What will I learn next?

Wow... can so many milestones be acheived in a couple of weeks?

I now have the beginnings to two teeth, both on the bottom, both fighting each other to come out. They are definitely sore, but Mommy and Daddy allow me to cool off my gums by sucking on their ice cold glasses, and by tasting the delicious glass door (see previous blog entry). Maybe someday soon they will actually let me drink what is inside the glass.

A little over a week ago I discovered the art of making Mommy chase me around the house. I believe Mommy and Daddy call it crawling. They believe the house is now officially baby-proof, but I am sure I will find something to prove otherwise.

I love to talk, saying Mamama and Dadada. I am also realizing I can raise my voice to a louder than normal level. Mommy and Daddy seem to be unsure whether this is a good thing or not, but I believe that I am too insanely cute while doing it, that they cannot help but laugh.

A couple of days ago, I proved to Mommy how quick of a learner I am and how great of a teacher she is. After only ONE lesson of climbing stairs at Gymboree, I demonstrated my skills on the basement stairs. Whew, talk about a workout!

I continue to love sleeping through the night and am very sweet during the day, so says Mommy and Daddy. I suppose I must attribute this to the amazing parenting skills of my Mommy. She really is the best Mommy in the world, so says Daddy and I.

Well I guess you would like to see some pictures, so here goes!!

Happy Easter everyone, stay tuned for special Easter pics!

Meet 9 Month Old Sophia!

Today, I had my 9 month check up at the doctor... not a whole lot of fun. It is hard to believe that in less that three months, I will be 1 year old!

Mommy and Daddy say that I am the most beautiful baby in the whole world!

Ooooohhh, look, new shoes!!

I am loving these shoes!!

Do not even THINK about takin my shoes!

Enjoying the nice spring weather... in MARCH!

On Saturday, March 7th, I had a very busy day. After enjoying our surprise sleep-over visit from our friends, Pastor Rob and Barb Smith, on Friday night, I awoke for a FULL day of fun.

First, we traveled to Limerick, PA so that Daddy could be interviewed by the Nazarene District Board for his District Minister's License.

Then after that, we traveled to Uncle Cory and Aunt Elizabeth's house to celebrate the birthday of Cousin Morgan (it was her first birthday!), Uncle Cory, and my Great Aunt Kathy. It was a lot of fun! Cousin Morgan had all sorts of fun toys to play with and Daddy took me out to play in the grass as you can see from the above picture. Most of the Brown side of the family was there... including Grandpa and Grandmama Brown, Uncle Matt, and Aunt Stephanie (I have another cousin growing up in Aunt Steph's belly), Great Uncle Brian, and Cousins Hannah and Sarah.

I did not get a whole lot of sleep that day... which made me not such a happy camper later in the day. It did not help that Daddy kept getting lost on our way back to Ephrata.

And to top it all off, on Saturday night, we lost an hour of precious beauty sleep due to Daylight Savings Time.

Oh, well, I am all adjusted now...
