Our Little Big Eater!

Hey everyone,

It has been a little while since we last wrote. As usual, things have been busy! Brent started work a couple of weeks ago (in mid July, to be exact). He is getting settled in with his job which will be taking him to Florida and Charlotte in the next month. I started part-time work doing marketing for CET and am really enjoying it. We are getting settled into our new home in Baltimore. It is super nice living just a couple of blocks from the harbor. Sometimes, when I am taking walks by the water, I feel like I am away on vacation! We are just now beginning to meet people in our area and are looking forward to developing friendships here. I have joined a group called Stroller Strides as well as a weekly playgroup in our neighborhood. I have found that to be a good way to meet people. Finally, Sophia is doing GREAT and she is truly a joy to be around. She is one of the happiest babies we have seen, we think! She loves when we talk and sing to her. Among her favorite songs and rhymes which she clearly recognizes are "Hoky Poky" and "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" and "Hickory Dickory Dock." Keep those in your memory bank in case you see Sophia soon... when she is upset (which is not often), they almost always calm her down! The big news with Sophia as of lately is that she has started eating rice cereal!!!!! It is the cutest thing! She gets it all over her face and tries to get her hands in it. She cannot wait for more!

We will write again soon and love and miss you.
