Sophie's First Steps

Sophie has been cruising and trying to stand up and balance. Tonight after dinner, Chad was helping her practice standing. I happened to get down across from her and put my hands out towards her and she took her first little baby steps, two to be exact. Emily, Annie, Chad and I were all clapping for her. She looked at all of us and had a huge grin and started clapping too. It was very cute! She's growing up way to fast.

Happy First Birthday Sophie!

A year ago today, Sophie was born. She is a blessing to our family and we love her so much! Here are some things she is doing at age one:

* waving hello and good-bye
* smiling and showing off her 4 front teeth (with one on the way)
*pulling up on everything
*trying to pull her self up and over and into the tub
*cruising around the house with her walker/baby stroller
*increasingly talking with many more sounds (sounds like she's trying to have a conversation)
*always saying, "dat, dat, dat" and "da da" and "ma ma"
*reaching her hands out towards you

* She's in investigation mode:
            *opening up cabinet doors and drawers
*trying to crawl up the stairs
*turning the bathtub water on and off
*playing with the air coming out of the air vents on the floor
            *putting EVERYTHING in her mouth for a taste
