Sophie - 8/17/2015

Sophie ate chex cereal and two servings of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch she ate beef sandwich, tomato soup, and bites of lettuce salad.  I wasn't having much success getting her to drink tomato soup (cup or straw) so the last couple of times I've crumbled up lots of crackers and have been feeding it to her.  It was so cute at lunch - she was taking the spoon and guiding it to her mouth on every bite.  That's the first time she's done that here.

First thing after she arrived this morning I got the comb, water spray, and ponytail holders to fix her hair.  She saw what I was getting and before I even said anything she came charging right over.  Side note - Elliott always comes charging over at the same time too.  He's not satisfied until I spray some water mist into his face.  Then he goes away happy, chuckling to himself.

I asked Cooper if he wanted to read books to Sophie and he was more than willing.  I like how he's looking at her.  Prior to this picture Elliott had been sitting on the yellow bench reading several books.  Sophie went over to join him and he immediately gathered up all of his books and relocated!!  She was looking a little forsaken and that's when I asked Cooper if he wanted to read to her.

Elliott had been on the other side of this blue bench and he and Sophie were both thumping their hands on the bench.  Elliott ran off when I got the camera and wasn't about to cooperate for a photo shoot!  :)  Sophie, on the other hand, was more than willing to do a beautiful smile!!  (And she was still thumping with her hands.)
