Pulling Up

Sophie's entered a new world of possibilities with her latest talent: pulling up! No longer content to see the world from her belly, she now wants to check everything out from her full stature of approximately 2'4". :) So she pulls up on whatever object she can reach, regardless of it's stability. LOL She is incredibly strong with an impressive determination to reach her goal. The look on her face during and after each attempt is priceless.

Curious about big brother while he watches Dora: (You'll notice our new solution to Will stripping at bedtime... put a t-shirt over his jammies and he doesn't even try to unzip anymore! That was WAY too easy... but whatever works!)




Sweet, sweet big brother:




Sophia is a well-loved little girl:


We surround the couch with pillows in the evening to cushion her fall:

But usually she's able to fall pretty gracefully. And same with moving from a sitting position to her belly. She does so without bonking her head on the ground. The girl has an impressive control of her body! Unlike myself... Craig says I still don't know where my arms and legs are sometimes with my clumsiness. LOL
