I can't believe how time goes by so fast. Sophie turned ONE on May 19th. I'm sorry that it has taken so long to do a blog....it is hard to find time to sit down and do it when I'm chasing a little body all over the place. Sophie is definitely a "busy body". She has mastered going up and down the stairs, but of course only when mom is around supervising. She loves her stuffed "bear" literally by holding it up to the side of her neck and making an "ohhhhhhh" sound. (that's my favorite!) She is certainly becoming our little chatterbox. Word come out and with some translation we might get it like "duct" is duck, "butt...n" is button, "uice" is juice, "baf" is bath. She always tries to mimic our words and it usually starts with a "b" sound. She LOVES her books and can spend a long time turning pages and is getting even better with her fine motor control (there's the PT in me) She is cruising around, can stand a few seconds and tries to all sorts of acrobatics on her changing table. She isn't quite walking yet but it is just a matter of time. We had a small get together for a B-day party on the Saturday before her birthday (it was on a tues). She loved eating cake, and she really liked her balloons and the presents she got. I posted a few pics. The best present though is for me to start weaning her. She has gotten pretty proficient at drinking from a straw and I tried whole milk with her and she like everything else I giver her just ate/drank it without even a flinch. I should metion that we haven't gone to the MD yet...that is Friday. I'll let you know what happens. Enjoy the pics!! Forgive me if anything doesn't make sense, I don't have a brain anymore!!
Sophie goes out to our patio and plays with the rocks. She likes to put them in the cup and is pretty pleased with herself when she does. Oh I should mention she like to taste them before she puts them in the cup. What's new!!
These were taken on May 19th in the AM (her birthday). She always is happy in the morning and loves to hang out by "her" window.
Sophie on the swing on her B-day. We went up to the park near Grandma's. She likes to swing and go down the slide. The following pics are her at her B-day party.
