Hard to believe Sophie officially turned 10 months old this week. She has gotten so big and has learned so many new things. She has been crawling for almost two months now, pulling herself up for a little less than a month now, and is starting to walk holding onto us, or her little shopping cart. She is recognizing people a lot more especially in pictures hanging in our hallway..several times a day Bob and I do a run through of Aunt Lisa, Uncle Michael, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Eric, Aunt Becky, Austin, Aaron, Grammy, Poppy, Mommy, Daddy and Sophie. We also spell out her name on the refrigerator with the magnets Grammy and Poppy bought her.
She has recently started waving bye bye while saying ba ba...close enough she knows what she is trying to say and she knows when to do it. In the last two weeks she has started to eat more table food such as mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, frozen peas, and blueberries without the skins. I have also started pureeing bananas, mangoes, blueberries, mixed veggies, cauliflower, carrots and broccoli and she loves them. Next week I'm going to try a few more new things that are about the same consistency as mashed potatoes to see how we do.
At 10 months Sophie is a very happy girl she loves being read to, plays with her stuffed monkeys "At and Bubba," her puppy "Puddles" and her dolly "Sophie." She also loves to have the ball rolled to her and she either kicks it back or rolls it back to us. Her love for outside is amazing she enjoys her walks in her stroller, swinging and likes sitting in the grass with Daddy. A hand full of times she's been in her little pool. She really loves bath time. As soon as she hears the water running, she heads for the tub and looks at us like aren't you going to put me in there.
It is amazing how time flies only two months until her first birthday..What an amazing ride so far. We are enjoying every moment with her. Children are definitely a blessing from God.
