Sophie - 9/10/2015

Sophie ate cinnamon toast and cantaloupe for breakfast.  For lunch she ate everything; turkey slices, dinner roll, green beans, and mangoes.  She was waiting at the gate for me to bring out the lunch tray and when I did she got all excited and started clapping.  She loves to eat and is an awesome eater.  (And Nora always did as well.)

I want to give everyone a heads-up about the Blogs starting tomorrow.  Baby Hudson Boyle is starting full-time tomorrow and whenever a Baby starts it can affect when the Blogs are posted.  (At least until they get settled into a routine.)  So if it's not there when you expect it, keep checking back and I'll try to have them posted around normal time, but no later than 3:00.  Although I don't expect it to happen, just know if the Blog is not there by 3:00 then it will not be happening that day!

I could post pictures of Sophie on the mattress every day.  She loves to play and bounce here and it's super good for her balance.  She'll stand up and then intentionally flop.  Later, she was playing by the table, stood up and took 3 or 4 steps.  I started clapping and applauding her and she tipped her head back in the cutest way and was super proud of herself.  Then she just stood up and started doing it again.  Nice practice Sophie.

Here's another picture of her doing more silliness and experimenting with what she can do.  I'll bet 75% of the children we've had in Childcare do this exact thing around Sophie's age.  Cooper loves being upside-down too - now he's using the back of the couch to lean against while standing on his head.

Cooper and Reid (you can see his arm and leg on left side of picture) were playing with these pop-up toys that sing songs when you push the buttons.  Cooper is singing along and I love how Sophie is watching what he is doing.
