“Seems like moments ago when I was rocking her to sleep,” he wrote. “Now she’s a beautiful little lady.”

Sophie is the inspiration behind the couple’s foundation, Sophie’s Voice, which aims to raise awareness about Spina Bifida Spina Bifida is a neural birth defect that can cause leg, bladder and bowel damage in infants and children.
