Sophia and her "Sweet Daddy" (her words) on the Sky Glider
at the Iowa State Fair. It's hard to tell who's happier.

 

Sophia Grace is a four-year-old stay at home toddler. She loves Hello Kitty, unthawed waffles and any kind of shopping. Fortunately, she also still loves naps -- so does Mommy. She has her Daddy firmly trussed up around her little finger, and we love listening to her baby talk. It's amazing how we have lost our sharp parenting edge with the third child -- it must be the red hair that makes us so dumb.

 

    Sophia hangs on for dear life at our neighborhood carousel.
