TOMORROW I TURN TWO!!!!!

Greetings friends!! Yeah, so tomorrow is my second birthday, and as I was reflecting on the past many months - all I've done, all the new stuff I've learned, how awesome stuff is - I thought I'd bring my subscribers up to date.

But then I was like, "whoa." There's no way I could write a post long enough that could do justice to all that.

So they say a picture is worth a bunch of words, or something, so I'll just toss a bunch of those at you! It'll be cool, really.

So not too long ago, we went to the zoo! It was really my second time, but this time I got to ride the Merry Go Round! I know it looks like I wasn't too sure at first, and to be honest I wasn't. But right away I was all like, you know what? This is awesome!

Mama and Dada's work rented the whole place out, and it was pretty sweet let me tell you. We went into a rainforest where birds were all over, and I was cracking up!

AND I was "good," as Mama and Dada say, so I got a new pair of BAGAS!!!! (Mama and Dada call them sunglasses, but my word is cooler, don't you think?)

This next set of pictures is what an artist would call a variation on a tryptych. Yeah, I've been reading and stuff!! But this is just to give you an idea of how I party lately.

I like to make sure I'm sporting my hoodie, and I get all serious about my sippy, you know?

And then I get all like, "yo, wuddup mama and dada?"

But really, deep down inside I was all like, "you know, this is cool . . . but it's missing something . . . "

And then it hits me.

BAGAS!!!!!!

So not long after we went to this MASSIVE party called Play Day at State Farm Park. There were huge rides, and I went down a massive slide with Dada! There were also games, and I was awesome right off the bat and won a prize!

Guess what I won??

BAGAS!!!!

I went on a pony ride with Dada, who had to walk in the mud, LOL!!!

I got to feed some ducks, which was totally cool.

And then these goats totally rushed me. Not cool, crazy goats!!

From Kickin It With Sophie

So THEN we went on a choo-choo! I'll just tell you up front, there are no BAGAS! in this part of the photo montage. I apologize.

From Kickin It With Sophie

The choo-choo ride took us to a place called Chicago, and it was CRAZY! There were all sorts of people and buildings and cars and noises and smells and sounds . . . whew! We had to chill out, so we sat and had a little bite at some awesome pizza place called Gino's East. I rocked it with some bread sticks and cheese pizza!

THEN we checked out the city. It was spectacular!

There was a BIG bean!

And Dada took a portrait of us.

We went and played in the water too! There were rockin' towers of water that created a cool little play pool!

After our adventure at Millennium Park, we went to a place called The Chicago Diner. Mama and Dada said it was their favorite vegetarian place in all of Chicago. I had pot-stickers and mac and cheeze (it wasn't made with real cheese, how cool is that?) and some of Mama and Dada's food too! It was a total blast, and everyone there thought I was the coolest veggie girl ever! Well, everyone except some crabby patty lady sitting next to me, but you know what lady? Take off, because I was having the time of my life!!

From Kickin It With Sophie

You'd think that would be all a crazy lady like me could handle, but the next day we went to this place where there was nothing but fish! Amazing Rays, Sharks, Clown Fish, Seahorses, and everything! We went to a show called Fantasea at the Shedd. I was a little crazy before the show (of course), but once it started I was all like, whoa!

From Kickin It With Sophie

We saw dolphins, a red-tailed hawk, beluga whales, and even these totally awesome sea lions!

From Kickin It With Sophie

After a good nap, we rounded out our trip with a trip to Navy Pier. We met some of our cool friends there, Mr. Todd and Ms. Sara, and their little cool kids Oliver and Emerson. Since the kids were in charge, we were all like CHOO-CHOO TRAIN!

And then, we were all like FERRIS WHEEL!

From Kickin It With Sophie

And, then we were all like

MERRY

GO

ROUND!!!!!!

From Kickin It With Sophie

Then we decided to push it hardcore. We were all like SPEEDBOAT.

And about mid-way through that trip, well . . . I wasn't so sure this was the best decision.
From Kickin It With Sophie

But you know what? It was an awesome decision, because it was a BLAST. We had dinner after that, more awesome breadsticks, and some yummo stuff called gelatto. And I got to play on the patio with my friends and enjoy this new city.

From Kickin It With Sophie

You know what? I think we'll be back, because it was pretty cool.

Picture post update!

How time flies! It's been far too long readers, so while these pictures are old I wanted to share them with you so you can get a glimpse of how my winter has gone.

Going way back, momma and dadda took me to the Discovery Museum again. I am totally mobile now, so I had a lot more fun this time exploring and playing with the other kids. Here's a few shots from that day:

This is momma and me in a tractor!

Then Christmas came! Man it was awesome. The night before Christmas we went up to grandma and grandpa's house. I got a ton of cool presents and got to party real late!

Then Christmas morning momma and dadda and I stayed home, and guess what? MORE PRESENTS! Whoa, it was totally cool.

Check out all this loot!
From Kickin It With Sophie

I got a sit and spin that plays some kickin' jams too!
From Kickin It With Sophie

Then dadda made homemade waffles for breakfast. I was livin' like a queen!
From Kickin It With Sophie

They totally passed the taste test:

Not long after Christmas we got a bunch of snow! And I learned the word cold and we went outside and played in the stuff!!
From Kickin It With Sophie

Check out crazy Woof Woof; she totally ruined this picture, but it's pretty funny anyway!
From Kickin It With Sophie

It was totally radical, and check out my chompers!
From Kickin It With Sophie

One last picture, only because every time dadda sees this one he starts cracking up and mumbling something about some dudes called the little rascals. I have no idea what he's talking about, but he's a little crazy I think.
From Kickin It With Sophie

Other than all that fun, I've been super busy making friends at daycare, learning new words and animal sounds almost every day, and loving life. I'll be back for another post soon. It's getting nice out, and we've already been having fun outside, going to the zoo, and all sorts of totally awesome stuff! Don't worry, I'll fill you in!

Family Foto Fun!

Hi friends! So, a few weeks ago Mommy and Daddy and I all went downtown. I didn't know what was going on, but we met up with a really sweet friend of Mommy's and she took a bunch of pictures of us all! You know how I love having my picture taken, and Ms. Heidi was AWESOME! She let me run around and be a manaic, so it was totally awesome, and the pictures came out so good! I was surprised they looked as good as they do since Daddy is in some, but that just shows you how cool Heidi is!

You should totally check out her Web site and give her a holler.

Here's a peek at some of the pictures!
