When Sophie Was Tiny and Life Was Simpler

Going through old photos and found these gems from when Sophie was just 2.

When Sophie Was Tiny and Life Was Simpler

Look at those tiny pigtails and that serious concentration face - some things never change! She was always my little helper in the kitchen, even when ‘helping’ meant making twice the mess.

Making her own entertainment with measuring cups

I remember this particular morning she decided the measuring cups were her new favorite toys. Spent an hour arranging and rearranging them on the floor while I tried to actually cook something.

Always reaching for something she shouldn’t have

And of course, always reaching for whatever she wasn’t supposed to have - that determined little face when something was just out of reach.

Those little hands holding her sippy cup

But my favorite was snack time when she’d sit so properly in her booster seat, using both hands for that sippy cup like it was the most important job in the world. Now she’s 15 and rolling her eyes at my photo-taking habits, but I’m so glad I captured all these tiny moments. They grow up way too fast.
