Beautiful.She'll be 10 months old in 4 days.. words cannot describe how much I love this girl. I have never had a baby nor could I have imagined having a baby who loves me so much and so completely. My boys love me tons but Sofia is just a momma's girl... she crushes me every day. She wants to just be with me all the time. She sits there from across the room and looks at me with those beautiful eyes and smiles and starts crawling towards me. Whenever she's in my arms she's just content and happy with no ambitions... She only tolerates (and I say tolerates kindly) letting people hold her for only quick moments and just looks at me as if to say, "why?" LOL and pushes to be back in my arms.
I love dancing and singing to her and she loves it. She wakes in the morning and before she even opens her eyes she smiles... She's got such a great personality.. so sweet and lovely and proper. She's is so much more than I could have dreamed of.. just crazy about my love and her Daddy is too :) She loves when he gets home from work.. She looks at him smiling and so excitedly and immediately goes for him.. if he passes by without picking her up immediately she will look at me broken hearted.. she's so sweet. He picks her up and she's so happy and grabs his face. Aww little girls.
Sofia at 9 mos... just a sweetie pie.
Always camera ready :)
Here she is waking up in the morning... immediately smiles.
Then crawls towards me...
Then gets shy...
Love my baby girl.
And love my kids!!! Can't wait to have more :)

Wrote this story last night.
Angel Food Cake
Decisions, decisions, I asked myself, “Should I bake an angel food cake topped with fresh strawberries for desert or spend my time working on genealogy?” There was about an hour until dinner, so I told myself, I should get cooking if I wanted to delight my family with an after dinner treat. I wished I could do both but there was only so much time. Debating, I felt persuaded to do my genealogy. I reasoned a compromise to forgo making the angel food cake and simply have strawberries with ice-cream. My family would never know my dilemma.
In that short hour I was able to get my Aunt Freda and Uncle George’s research done so they were temple ready. I felt a special obligation to help them because they kindly helped raise my mother in law.
The very next day, Monday morning, something simple, but remarkable happened. A relative stopped by my house with Angel Food cake!! He had no clue of my private thoughts the day before. He said that the white fluffy cakes were used in an object lesson in Sunday school to represent Israel’s manna from Heaven. I felt the delivered cake was God’s tender mercies to give my family the very treat I’d hoped for the day before. That night we ate strawberries and Angel Food cake, we thanked God for it. In an intimate way He reminded me of His bounteous blessing. I don’t think it was a coincident, I know it was a consequence of doing the Lords work.
This experience was a simple but a profound testimony of how doing genealogy and temple work is a great benefit to our life’s’. Conversely the scriptures warn in D&C 110:15 we must have “To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, least the whole earth be smitten with a curse.” Paul Referring to the urgency for baptizing the dead says (1 Corinthians 15:30) “why stand we in Jeopardy every hour?” I know my simple cake story was a fun experience for me, but truly I feel a deep conviction of the urgency to do and be about the Lords work on whatever ability we can offer.
