It's sad to think that summer is coming to an end (maybe more in my head - if it is anything like last summer, it lasted well into October here in Portland). It seems like it flew by... as time seems to do I guess! It's also very hard to believe that Sofia is less than 2 months from being 1. Such exciting times, yet my stomach knots up and my eyes burn with mama tears at the thought of my baby growing up. This must be the pain of parenting. You are so excited for the next step, yet heartbroken by the time that passes because you can't get it back.
Sofia has been doing lots of crawling. Anywhere and everywhere. She isn't picky. (& her knees are quite willing to take the grunt of the work!)
She LOVES water. I hope we can get her in some a few more times this season before the cool weather comes on.
Library story time has been a big hit this summer. Sofia crawls ALL OVER the place. She loves visiting the librarian, crawling out of the room into the rest of the library, and playing with the toys during story time.
She plays. She actually purposefully plays. A Lot! Sofia loves putting these rocks into containers and shaking them out. And it's a definite plus that she doesn't attempt to eat the rocks too often!
Music in the park with her daddy.
Sofia went through a stage where she enjoyed standing up in her seat rather than sitting down to get buckled in. Glad it was short lived, for now at least...
We spent a day at the zoo. I want to go again soon now that it's fall and the school aged kids are all back in class.
Just playing while Mama makes dinner.
Daddy cuddles.
Drinking from a cup.
Another photo of Sofia standing up in her car seat!
Future soccer player...? She will be if her Uncle Courtney and Aunt Kendra have anything to do with it!
More story time playing.
How many babies can fit in a toy box?
The usual morning backyard patrol check.
Sofia loves crawling on the sidewalk, and despite what looks a little painful for the knees, she is speedy!
Breakfast out. With the food sensitivity issues, eating out hasn't really been something Sofia has experienced. Yet, she does pretty good sitting in her high chair and eating with us! Right now we have two places we can eat at (one thing on each menu, plus I bring some of my own food - these aren't server type places, more like order at the counter and find your own table to eat at, so this makes bringing in extra food possible.)
She is one happy baby!
One of the best changes of this summer was the addition of family in Portland. Sofia's Uncle Bric moved in August!
