Sofia's whole new world

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been a while since our last update. We have been either without the internet or had problems with it the past month. Plus, Sofia had the stomache virus last week. Thankfully, everything and everyone is back to working speed so here is the latest update on Sofia.


First, big news, she is crawling! No more army crawling....she is now big girl crawling! And she lifts herself up to a standing position! With her new range of movement, a whole new world has been opened up to her. She gets into Daddy's books, bookshelves, our dresser, her exersaucer, etc. Even bathtime presents all new things to discover! And changing her diaper on the changing table...oh boy! In other words, she is into anything she can get her hands on or body into!

Inside her exersaucer

Climbing our dresser

Discovering the plug

Seeing what is outside of the tub

And in the actual tub

Checking out the changing table



Playing with Daddy's papers

Second, she is nine months now! It is hard to believe she has been out of me now for as long as she was inside of me.
Third, her vocabulary grows each day. Before we left for Christmas she could say "bye bye" while waving her hand. Now she says "Hi!" every opportunity she gets (a more optimistic choice). Every time we open the front door or are on the phone or Daddy comes into room or she sees her friends or a new face, she enthusiastically proclaims "Hi!" multiple times. She also says "book", "baby", "dada"; and "moooo" when you ask her "What does the cow say?". She is just so much fun!

All bundled up
Big smile

Finally, here are some of my favorite pictures from Christmas that I do not think you guys may have. Enjoy!
















That is all our pictures for now. Please keep David in your prayers. His comp exams are next month! We love you all!
