Little Buggy



Sophie is now 9 months old!
Recently I realized that I haven't posted much about her since she turned 6 months old. She has grown and progressed so much within the last 3 months. Her cute personality is manifesting more and more each day.
It's time for another Sophie update!

At 7 months she started babbling, and has not stopped since! True to form, her first word was "Daddy." She also clearly says "Baby!" while holding Jocee's dolls & "Yay!!" while clapping. She is definitely going to be an early talker.

At 8 months Sophie finally started crawling! And when I went to get her this morning, she was standing in her crib! She has been pulling herself up on things (and trying to climb) all day today.--I love it! She has been doing things about 2 months later than Jocee did, but we are in no rush!

We love that she is so different from her big sister. Here are some of Sophie's cute quirks that we love...
  • Sophie LOVES to cuddle.
  • She gives hugs all the time!
  • She likes to be tickled, and will grab people's hands so that they can tickle her.
  • She is always trying to keep up with Jocee.
  • Sophie wants to do anything that her big sister is doing, and tries to mimic her all the time!
  • She is such a happy baby & laughs all the time!
  • She has the cutest little sense of humor.

  • Sophie LOVES playing with dolls! (Partially to mimic what Jocee does.)
  • She loves playing with Jocee.
  • Watching the two of them interact is priceless.



Of course, I could add so much more to this list. Sophie is such an amazing little girl! We love that she is so different from her big sister. Getting to know her personality is such a joy.

It's so hard to believe that she will be ONE in less than 3 months!
I want to savor each new phase as it comes!

I can't believe she is that old!! I need to meet her! Your girls are so sweet, Sienna is looking at their photos with me and saying she wants Jocee and Sophie to play at Pop Pop's house. I guess she thinks that is where cousins come together to play??

If you guys are ever wanting to go on a trip, the Sitton's cabin is open again! Just a thought, I know Ben is busy, but it would be fun!
