Sophie’s World
By miranda | March 4, 2009
Sophie’s world is getting bigger and more interesting by the day. She is now quite a fast crawler and moves from room to room with ease and curiosity. This of course means that baby-proofing has moved beyond the borders of the one ‘safe’ room we had previously set up for her. This baby thing is a learning process for all of us, including the cats (maybe especially the cats). They have to get used to the idea that they have been bumped down in the pecking order.
Sophie is also getting very agile with her movements. She doesn’t really sit on her bum, she’ll squat on her knees and haunches, and she’s quite happy and stable like that. It’s easy for her to go in and out of the crawling motion from this position. The cutest new thing she does is imitate us when we blow kisses at her (not with the hand motion, but with the smaking lips). It’s great!
Her eating habits are also evolving. Right now she is in a phase where she wants to feed herself everything; put it on a spoon and she wants nothing to do with it, put it in front of her and it’s hand to mouth immeadiately. So the challenge is to find lots of good foods for her that won’t make too much of a mess, although sometimes letting her smear it all over her general vicinity is fun too. Cheerios are the choiciest meal of the minute, and she’s getting quite dextrous at picking them up and putting them in her mouth.
Harry and I are doing well. With the bit of fresh snow that we finally got in Edmonton to cover up the icy ugliness from the past couple of warm weeks we’re hoping to get a chance to hit the slopes at least once this season. We want to make sure we both still know how to snowboard since it’s been awhile.
