Ya mero

Sofie will be a year soon. Very soon. I just can't believe it. We had a fun time last week. I went to the Wave Pool with my students and it inspired me to let Sofie swim. We bought a family pool, 10'x6' 22 inches deep, so that we could beat the summer heat this year. She loved it! She just floated along. We also bought her a floaty that she could sit in. She has started singing in church now. She will sing along and when we stop, she stops. It is just too funny! She still enjoys playing with her feet. She is so clever that she uses them to get to things that are out of reach. Pictures to come.

¡Diez meses!

Sofie is wearing a cute strawberry hat.

My little Sofie is ten months today! I am so excited. I can't believe how much she has grown in the last ten months. Yesterday I held a 2 month old baby and Sofie just loved seeing the baby. She was really excited! She screamed and laughed. Today Karen held Sadie so that Sofie could look at her and the same thing happened. Poor Sadie looked very frightened. She is getting really fast at her army crawling too. When she is on the floor, she just takes off. She is very clever. She will use her finger to pick up stuff on the floor and put it in her mouth. Her nana says she crawls like a crab. Well a cute one anyway.

Mucho en un mes

So much has happened this month. Sofie got sick 3 times. She would seem to be better but then she would get a runny nose, a fever or a sore throat. From what the doctor tells us, she still has a couple of ulcers in the back of her throat. She prescribed a mixture of Maalox and benedryl. It sounded weird to me so I didn't give it to her. Maalox just doesn't seem like it is meant for kids. Plus she told me to give it to her when she wasn't eating well. Like that is ever a problem for my sweetie at 21 lbs. 14 oz. If I notice that she is not eating like normal, then I will follow the doctors orders, but for now since it is not going to heal the ulcers, I'll wait. I am giving her Tylenol and benedryl as needed. Does it sound crazy that I don't want to give my daughter Maalox? I know that it won't hurt her and I should trust my doctor, but I am just not comfortable with it.

Sofie also started to army crawl this past week. She has gotten really good at it now. She also says bye when she wants to and after I get off the phone with someone. Jeff taught her how to make motor noises with her mouth and finger. She loves to mimic the sounds of words. The doctor says that's a sign of intelligence...of course. She loves playing outside on the grass. She enjoys X-box with daddy also. When you say Nana or daddy or mamí, she looks at the person. She laughs so sweetly when we play peek a boo. She pulls the blanket up and down, it is funny to watch. I was able to get her to sport the "Shelby" do. I pulled up as much hair as I could and put a rubber band and a bow in it. I see some curls in her hair too. She looks so cute with a bow in her hair. She also loves to pick up things with her feet. She will just grab at stuff with her feet and bring it up to her hands. As soon as I figure out how to add video I will add this because it is hysterical. I can't believe how time is just flying by.
