Miss Sophia

Miss Sophia is going to be 10 months on the 18th of this month.  So far she doesn't quite crawl, but rather gets around by using her arms (the part between her wrists and elbow - not her hands) and then the opposite leg/foot.  It looks rather funny when she gets going, I call her 'gimp' when she's in action.  She finally started getting into the sitting position by herself just recently, she's been able to sit on her own for several months, but just not able to get into the position.  Sophia still doesn't have any teeth, but that's OK, because I don't think I could handle two babies teething at the same time.  She's a rather serious baby, just soaking everything up and observing, it takes her awhile to warm up to people, even family members that she sees on a more regularly.  She was the first to stay in her bible class on Sunday mornings without fussing.  She was also the first to pickup things with her thumb and pointer finger.  It's so fun to see that even though Sophia is a 'twin' she's her own individual and you probably wouldn't even know she was a twin if you didn't already know!

Sophia is already wearing some 18 month clothes including the adorable dress she's wearing - courtesy of KC, she sent me some great girly clothes recently and this is one of my favorite dresses!  KC and Ryan have four kids of their own, two older kids and two of which are closer to our childrens' ages.  We are looking forward to visiting them in Montana this November so Mike can go hunting with Ryan.  We can't wait!  It will certainly be interesting traveling with all 4 kids... I'm sure you'll see some blog posts on that later this year.
