Sitting Up

I am sitting up now!!!! I'm a little wobbly but for the most part I can sit up on my own.  My mom put me in the rocking sleeper and when she looked over at me I was pulling myself up to sit up and get a toy at my feet.  She was so excited and proud of me so she grabbed the camera and took some pictures and I didn't fall back down like I have before.



Messy Eater

Usually I am a nice clean eater but tonight I was a messy eater.  I didn't feel very good and I was tired but still hungry.  When my mom was feeding me I wanted to put my fingers in my mouth and then wipe my eyes.  I did it once and then a second time right away and my mom figured that it would not do any good to wipe my hands each time I put them in my mouth.  She just let me do my thing until I was done eating.  After that I had to take a bath but I didn't mind. My mom did think it looked funny with sweet potatoes in my eyebrows.

My First Baseball Game

My dad got tickets for us to go to the Dash Ballgame.  It wasn't too hot so mom and dad thought it would be ok to take me too.  They were so proud of me for doing such a good job while we were there.  I sat and watched all the different things going on and then I took a little nap.


A New Toy

Mom got out a new toy for me to play with - my Johnny Jump Up.  I like the toys that hang on it, especially the mirror.  I haven't really figured out how it works yet and that I can make it bounce up and down.  I like it when someone moves it for me to bounce up and down but when they stop I'm ready to get out.  My mom thought it was funny that I lean to one side and stand on one foot so she took a picture of me doing that.

Going For A Walk

Mom and I took a walk with Ella, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Charlie, Abby, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Brandon, and Brayden!!! Dad was at work and Aunt Kelly, Uncle Brandon, and Brayden were visiting for the weekend.  It was really nice outside but near the end of our walk Ella got out and tired so she decided to just lay down in the road to catch her breathe.  Mom had the idea to put Ella in the bottom of my stroller and let her ride home. It was a funny site to see.

Sitting In The Highchair

When we go out to eat at a restaurant I get to get out of my car seat and sit in a highchair now.  I like a lot better because it's not as hot and I can see what's going on.  I'm doing good sitting up in it all by myself and eating in it too.  My mom and dad have attached toys to my seat cover to keep me entertained when I'm done eating and while they are eating.  I have also learned that I can just lay back and relax in the highchair.

Mom Back To Work

August 17

Today my mom had to go back to work so I got to go to Morgan's house and stay for the day.  I also got to play with some toys that were new to me and with Ace.  Morgan sent a picture to my mom to show her that I was having a good day and it really made my mom's day better and go by a little faster.  I was such a good girl too - I ate all my food, played, and took a long nap.  I didn't cry when my mom dropped me off either and she said that made it easier for her to leave me there.

My Bumbo Seat

My bumbo seat is one of my favorite things right now.  I don't like to lay on my back as much anymore so my mom and dad put me in my seat so that I can sit up and see what is going on around me.  I sit in it when I eat and also when my mom is cooking dinner.  When she's cooking I get to sit in my seat on the island and we talk back and forth and the best part is that I get to see what is going on because I don't want to miss out on anything.  I also can lean over and reach my toys that are beside of my seat if I feel like playing or just chewing on them.

Looking down and thinking about picking up my toy.

Going For A Walk

My mom and dad took me for a walk in the neighborhood.  My mom thought that I looked so small sitting in the stroller without my car seat.  I liked going on the walk and my dad took me closer to the cows at the edge of our neighborhood.  He wanted to see what kind of reaction I would have to them but I just thought they were ok and I was ready to keep walking.  I think my mom and dad was expecting me to make some kind of face at the cows but I didn't feel like I just kept my serious look the whole time.

Silly Sophie

I have discovered that I can do many things with my plug and it has become one of my favorite things to pass the time.  I like to take it in and out of my mouth; turn it around and put back in my mouth.  I also like to take it out of my mouth and just turn it all around and look at it.  My mom took a picture of me when I took it out of my mouth and laid it on my face.  I left it there for a little bit while she was changing my diaper and then called for my dad to come and see.
