Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Sophie smiles all the time now!  Can you see her tooth?
We walked everywhere today - this is the square just outside of our hotel.  It is usually all lit up at night and the foot traffic never seems to stop.
One of the many small shops trying to temp you to buy their delicacies - this shop was selling squid, crab, shrimp and something they couldn't translate - we didn't eat here!!
Brad and Sophie outside one of the many McDonald's - there are  McDonald signs lining the street this was taken on.  We didn't eat here either!
We took the girls swimming this afternoon.  Sophie is a true water baby - she got everyone wet!
Sophie's first taste of birthday cake - she loved the whipped cream but wasn't fussy for the cake.
Out for the night!  Sophie is a great sleeper, but an early riser.  She'll fit right in at home.
We had a 'stick around the hotel' day today.  All of the families were trying to keep to the babies schedules as much as possible today.  Sophie ate everything in sight today - even my liguini dinner.  She is smiling and laughing and starting to play with her toys.  She is still quite clingy and loves to be carried around.  When we were out on one of our walks today she started singing to herself as she watched everyone go by.  We are starting to see her true personality now - still shy with strangers but not with anyone in the group.  We had a lovely dinner at the hotel with birthday cake and all!  Tomorrow we will be going on a bus trip to see the city.  Hope everyone is doing well - we are having a terrific time.
Alison, Brad & Sophie xxxooo

Sophie is such a monkey! She'll fit right in with Carson. Kate enjoyed seeing her being carried in her old baby bjorn. Glad to hear that she is adjusting well and eating. Can't wait to see you guys!

I finally figured out how to leave a message!
We have been loving the pictures. The kids giggle and think she is adorable (we do too!). They are so excited! I can only imagine how Carson is feeling looking at the pictures.
Glad everything is going so well and that she seems to be adjusting.
Happy Birthday!
David, Karen, Andrew and Sarah
