When We're Not Looking

Things are rushing along, and it's been difficult to keep up with my blogs. I did finally take some photos of Sophia and her big girl teeth. She just popped out a fifth tooth today. She has decided that she wants the camera now when I go to take a picture of her. She yelled at me this weekend when I wouldn't give it her, so I gave up without getting much for pictures.

She's really been crawling everywhere, and she cruises around the furniture or holding onto our fingers. She's very hesitant to let go and walk with only one hand, though. Her newest achievements - pretending to eat from a bowl like Leia does, uttering Leia's name (not exactly a word yet), and playing peek-a-boo with a wash cloth. She also has the great trick of waiting until we turn away, speeding out to the kitchen, and promptly dumping Leia's water dish all over the floor. You can imagine her there, slapping the puddle of water, her sleeper sopping wet, a blissful grin on her face.

Joe and I are still trying to manage life with baby. It's easier now that she's more independent, but will we ever figure out how to do things with less stress? Even going to the grocery store on the weekends is an interesting event. How do we fit it in between naps? Last weekend, we had a Mexican food and game night with friends from work. Joe and I had a curfew of 7:30 since Sophia goes to sleep around then. Oh well, no games, but at least we got to have some Mexican food. Mmmm....

The year seems to be speeding along. The end is in sight. We've already started thinking about all the things we want to do this summer. You can't beat a teacher's summer vacation.
