Growing Up So Fast!

This is Sophie loving her exersaucer. Playing in the exersaucer is serious business.

Sophie also loves to read books. We lay down beside her to read since she often flails about (I've been punched in the face many times). Sophie likes the cadence of Dr. Seuss; but she also likes board books, especially those with flaps. She enjoys trying to turn (and eat) the pages.

Super Sophie hanging out with Daddy. This activity frequently results in puddles of drool accumulating on the floor.

So happy to be awake after a good night's sleep! Sophie is a morning person. Morning often involves big smiles and loud shrieks of delight.

Sophie is in the stage where she is putting anything and everything in her mouth. Just her thumb won't do; she needs to have at least two fingers in her mouth.

Like I said before, it is exceedingly difficult to get a video of Sophie talking. Since she quiets as soon as she sees the camera I had to hide it from her view (hence the angle of the shot). Sophie has been much more vocal lately. She talks to Mommy & Daddy, herself, and inanimate objects. The books say to respond to her like you're conversing; however, Sophie tends to dominate the conversation.
