There- all caught up! Can you tell the kids went to bed early tonight? We're loving the return of more outside time as the weather warms up & I especially enjoy how extra easy bedtime gets after a good dose of fresh air.
Sophie is such a busy 10 month old. She is constantly moving around the house. She cruises around wherever she can hold onto something like a couch or ottoman, and crawls everywhere else. Learning to walk does have its pitfalls though & she took a pretty bad lump to the forehead just this afternoon as she lost her grip on the kid's table. Thankfully she recovers pretty quickly and moves onto the next adventure.
Sophie is a big fan of eating solids now too. Even though she's a bit of an underachiever in the tooth department with only her two middle bottom ones, she wants to try everything we have on the table. Her current favourites are cucumbers, carrot sticks, blueberries, toast, pancakes & anything with apple sauce. She also gobbles up meat & veggie stews I cook up for her and likes snacking on cheerios & Mum-mums. If we aren't quite fast enough with her food or there is something on the table she wants, she starts to make a sound like a Canada Goose that sets us all laughing at her.
Other than her "goose" call, Sophie is making lots of babbling sounds, including da-da, ba-ba, and va-va. Sometimes it seems like she is trying to tell us something & but we haven't been able to make much sense of her yet. I'm convinced some form of "Daniel" will be her first word because she absolutely adores her big brother and wants to play along with whatever he is doing. Daniel enjoys trying to teach her things and repeating stories about what he was like when he was her age. It will be interesting to hear their conversations once she is able to have a say as well.
