The guys watching the Buffalo Bills game.
Maddy is such a sweetheart. She was just chilling on the floor while the guys watched the game.
Sarah was playing a game with Maddy and Sophie thought it was too funny. 
Sophie was in heaven with these stairs. She doesn't get much opportunity to practice getting up stairs in FL so this was a special treat for her.
We recently went up North to help my sister & brother-in-law move into their new home. Ben loved Brian right away (it had been a couple years since they last saw each other). Maddy is in the stranger anxiety stage, so it took a little time for her to warm up to us. She wanted us around as long as we didn't try to pick her up!
Maddy was very interested in Sophie.
All 3 of the kids loved crawling through this tunnel. This picture is a little blurry but Maddy has such a sweet smile that I had to post it!
The 3 of them also loved to play in the sunroom together; especially, with "Double Ernies." Before Sophie met her cousins for the first time this summer, I showed her videos that Sarah had posted of the kids. There was one were Maddy was playing with an Ernie doll. Sophie thought it was so cool that she grabbed an Ernie doll out of a bin at a toy store. It is now one of Sophie's favorite dolls. She usually carries it around with a stuffed owl (Sophie likes to pair things of similar size or color). Well, she found Maddy's Ernie doll and Owl was quickly tossed aside.
Sophie loves to dance in front of the mirrored closet doors.
She has never used pacifiers, but she found some and decided to play with them in front of the mirror. Sophie thinks they're hysterical.
Sophie started climbing recently. Now she can climb onto low chairs.
Not thrilled about coming back inside, and also wanting the onion on the counter.
3 seconds to meltdown!
Sophie decided to play in the rain one day with Daddy. Combine water with the outdoors and you get one ecstatic toddler.
Sophie has been cyber-stalking Maru, the cat, on youtube. Maru likes to jump in boxes. I think Maru inspired Sophie to start stomping and sitting in boxes.
Ty joined Sophie for a bath. Fortunately, neither one of them pooped in the tub... this time.
Desperate to get to that waterfall in the middle of Chocolate World.
Staring at her beautiful cousin, Maddy. This is not unusual. Sophie stares at most people who are unfamiliar to her.
Sophie had a lot of fun playing with her cousins, Ben and Maddy (well, at least playing near them.) She's not quite at the age where she's playing with other kids.
The mooch (one of our nicknames for Sophie). Pap was talking while holding a quesadilla in his hand & Sophie tried to take a bit out of it. Once Pap realized what was going on, he was kind enough to share. The quickest way to Sophie's heart is through her tummy (must get that from her daddy!).
Sophie loves to play with rocks!
Maw Maw put some balls in this cooler for Sophie to play with. She decided to carry the whole thing around instead.
