Things are going Swimmingly!

Things are going well at the PC household. Sophie is very close to crawling, which means we have to do more baby-proofing. Even though we try to distract her with her own toys, Sophie knows where the remote controls are, and how to use them (she changed the settings on the TV!). We've gone for a couple successful swims. Sophie complained when I put her face in the water, but then put her own face in a couple times after that. So now we're looking forward to our trip to Montreal in 1 1/2 months.

Gotcha!

For a baby who doesn't crawl yet, Sophie sure makes her way around the apartment. After she grabbed this video tape, she actually started to roll towards the VCR. Ah, perhaps we should cut back on her TV viewing! Sophie's 7 1/2 months now and we're having a lot of fun. We finally went swimming (photos to follow), and she had a blast. She even put up with splashes from her cousin Kate. She loves going out in the backpack. Every time I put her in there, Sophie lets out a whoop and tries to eat my hair. It's even more fun when Michael takes her because she's up so high. We did some "Baby Rhyme-time" at the library, but it's still hard to get going in the morning. I've figured out that early babyhood is a cycle: feed baby, change baby, put baby to sleep. Then you move to more of a routine, where you have morning and afternoon naps and mealtimes, but it all depends on when you get up. Then you move to a schedule. We're still on a "routine". I think I've got things all organized and then Sophie will wake up every 3 hours one night for no reason. Thank goodness there are 8 hour nights, or I might turn into a mommy-zombie.
