We have FINALLY gotten our kitchen countertop in (just today as I am writing this it’s being finished up!) Woohoo!
Soph has made huge progress in the last few days. She has gone from sucking on her fingers (oh so primitive) to reading novels . . . ok, kidding. But she has actually taken an interest in books the last week. A few favorites with bright pages and pictures keep her interested for a full five minutes!
She seems to be quite happy reading Baby Einstein and her very favorite ever - “Moo Baa La La La,” an in-depth investigation into the sounds of farm animals. I’m pretty sure it is the combination of fun illustrations and her mom’s foolish attempt to imitate the little beasts’ noises, but she coos and laughs every time we read it (at least once a day)!
She does not, however, seem to appreciate all literature. Veggie Tales, for example, is just a bit too immature for her taste!
In other Sophia news, she has taken a liking to sticking just about anything she can grab into her mouth. This includes burp rags, toys, her dresses. So often times she ends up showing off her bottoms and a bare midriff. Oh, in this heat, what I wouldn’t give to be able to lift up my dress, show my midriff and have everyone think I was the most adorable thing they’d ever seen! Lucky baby. (And you will, of course, notice that the tongue still makes its common appearance!)
And finally, Soph is constantly trying to sit. No more stretching out or laying down! At the slightest indication that we may be putting her in a reclining position, she thrusts forward her shoulder and neck and makes it quite clear that there will be none of that if she can help it! She would prefer to be propped up against anything – the couch, her stuffed animals, mom or dad’s lap, even Joe (who doesn’t seem to take to this idea very much and is on the move)!
That’s all for today!
