Lessons in Motherhood

On Saturday morning, the Hamilton clan visited Southern Belle Farms in McDonough, GA. It was quite a thrill for Hailey who has been studying farms at school. It was quite a thrill for Sophia because there was an endless supply of strawberries. I honestly cannot tell you how many she ate while we were out in the strawberry patch. It was the first time that she ever pointed at something then immediately pointed at herself as if to say “give me that NOW!” How can we resist that? We just kept giving them to her (or she simply grabbed them) until she was totally covered in strawberry goo. When I finally said enough, she through a typical Sophia tantrum complete with head in the dirt. Strawberry goo + dirt = One sticky, happy baby.

The girls not only picked strawberries, but they also pet bunnies, held baby chicks, fed goats, heard a mama cow mooing, and made friends with a friendly little black and white cow. There are tons of good pictures on Flickr, but here are a few of my favorites…

At the beginning of the video, watch Sophia’s hand get snapped by the baby duck. The best part about that scene is that she doesn’t even cry. She thinks about it for half a second and then figures that she’s got more important things to do.
