9 Months and 2 Days

Sophie is now 9 months and 2 days old. (That is only 3 months from being 1 year old, ahhh!)
She is such a happy and playful little girl. She has now perfected the art of army crawling with an occasional step or two of real crawling. On Easter Sunday in Relief Society she crawled to her car seat and pulled herself up to her feet for the first time. Since then she really has not done it again until last night when she pulled herself up with the couch.

She has been eating all different kinds of foods and even a few bites of some sweet treats. She also is able to feed herself little bits and things like banana, bread, and crackers. She doesn't really seem to have a food preference yet, and I am hoping that will stick.

Up until about three weeks ago Sophie always slept on her back. Now she mostly sleeps on her tummy but she moves every which way in her crib. She also tends to move very close to a side of the bed and snuggle herself up close.

She does make lots of funny faces and tries to copy the faces that you make at her. Peek-a-boo is still a very popular game and can get her laughing quiet hard.

Even though she is not very old Sophie has been on 4 round trip plane ride (to and from Seattle to visit Grandma Olson and oh, and the rest of the Olson Family) and a road trip to Vegas (also to see Grandma Olson).

This picture of Sophie sitting in her own seat from our most recent trip to Seattle.

Watch out - I am telling you! When this girl gets walking she will go straight to a run. Oh and probably jumping and twirling around. Why would I think that? :)
