Playing with Daddy.


Her froggie blanket is definitely her lovie.

Baby Mum Mum

Sophie's first official word is "mum mum." A Baby Mum Mum is a rice cracker that is kind of shaped like a surfboard. Sophie loves these things. She will pound her hands against the cabinet where we keep the mum mums and say "mum mum" over and over again. If she hears the package open, she will say "mum mum." She has been saying it for a few weeks now. I also think she is trying to say tooth. She touches my teeth and and goes "ta ta."

Reading Material

Sophie is just like her mom. She'll read anything she can get her hands on, including cookbooks.
And magazines. I have a video of her "reading" this magazine. At over 3 minutes, it was too long to post. And she had been turning the pages for a good 5 minutes before I started taping.

Little Beach Bum

One ecstatic little girl. After a long cold spell the weather was finally warm enough to go to the beach.
It was in the high 70s but the water was frigid. Sophie didn't give a flyin' fig. She ran right into the water. Brian and I gave into the cold water before Sophie did.
We're lucky Sophie loves the beach since we live so close to it. She still likes to eat sand by the way.

Toothy

If you look closely you can see Sophie's first tooth. She tends to play with it using her tongue so it can be pretty elusive.

Fun with Books

Here is Sophie giving kisses to the babies in one of her favorite books. She doesn't always kiss the same ones. She spreads the love around.



For some reason a page in this book makes Sophie giggle like crazy. This is one of the milder giggle sessions that erupt for the "These animals have tails" page. I'm not sure if she's laughing about the tails because she associates tails with Ty or she just likes the animals. Whatever it is, she's loving it.

First Steps

Sophie had taken several steps before I could get the camera. For several weeks she was walking pretty well. However, this past week she returned to crawling. Not sure if this is because of her teeth coming in or if she suddenly became more cautious. It's a little sad to see her growing up. She's a full blown toddler now. The temper tantrums give it away.
