The Adventures of Sophie

Ryan was away on business for a few days so I haven't had a lot of free time to blog about Christmas yet.  It is still on my list of things to do.  I did want to do a quick post about Sophie this week since what she loves to do most, changes so often. 

On the list for this week:

Playing a game of cat and mouse with Baron.  She will go up to him and get his attention, then run away in hopes of him chasing her.  If he doesn't come after her, she will turn around and go back to try and get his attention again.  If he does come after her, she runs around a corner and hides until her finds her.  Then she squeals with delight and runs away, looking for another corner to hide behind.

 Also, climbing up and down stairs has been a pick of the week.  We go up and down the stairs many times a day.  Of course this is all being done while holding mom's index finger in her left hand.  This is so her right hand is free to pick up anything she thinks is interesting along the way.

And finally, playing with the potatoes.  Sophie has a few cupboards that she knows she can play with whatever she finds inside.  Her new favorite cupboard has a bag of potatoes so she pulls out the bag, empties the potatoes on the floor, picks her favorite potato and chews away.  We are currently working on her second top tooth.  It has been a long and painful month with little sleep (her first top tooth came through December 24th) .  However, she is pleasant during the daytime and for that I am thankful.
