Busy Baby

Nine month old Sophie has been keeping us on our toes this month! She has started to crawl, wave bye-bye and sing to her toys/books. She started with the "combat crawl" and now actively seeks us out around the apartment. Sophie now has six teeth...yet again we missed one coming in as we were so preoccupied with her other teeth!

Please check out a new link to videos of Sophie that we have added to this blog. The photo and video links have been moved up the page so that they are visible underneath our profile. Check for them on the left side of the page.

More Teeth and Some Tears

Sophie is now sporting 5 choppers, and as those who have put their fingers in her mouth can attest, they are sharp!!! Our little miss is also getting awfully close to crawling. She sort of launches herself forward to reach toys and the remote controls, but hasn't figured out how to coordinate her arms and legs yet. I continue to experiment in the kitchen with the home-made baby food. Sophie has working her way up to baby chili and chicken & avocado. She really liked the roast beef and potatoes I made for us. It's nice that we can now share our food with her, On a sad note, we said good-bye to our guinea pigs this month. TeaCup found a new home, and I like to think Penny is running around in a predator-free field in heaven, where she can eat all the grass she likes. When Sophie's older, we'll probably get guinea pigs again, because they were so much fun! For now, we're getting ready for our trip to Montreal next month, and we're excited about Sophie's first plane ride.
