Her favorite part was lighting it each night. She also did not much mind all the presents.

Mommy and Sophie have also engaged in some mild baking lately. This has resulted in Mommy coming up with creative ways to give away cookies. During the time we made Chocolate chip oatmeal raisin cookies, Sophie greatly enjoyed stirring the batter. This weekend, we made sugar cookies and she greatly enjoyed eating the frosting that we used on them and dumping colored sugar everywhere. Her hands were green by the end! Next weekend, Mommy is thinking of trying peanut butter cookies with a hershey's kiss on-top (a co-worker recommended this). I just hope this kisses make it to the cookies! Sophie sure loves chocolate!

This past Friday, Sophie finally got to see Mommy's band play! Mommy was very excited about this, until Daddy got caught in traffic and arrived one song from the end. Lucky for Mommy, Sophie was a great sport and sat very quietly in the audience, in front of Mommy, and played with toys and books very patiently. Everyone was so impressed by how good she was! Then, we went to a small party afterwards where she really liked the house of the host. Every room she entered, she said "wow!". She was even willing to eat plain pizza dough! Maybe next month, we'll manage actual pizza!

Last night Sophie went to a wonderful Channukah party where she ate lots of desserts. She told the hosts that she "had fun at the party. I liked the desserts".

So, Soph's been busy! Unfortunately, Mommy and Daddy briefly lost the camera, so there are not many pictures from this month.
