~ said her first word! Ball! (as you can see from the picture, she's obsessed!)
~ she stands without holding on and can squat down, pick something up, and stand back up with no help.
~ she's trying to feed herself with a spoon. She gets the concept, but can't get the food on the spoon without some help.
~ she walks all over the place while holding on to your fingers, but she isn't trying to take any steps on her own yet. If there's nothing for her to hold on to, then she gets down and starts crawling.
~ she looooves the puppies. She starts squealing and clapping whenever she sees them.
~ she makes us laugh all.the.time. She makes funny faces and funny noises and when she sees us laughing, she laughs more and it's just a wonderful sound all of us laughing together.
Planning for her birthday party is in full swing. It's going to be pretty low key, but my cousin (once or twice removed - or however that all works) makes invitations and decorations so we HAD to order things from her. If you're on Facebook, you should definitely check her out. Peas & Thank You's is the name and she's amazing. I will definitely have pictures of her work once we have the party next month.
Here are some pics of what Soph has been up to this past month.
