Super Girl!!!

Today, Sophie went on her first Halloween hay ride at Smolak Farms. She went with her friend, Lauren, and her boyfriend, Evan. She also got to meet one of Evan's friends, Tanya. Sophie also got see a llama, an alpaca, some goats and sheep, and a Zebu at the farm's petting zoo. She had a lot of fun, but it was so cold, she couldn't show anyone her cute Costume. Lucky for her, Mommy and Daddy decided to photograph her in it at home.

Apples and geeks

Today we went apple picking at the Tougas Family Farm in Northboro, MA. It was a lot of fun, we got the giggles when daddy put us on the swing. I tried some apple, and I liked it. I ate a small piece all by myself. I saw lots of goats, and they did things.

Afterwards we went to WPI, which is the place where daddy learned how to do the thing that makes him leave me every day! I saw a goat, but it didn't say or do anything. I think it's the mascot or something.

Uncle Skippy

Uncle Skippy and Aunt Jen came by today, it was very exciting. I like Skippy because he has a goatee and is tall. However, I don't like the camera. The flash bothers me!

new house!

All our stuff arrived Thursday night. We are spending all our time unpacking. We had our 1st day of day care today too. we were mostly ambivalent about it.

Check our month 7 album for a few messy house pics.

Here's our first bath in the new house:

Happy half birthday!

Today we had our 6 month appointment. We were ok until vaccination time at which point we cried a ton. We currently weigh 18 lb even, and are 26.25 inches long, putting us in the 90th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for height. Our head circumference is 44.5 centimeters, which puts her in the 9oth percentile for her noggin.

Oh, we later made a repeat visit to the doctor after a face-first tumble to the floor. Sophie was fine but Mommy was a wreck.

Making friends

Sophie went to play with her new friends, Lauren and Evan Aliberti. She even got a kiss or two from Evan! Oh boy are they both going to be embarrassed when they are older!

Fun in Boston

We had a good time in Boston this weekend. We walked up and down Memorial Drive on Sunday while it was closed down to traffic, and we just stared at the trees and leaves. Then on Monday we went to the Stone Zoo north of Boston, and slept through almost all of it, but that's okay. I thought I saw my grandpa there, but it turned out to just be a sloth.
