Far Behind

Since Sophie has started walking around the house with our help, it has been difficult to get photos of her. She is almost constantly on the move. Really the only times she'll sit still for an extended period of time is when she's eating puffs or reading books. She is very affectionate. She loves to give kisses. She will kiss favorite pages in books, her reflection, pictures, stuffed animals, the cat, and Mommy & Daddy. Sophie is friendly with younger babies. She likes to pet them like she pets Ty. But she's a little more reserved with the older kids. She will walk right up to them but she tends to watch what they are doing rather than interact with them. Sophie's still not consistently sleeping through the night. Apparently, a small percentage of post-colic babies are terrible sleepers and nothing can be done about it. I spent $10 and a couple hours of reading a book by a pediatric sleep expert to find that out. She's doing a great job of pulling herself up to stand. I suspect she'll be walking in the next couple months.
