Kilts & Hagus, Need I Say More!

Last Saturday we decided to do a family outing to Thanksgiving Point for the Scottish Highland Games and Festival- crazy fun! Men in skirts, bag pipes everywhere, bangers and hagus, women and men tossing anvils and haybauls over a pole what more could you ask for?! :) We really wanted to see the log toss but by the time we arrived it was over but there were plenty of other things to see and do like people watch, thats a great pastime and its free!

Anyway Sophie got a kick listening to the bagpipes it made her hyper! I'd try to take pictures of her and she'd see the camera and start laughing and then pull faces, silly girl. :)




We're currently in the middle of teething, Sophie's bottom front teeth are making head way so not a day goes by without a teether of some sort in her hand. Sophie's a trooper and so far we've only had a couple of difficult days that have left us exhausted, the joys of growing up. :) Cory captured one of those days below- He came home from work one day to find Sophie and I crashed on the couch. I haven't taken pictures of her mouth yet but I will soon.Other big girls news- we're moving on to solids! YEAH! We've mastered rice cereal and this week we've introduced butternut squash- yummy. :) Sophie will be 6 months this friday, its amazing how time flies by! Sophie's already grown up soo much in just the past few months, next thing we'll know she'll be driving and dating- scary thought. We're both really enjoying this stage in life and hope it doesn't go by too fast.

This is the result after Sophie eating like a big girl. Notice she's holding the spoon? She took it from Mami and decided she was going to try and feed herself! After her refusing to let go of the spoon, I had to compromise with her and guide her hand from the bowl to her mouth. Don't try to grow up too fast Sophie!
