425. Balloons....

I took Sofia out for some pictures this evening. The weather was perfect until 6.30pm except for that is was a little too hot....I did some serious sweating:) Sofia did ok for a little while before we had a big meltdown. The balloon idea is really not mine. I love Jinky Art and I got the idea from her. She's an amazing photographer and I wish I could be her when I grow up...unfortunately that's not going to happen:)

424. Thinking....

423. A quick closeup....

and some messy hair after a long day in daycare.

422. m&m's...

She loves them and will not share.

421. Birthday snaps....

We celebrated Sofia turning 3 on Saturday and we had a small party since everyone was out of town. Sofia had such a fun time and loved every minute of it. I only took a few snaps during her birthday just to capture some highlights of the day.
She managed to blow out all her candles all by her self.
She and her cousin. She looked at how he posed and did the same thing herself. She's a funny little girl:)
Got to open up her presents.
Got some help from some of her guests.
Emme is just really loving our chairs. She's all over them every time she comes to visit. Last time she kept falling down, but this time she was much better.
She kept giving me the serious face.

420. Birthday hat....

Sofia has been asking to get a birthday hat every time we have been in the grocery store this past week....tears has been shed in the grocery store when I said no. I have no idea why she really have wanted one since we have not been to many parties where they have been used. Anyway, since her birthday is on Saturday we are bringing cup cakes and party hats to daycare tomorrow and she got to get one out to play with. She wore it for most of the evening.

She was reading her book and pretending to eat cake and blow out candles as she saw the pictures.

Her she's really modeling the hat for me. She wanted to wear it in the bathtub as well, but I had to say no to that.

419. 4 frames....

Sofia asked if I wanted to take some pictures of her today. She actually asked to sit in her little chair and placed it where she wanted it. Then she let me take 5 pictures and here are 4 of them. Got to love how she changed her facial expression in each of them.
