Sophie took her very first unaided steps! The best part is that we have video:
As usual, Sophie has been keeping us busy with all the things a not-quite-one-year-old goes through. Our schedule has changed so many times that I can’t even remember all of the iterations. The most difficult change happened last weekend at 1 am:
Sophie was nestled all snug in her bed,
While visions of Cheerios danced in her head;
With Kelly in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long night’s nap.When out of Sophie’s room there arose such a clatter,
We sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Were her diapers all soiled; did a rash need some gel?
Nope, nothing was wrong, she’d just learned how to yell.
We also installed a new storm door last Saturday giving our front door the equivalent sealing power of a zip-loc double zipper bag. (Designed with you in mind.) Honestly, attempting to close the two doors with any force feels as if you will shatter the glass. Personally, I like to think of it as an airlock like you see in sci-fi movies. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to relive any dramatic decontamination scenes due to my body greatly exceeding the two inch space between the doors. But adding that to our door and window improvements helps to keep out the road noise.
SOOOO COOOLLLL
You can tell she actually realized what she was doing!
Yay! I’m so excited that you guys captured part of it on tape!
That was great! I don’t know who was more excited, Sophie or you two. She is on her way! Get the car keys ready.
I’m so very thankful and blessed to be able to see this precious little Miss on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis! She brings so much joy to our office here at the conference center. I so love hugging on her!
