Walking Along

For those of you that don't already know, Sophia is walking. She took her first steps by herself on Good Friday for her Great Grammie (Sophia). I was completely unprepared for this and had to go out and buy a baby gate and various other safety products. Boy, are they expensive. This isn't the best video but it gives you an idea what she does. Her favorite thing is to walk to me then to Cory then back to me. Over and over. She usually gets so tickled at herself after a couple of times that she ends up swerving and weaving like she has had a little too much to drink. She is so funny. (Thank you MiMi for the so cute outfit. We love it.)

Petting Zoo

Earth Day: Lorakeets

We love the Lorakeet Landing. I wasn't sure how Sophia would react to a bunch of birds flying around but she loved it. She laughed and clapped and tried to hold them. Daddy got to feed the birds this time. Maybe next time when it isn't so crowded Sophia can have a turn.

Yes, he has 3 birds on him

Earth Day

Today we took Sophia to the Zoo for the first time. We thought she would be good for about 1 1/2-2 hours, but we ended up staying almost 4 hours. I didn't think that at only 9 months she would care too much about the zoo, but she loved it. She was not at all scared of the animals and loved the petting zoo. I was so proud of how well she did. Of course she went through almost a whole container of puffs, but who's counting? I won't bore you with all the pictures, so here are just a few.

Uncle Ed & Aunt Gertrude

Okay, this post is a little out of order but I had to post it anyway. When we went to Philly to visit Grammie and Grandpop, we also visited Uncle Ed and Aunt Gertrude. We had a great visit. It was really good to see them again. Here is just one picture from our lunch together.

The Bubble

Today it was warm enough for Sophia to wear shorts but I decided it would be much funnier to put her in "The Bubble". I don't know the technical name for these outfits, but they are so cute. She looks like she is wearing a bubble. But as always, she is so cute.

Bubble-licious

Those cute little legs
