Happy 30th Birthday Mara!

Saturday was Mara's birthday, but because of Rosh Hashana we waited until Sunday to have our big celebration. Andy fired up the grill, and friends and family enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs and lots of birthday cake! It was a fun evening and we took lots of pictures, but since mostly everyone is interested in Sophie, those are the pics I've included with this post. You may have noticed that Sophie frequently has her fingers in her mouth. This is partly because that's her personality and she's had her fingers in her mouth since she was in the womb. We also think that she may have started teething. One thing is for sure though - she's been growing! At the doctor yesterday she measured 25 inches and weighed 13 lbs. 9 oz. She is still tall and thin for her age. Lucky girl. Also in the pictures you can see Sophie playing with her new drum set and the balloons from her mommy's party, which have turned out to be the cheapest and most entertaining thing ever!
