This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Skeeters side of the family in Dallas. I was anxious about the flight because the last time we flew Sophia screamed (not cried, but screamed) the entire way and I was still battling flashbacks. Fortunately, she did GREAT and the flight attendants and I got a few giggles at how much she resembles her Daddy.
Nana made a delicious traditional turkey dinner with all the fixings. Over dinner, we had fun chatting with Christy and Sam who had just returned from a three month business trip to Norway.
We made a plate for Sophia, but she did not enjoy the food and she made sure that we were aware of her food preferences with a dramatic array of facial expressions. Dessert was another story - she gobbled up the pumpkin pie!
I enjoyed dressing her up in a cute little outfit, and our little girly-girl had fun strutting her stuff. She even took 2-3 steps by herself!!
The best part of our holiday weekend was getting to spend time with our niece Katherine. She is the sweetest little girl. She loved to be with her Aunt "Maimee," her Uncle "Wow" and her cousin "Fa." Sophia and Katherine weren't quite sure what to think of each other at first, I think because they are not used to sharing the spotlight. But by the end of the weekend, they really seemed to like each other.

They eventually came to the realization that together, they could easily dominate any situation. At dinner, Sophia would start "singing" and Katherine would quickly chime in, creating a deafening noise that put a halt to all adult conversation. The next time these two get together Sophia should be walking, and we can't wait to see what sort of trouble they get into together!!
Sophia also did amazingly well on the flight back home. She made several friends before and during our flight, and we were shocked at how many people waited at the gateway to say goodbye to her, waving "Goodbye, Sophia!" On the way to get our baggage, Will said "Oh my gosh - our daughter is a rock star!"
