Sophie’s one
[tags]sophie,birthday,zoo[/tags] Sophie's one today. We regaled her this morning with "Happy Birthday!" as she sat up in bed and smiled like a scamp. She was amiable at breakfast, too, a big surprise to me because she gets fussy at the sight of solids these days (to get her to eat, Luna and I have resorted to singing and cavorting; believe me, neither of us can hold a tune).
[fa:p:id=166537288,j=l,s=s,l=p] She's in love with a cracker, a big, flat, rectangular thing studded with sesame seeds, fennel seeds and parmesan cheese. Sophie nibbled one with me, in bed, as we watched Mexico trounce the Iranian team 3--1 at the World Cup. Afterwards I carefully gathered cracker crumbs from the comforter. Sophie snuggled up to me and drifted off to sleep. (She's still sleeping, flat on her back in a powder blue two-piece, lavender socks, and a noup-noup in her mouth.)
After lunch we're taking Sophie to the Zoo. Mom'll join us. I can't recall the last time I visited the Zoo, but having a kid means getting to re-live it. But it'll be much better. Everything's better shared with your daughter!
