To: Grandmas of the World!

You'll love these video clips! We have had so much fun with Sophy lately that we haven't had time to share her with you! Here are some video clips of her most recent advancements. She is not only an expert crawler, she is an expert climber. She is also working on and will add to her list of accomplishments very soon, walking while holding onto something. Thus the reason that mom hasn't had time for blogging. :( She's been giggling and crying a bit about her two new teeth that have come in on the bottom, with top ones coming in soon potentially.

Sophy is playing with neighborhood-twin Anna Wilson. She is very confused about why Anna gets to sit in her chair. Jealousy over toys is beginning already... (if you notice, in the beginning of the clip, cute Anna sticks her lizard-like tongue out at Sophy as she is Queen of the Exersaucer!)

Here is a clip of Sophy climbing. She is such a little adventurer and so strong! I think you'll see that she is learning to walk a little (though she's learned more since this clip was made) from object to object, claps to show excitement and approval, and can wave to say "hi." I am reading up on "Baby Signs," and it seems that she is more than ready to begin learning those...really she is trying to teach me to communicate with her!

And our little crawler... She definitely keeps us on our toes. Now she crawls from the livingroom to the kitchen in 1-2 minutes flat (and used to be splat) to be with mom. Separation anxiety has set in a little bit, but mostly she's just really excited about her new talents.
