Hey everyone. It’s another Happy Birthday day for Sophie Kate. Our baby girl is 11 months old today (Friday, Oct. 3). Wow, one more month and we will be at the one year mark, and what a one year it has been, but I am certainly not going to go into that now.
SK has had a pretty good week. She has had a couple of very smiley days. She used to only share her smiles with us in the morning but now we are getting smiles out of her all the way up until early afternoon and her smiles speak a 1,000 words to my heart.
We have really been enjoying the fall days here. God has blessed us with beautiful weather this week. Fall is definitely my favorite time of the year: the leaves changing, the cooler temperatures, the smell in air and of course football. SK has loved sitting out on our back deck every evening in her swing. She has always loved being outside.
I’m still trying to come out of the funk I have been in for about 3 weeks now. Thanks to our family and friends for getting us out of the house some and having us over to visit, that always lifts our spirits. Thanks to those who have kept SK for me this week, you are very much appreciated.
Specific prayer requests right now include SK staying healthy through the fast approaching “sick season,” gaining better head control, getting stronger through her neck and trunk, and being able to sit up unassissted. We also continue to pray for an overall healing of her brain, brain growth and continued positive gains through her therapy. Thank ya’ll for your faithfulness in praying for our little girl.
It’s been so fun looking (and buying) some of the new fall clothes that are out for SK. Sorry boys but buying jeans, long sleeve t-shirts, and tennis shoes really pales in comparison to dresses with tights OR darling little shirts with leggings OR cute little flared pants AND the shoes, I can’t forget the precious little shoes. Let’s see there’s the white keds, the comfy pink and chocolate brown pair and the sweet little black patent pair (not sure on spelling) that are going to be out of this world cute with her Christmas dresses. So ya’ll all just watch out b/c she will be all decked out and will be coming to a baseball field or football field near you. Bless her heart the only places she goes and can show herself off at are her brothers ball games. We don’t show off our clothes at therapy, that’s where we show off what we can do and we certainly don’t show off ourselves at church b/c that just sounds really bad. So we show off ourselves at brother’s ball games b/c she probably still thinks it’s all about her even on the ball field.
And yes, ya’ll should know her well enough by now to know she already has her Christmas dresses.
Happy Birthday baby girl!
