8 months, 8 teeth






So Spring is finally here!

Much like the tulips and daffodils - Sophie is just growing and growing and growing.

She started doing pushups a few weeks ago - even a few one handed ones! This led to her next fateful milestone; Sophie is officially crawling forward, and like a champ. Her pincer grip (between thumb and forefinger) is another achievement this month- which helps her put those yummy Cheerios (although the organic variety) in her mouth! She enjoys clapping her hands, occasionally waving like the queen, and blinking both eyes after Mommy does.

She is sitting up on her own - which helps her play by herself a lot more. She is beginning to get bored with her toys - so out comes the tupperware and wooden spoons!

And yes - 8 teeth! Still eating like a sumo wrestler, I might add.

She enjoys spending time with her family - she loves to see all her cousins. She gives them lots of smiles and enjoys playing with them more than anyone else. I have attached a picture of a few of her terrific cousins from our Easter visit to Grandma Boulware's house.

We will be visiting Grandma Morphet in NC this week - what a fun car ride this should be! 2 tired parents, 1 protective dog, an 8 month old baby and 11 hours of driving down the highway! (Keeping sanity - priceless) Spare a prayer or two for us, eh?

Until next time - happy spring!
