We're in trouble!

Our little Sophie-Loup is busy, busy, busy. She's completely mastered crawling and moved on to pulling herself up to standing. She also demands to be "walked" around the apartment while holding our hands. She needs to learn to walk on her own soon, or grow 2 inches because our backs are killing us! It's actually amazing watching her exploring more of her world, now that she can reach it. We never catch up with the baby-proofing, though. Sophie can turn on my record player, lick the stereo (oh, it's so shiny!) and open video tape boxes. All this makes us busy, busy, busy, too.

Quite the Traveller

Montreal was a lovely holiday. Despite our concerns, Sophie was an amazing traveller. She was great on the plane: no problems with take-offs/landings, loved the little TV in the back of the seat and waved at all the other passengers (eliciting smiles and laughs all around). She got to meet a lot of her relatives (we'll have to make a return visit to meet the rest), including her great-grandmother Lucille. Michael and I got to lounge in bed every morning while my mom fed Sophie her breakfast. The weather was great and we let Sophie go barefoot, despite the fact that all the Montreal babies were bundled up (wimps!) Sophie also chose this holiday as the time to start crawling like crazy and walk around holding hands (she has quite a goose-step when she walks). So now we're home and Sophie has 8 teeth, sings to herself, stands up holding onto furniture, makes jokes with her reflection, and insists on walking, walking, walking throughout the apartment (I wish we were shorter!)
