Sizzling summer days

9 Months Old

It's been a long time and i've been slacking but Sophie is 9 months old. She pretends to be much older trying to stay up later at night, taking a few steps here and there, and eating everything we eat and a lot of it too.

A day in the Capitol

So we really wanted to go to the beach but ended up in DC. How you ask? We decided at 5 am that DC is by far the wiser choice after we have been told we would be crazy to go to the beach on the 4th of July weekend. No traffic and two hours later we hit Lincoln memorial. Had a great picnic followed by more walking and even more walking headed to Georgetown for some delicioussssss lunch. Would have loved to shop here but busy street with stroller and baby does not make for fun shopping. We then headed to the zoo. Great time, saw lots of animals, Sophie loved the big ones as i think they are the only ones she can spot, such as the elephant and zebras and lion. I had a hard time pointing out the others. Scorching heat, and a ton of walking, some minor dehydration but all in all it was a fabulous day. Sophie slept the whole way there and the whole way back while listenin to some Rod Stewart as always.
