One Year Ago Today

Celebrating the birth of our beautiful baby girl one year ago today! I took these today.

Thanksgiving 2008

We went over the river (Potomac) and through the woods to Granda Karen's for thanksgiving. Here are a few highlights.















Opening an early birthday gift from Grandma!








It's a top!

First Steps!

We're celebrating some important steps around here. Here is Sofia celebrating after her candidate, Barack Obama, won on Nov. 4. Notice her pride after participating in the process!

Today Sofia took her first couple of steps by herself without holding on to anyone or anything! Big first steps for the country and in our house!!

Halloween on East Capitol St.

The Great Pumpkin!

Maybe by Friday she'll feel comfortable enough in the outfit to smile!

A visit from Aunt Mary

Aunt Mary is here visiting. Here she is with her friend Kim, who also is visiting DC (if not Sofia).

A visit from Grandma Karen

Grandma Karen was in town for one night, and she got to spend some quality time playing with Sofia. They read books.

They looked at pictures on Grandma's camera.

And just generally goofed around!
