She's her usual playful, very active self. She's all over the place rolling around, sitting up, laying down, etc. She's getting so close to crawling. I was taking some pictures of her a couple days ago and caught her trying to get up on all fours. Of course she only does this kind of thing in perilous places, like here on the edge of the couch. Check out these pictures.
Check out this positioning, Sherry. And I didn't help her at all!
Almost!
And here are a few more...
I just can't believe how much she's changed just since Christmas. She just babbles on and on all the time with more sounds than I can even think of to write. I swear she was waiting until just after she saw Dr. Y. for her 9 month appointment to start saying all kinds of new things.
She's added lots of consonants and vowels to her vocabulary and says different sounds together now instead of repeating the same thing. Like instead of dadadada, she says dado yabala oh. Something like that. I can't really write "Sofie Speak" very well! I'd say her language skills and vocabulary have easily quadrupled in the last month.
She's all over the place and VERY handsy with everything within reach (and everything you think is out of reach). She grabs absolutely everything, which is making it really hard to give her baths in the sink. I really need to dig out the tub toys so she'll have something to play with.
She started trying to clap when she was around 7 1/2 months old I think, but she'd clap her hands together with her fists closed. Since the week of Christmas she claps with her hands open and actually makes the clapping sound and loves it, so she claps at everything now. It has replaced waving as her new favorite skill. The other night she somehow managed to balance on her bottom while sitting halfway up and holding her ankles so she could clap her feet together. Squirrel.
It seems like she's always learning to do new things, and it's so much fun to watch her. Her favorite thing to do is still dancing though. She dances all the time - even to commercials. She was a big fan of Jack's piano playing, and I especially liked his accompanying dance moves!
We have a very busy week ahead of us with 7 appointments between the two of us, but nothing terribly exciting (I hope).

She is just beautiful!
What adorable pictures! It's great to hear of all the progress Sofie's making. Isn't it so neat to see them learning so many new things?
Ah! Sofie is sooo cute. Even though Maxton will be a year younger I am determined they meet one day so maybe they will hit if off. :-) So pleased to hear she is doing well and learning all kinds of neat things.
What a big girl.. almost crawling.. that is great! It is so wonderful to see all these pictures of just Sofie.. minus the o2 and feeding tube! So happy to see she is doing so well.

It is so Great!!! to see Sofia without tubes. She is such a cutie and I think she looks so much like her Daddy. She has come so far and I really feel like she is such a miracle baby and I'm so thrilled to be her Great Aunt. She gives so much HOPE!! to other CDH babies. Way to Go Super Sofie. Of course I do have to give credit to the wonderful parents she has. She definitely hit the Lottery when she got you and Kenny for her mommy and daddy Love Aunt Gail
Sofie looks so good TUBE FREE!!! What an amazing girl she is. I love to hear about all the progress she is making.
