9 months and still going!





Hi All!!

Well, Sophie has officially hit the 9 month mark. Wow does time fly!

This past month we were able to visit Grandma Morphet in North
Carolina. Sophie did great in the nearly 11 hour car ride. She had a
blast seeing Grandma; going for walks, her first swing, and lots of big
open spaces to crawl around.

We also squeaked in a trip to visit 94 year old Great Grandma Szarlacki
in Rochester. Great Grandma was thrilled to see us, snatched the baby
to hold her as soon as we got there, and exclaimed "She is so big!".
At around 25 pounds, you betcha!

The most significant of milestones has to be that she is now STANDING.
Yup. Here comes trouble. Let's see how long that crib of hers will
contain her.

She still has 8 teeth, hair still stands up on end, and is still a very
contemplative young lass. She loves books - especially of the touch
and feel variety. It is so much fun to sit with her and read.

Well, that is it for now. Looks like spring has finally sprung here in
Syracuse. Hope everybody enjoys the upcoming good weather.
