Sawyer and Sophie la Girafe

The other morning after I was finished doing a photoshoot and still had everything out, I thought I might as well snap a few of Sawyer. I also had several requests last night at our ward potluck to see more pics of our handsome little man (he is oh-so-popular at church, being the only baby in a Young Single Adult ward!). So here are a couple. This is Sawyer with his new favorite toy, Sophie la Girafe. She is a rubber girafe who originated in France in the early 1960s. Apparently her success as a baby's first toy, and favorite teething toy, has spilled over to the U.S. as she has been sighted in many a babies mouth - at least in our city. It's amazing how well Sophie fits into little hands and makes her neck, nose, and legs available for slobber-fests. I highly recommend this toy to anyone with a teething baby! You might not guess how much Sawyer enjoys Sophie's company as he is pretty serious-faced here...but...

...here's his signature smile. Yes, Sophie squeaks, too. She is great for getting babies' attention during photoshoots!

SO fun! And though I don't think Collin is teething yet, he definitely slobbers sometimse! Where can you get Sophie? That sounds like a great Santa gift!

She's kinda expensive for a little toy...but well worth it :)
