Love Internationale

Today Sophie is 12 months old and we’ve had her for THREE WHOLE months. I can hardly believe it.

Now she is crawling like a little speed demon, talking, playing with everything she can get her hands on, and is pulling up to stand via her crib railing. She is becoming more cuddly every day and is attaching well to both of us. She loves music and the cookie monster…and we love her more than I can possibly express.

This month’s picture was quite a challenge. Oy. Now that she’s crawling it’s hard to keep her in one place long enough to take a decent snap. Of course, it takes about twenty to get one halfway decent one. If you want to collect the whole set from this month’s effort, scroll to the bottom of this post.

A few of the other snaps from today…

Ive been busy and haven’t had time to blog much…but i do have some pictures. I know that’s all you guys come here for anyway. *g*

Sophie said “baba” this morning. This is what I’ve been calling her bottle from the get go and she said it while i was making her baba, so I’m counting it as her third word.

In other news, we’ve battened down the hatches…our girl is mobile! She’s crawling everywhere.

Now for the good stuff….

Here are a few pictures from the Renaissance Festival that we attended over the weekend…

Watching the…..

Jousters….

Sophie did get to pet her first horsie. She laughed, smiled and promptly tried to slam on horsie’s nose.

Here is a shot of Sophie and her great grandmother on great grandma’s ninetieth birthday (yesterday):

Her hair is long enough I can actually use certain hair clippys now. See…

Finally, a little snurgling from her doting great aunt Carol:

Sophie is now….

Playing peek-a-boo
waving hello and bye-bye
saying Papa (so she has two words now)

and…..

CRAWLING.

Goddess help the cats.
