Visits with Family and Friends

This weekend we spent running to Portland and back each day to attend various picnics. Saturday was the annual Wittmayer "Cousin's picnic" where we see my father's cousins and their families. We had a good time but Sophia was tired and a bit grumpy. Most of the time we handed her to other people she started crying, so we held her ourselves most of the day. This left us looking like baby hogs, but better that than a crying baby. I've included a picture of her crying at my father. She did have fun, as usual, playing with cousins Roya and Layla, but I think the boisterous Wittmayers rather overwhelmed her.







Last night we finally had our first real success with food from a spoon. Sophia ate all her green beans and seemed to like them! Of course, since they're green, they made both her and I quite a mess, but that is less important than the success with the food.






Today we went to a picnic hosted by our adoption agency. It was a fun reunion with all the workers from their agency who helped us along the process. Of course, it's always good to show off Sophia. There was food, and Sophia tried to steal Paul's chips. I think she'll enjoy the clowns, face-painting and petting zoo more next year than this year, but it was good to go.
