Paw Paw's Visit

Sophie had a great time reading with Paw Paw when he came to visit. She would turn the page when he told her to. We also went to the park and had fun playing on the slide. Sophie liked to walk (with some assistance) and dance.

Sophie & Ty

Sophie has been paying a lot more attention to Ty lately. She shrieks with happiness when she sees him. Though she still grabs his fur a good bit, Sophie is getting better with being gentle when she pets Ty. One day Ty was wagging his tail and Sophie thought it was hilarious. She watched him for a good five minutes, giggling.
Don't worry; Ty is in mid yawn.
Up close and personal.
Making the face I call the "Marlon Brando"
Sophie knows she's a cutie.

Grandma (Maw Maw) Abram's Visit

Sophie loved playing with her Grandma. Here, they are playing with a stuffed raccoon. Sophie laughed and laughed.
Grandma was nice enough to buy a toy for Sophie. Sophie loved the box just as much as she did the toy.
We went to the beach one day. It was a beautiful day, although the tide was the highest we've ever seen here. The water was a bit too cold to dip Sophie's feet in, but she had fun just sitting outside. Sophie loves to be outside. I take Sophie to a park once a week with a mom's group I joined. We usually hang out on a blanket in the backyard during the late afternoon.

We all had a great time with Grandma and can't wait to see her again in November.

The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries

Sophie started crawling backwards a couple of weeks ago. She gets very frustrated because she wants to go forward instead. She can go quite a distance backwards. (Don't worry, we've babyproofed.) Sophie has a habit of licking the floor while she is crawling backwards. It makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. The video is of her blowing raspberries, which she loooves to do, sometimes while she's eating baby food.

Goofy Girl

Sophie has been so much fun lately. She's definitely making up for the hell she put us through when she had colic. As long as she's not super tired, it's pretty easy to make her laugh. Sophie loves the silly faces and sounds we make for her benefit.

Daddy can almost always perk Sophie up when he comes home from work. Sophie can't take her eyes off him.

Sophie's been making silly noises herself lately. These are some quiet noises. I'll post a couple more videos later that demonstrate her loud noises (which are much more frequent).

Sitting Up All By Herself

Yeah, so we're really behind on the blog posts. Sophie has been sitting on her own for a couple of weeks now. It took her awhile because she had wanted to stand instead of sitting. Eventually she gave in.

The following is a series of pictures I thought were pretty funny.


The camera got a little slobbery shortly thereafter.

Long Awaited update

We've been giving her baby food & rice cereal for several weeks now. Thankfully she eats pretty well. We've only had a few occasions where she really fights it. I believe this day was carrots. She's also had peas, green beans and squash. The green beans were the least popular, but she ate them.

She also seems to have taken to the sunglasses we got for her. She doesn't mind wearing them, and looks so stylish.
