Clinton and I have been going to "Parenting Class" at our church every 2nd and 4th monday nights every month. I believe they have had two so far and Clinton and I went to both. We have enjoyed going because we get to spent time with other parents and it's interesting how alike some parents think. With so many things to worry about when trying to raise a child "right," it's nice to know other parents share the same concerns as we do. I know Sophie is only 7.5 months old but we're talking future things to be worried about I guess. Clinton and I have been trying to go to church atleast every other weekend. It's nice to get Sophie out and exposed to church and other people. I'm already excited for sunday school for her. It's nice knowing the kids who will be in her class and being able to watch them grow up.
Now as for just Sophie, she has been changing so much lately. I'm really starting to notice how much of a little girl she has become. She interacts with me all the time. It seems we have our own lingo. She has started to be able to feed herself. A month ago I tried giving her some crunchy stars and she did not like it one bit. Now I just tried again and she took to it just great. She'll have her tray cleaned in no time. Next week I might try some other soft cut up veggies... we'll see though. I've really been enjoying making baby food too. There are so many foods out there that I want to expose her too that they don't have in the store, not to mention saving some money. That's always a bonus. Sophie has taken to most of her foods. Also, Sophie is getting better at crawling. She's kinda lazy about it though. She's been army crawling for almost 2 months I suppose. About 2 weeks ago she took some of her first crawling steps. Yesterday she did a great job at crawling and trying to get up on things when her cousin was over. She must have been competing for attention. Then an hour or so later she pulled herself up, not straight up but up atleast. She's changing so fast and I'm just so excited for her. This summer will definately be a blast with her. I can't wait to take her to the beach... I'll just have to watch so she's not eating the sand :) Oh Sophie also cut her first top tooth the first of the month so now she has three teeth and the other top one is close behing the other.
Despite being very demanding for her mommy, she seems to be a very sweet mild mannered little girl. She does like her daddy too though. If he comes in during the work day she always gets all smiley and just stares at him until he leaves again. Well, here are a few pictures....
So much for organization. Sophie loves pulling out all the DVD's
