Big Girls Don’t Cry.

My little cutie pie is getting so big! She’ll be 9 months on the 28th of this month . . . I can’t believe it! She now has her two bottom teeth all the way in and they are so incredibly cute when she smiles at you. And speaking of smiles she does that just about all the time. It’s so heartwarming. She’s got a lot of hair, David put it in a mohawk after her bath.

Last week Sophie was sick for the first time in her life. I keep saying it’s all the probiotics I add to her food. I’ve added probiotics to her formula since she was 3 weeks old and still do so. Anyway, she had a fever for a couple of days but no infection. The doctor said she had a “summer cold” and we could just give Tylenol and Bendedryl. She bounced back about mid-week last week and now she’s back to being her little happy self!

Crawling is rather speedy and she pulls up on her knees only. She’s not standing yet and I’m perfectly fine with that. She loves Amos and the rest of the dogs. Amos actually just lies there and she is very interested in his big paws and toenails. It’s funny. Noah and Trevor steer clear of her and Jake also just lies there and lets her get really close.

Here is a video of my happy little blue-eyed gal.



I’m still working diligently with Harry and he’s coming along nicely. I sure hope you all can make the competition–yes, you in the front row, I’m talking to you. Here is my schedule for the weekend.
