We're Walking, sort of!

Sophie took her first steps on September 21st! Daddy caught it on his phone so I have to get him to download it so I can post the video. She took two steps then sat down and got back up for one more. She was reaching for me and I pulled my hands away and she fell. Way to go, mom! However, since then, she will barely stand on her own for more than a few seconds. She will still run all over if you are holding her hands but the second you let go, she sits. Such a stink! But a cute stink!

11 months

So I need to back track a little bit. Sophie learned quite a few new things at 11 months and I skipped right over them. We went to Utah because TJ's dad had a stroke. TJ left after 4 days because his dad was doing much better and he needed to get back to work. Sophie and I stayed for a while longer. While we were there Sophie learned to shrug her shoulders-she shrugs and tilts her head to the side and usually smiles. So stinkin cute! She learned to dance-butt on the ground, body moving side to side-dance dance dance. She also started waving-open and close the fingers to herself and then branch out and do it to everyone else! She even stood on her own for a couple of seconds. We went to my grandparents cabin at Bear Lake and she LOVED the COLD water, but started hating bathtime. Grandma threw a surprise birthday party for my Aunt Lynda and my mom surprised her even more with a visit. We had a great time. Everybody just spoiled her rotten and she got lots of attention. I would post pictures but TJ unknowingly took the camera home with him so I had to take pictures with my phone. One day I will figure out how to get them on to my computer.
