More fun and excitement

Today we had more fun and excitement in the Wittmayer and Smith household. (Or as everyone else likes to think of it, Sophia's house.) This afternoon Sophia and I went to a lovely party with my friends who work at our branch library. They are not people I get to see a lot but I always enjoy them. They made the most lovely gift for Sophia. Pat painted the picture and Mary

Beth did the calligraphy. It is a very special gift and we'll hang it up in Sophia's room tomorrow. If you can't read what it says, click on the picture, which should take you to an enlargement so you can. The words are worth reading.

I was having such a good time that I forgot to take any pictures of Sophia with everyone. But she sat in the middle of the room and entertained folks the entire time. I think it's her job. If only it brought it more money!

Later in the evening, Grandpa Earl and Grandma Darla stopped in for a brief visit. They had been in Eugene most of the day with Barry and Jess. Sophia is always happy with the attention she gets from her grandparents!

Today Sophia is wearing this pretty new dress that Grandma Nancy bought her. Grandma Nancy takes her grandmotherly shopping duties very seriously and picks very cute clothing! This was the first day in this new dress and it was quite a hit. (The hem was quite nice to chew on for one thing.)

I've seen these very cute baby birth counters on websites and forms a lot and thought it would be a fun thing to add to our blog. Unfortunately, I'm not savvy enough with html to figure out how to keep it up top or someplace permanent, so it's going into this post. At the time I'm putting it in this post it shows that Sophia is 6 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days old, but I believe it will advance every day.
