The Beginning of September/Starting to Walk

It's been a busy month so far! Sophia has been hard at work learning and discovering her abilities and the world around her. She has a bunch more teeth, bring her to a total count of 12. She has also been taking a few steps on her own, I've counted her taking at least 15 (I promise to post a clip of her walking soon). However, she's much more confident holding on to someone with one hand and running. She loves to scream, uses her fingers to point, blows kisses, has learned a few more baby signs, and has added the word bye-bye to her vocabulary.

Any-who, the month started with visit from Nana Wendy and Papa Scott. They weren't able to attend Sophia's 1st birthday party, so instead we got to have a small imitate belated celebration—it was very nice! They brought 'Phia a bunch of cute gifts and took us all to dinner—thanks! After dinner Nana and Papa played a silly straw game with Sophia (see video clip below). Not sure who was having more fun (ha-ha).

The following weekend we attended Kiere (my cousin) and Lauren's wedding in Saratoga, NY. Nonna Penny accompanied us there to be our babysitter since it was an adult-only event. I think she and 'Phia had a lot of fun together! Thanks Nonna! The wedding was beautiful and the newly weds seemed very happy! No pics to share of Nonna and Sophia or of the newly weds—we'll do better next time.
