I hate thinking of titles

So this week was boring again.  Sophie is very mobile and getting into everything.  I spent most of my time chasing her and when I'm not doing that I'm either cleaning her up, or her messes.  She loves to tip over the dog's water dish, and pull things off of shelves.  Last weekend we went through and Sophie proofed as much of the house as we could.  All the bottom shelves and drawers are safe, except for the danger of pinching fingers and falling to bump her head.  She's getting better at both of those though, better at not doing them that is.

Blake is nearly done with his first term at school.  They get out right before his birthday for a 10 day holiday, isn't he lucky! And he gets to spend most of his break harvesting the nuts down at the farm.  That's always fun with the big tree shaker and stuff.  He has moved up to level six in swimming and we now have some morning options so only Monday evening is interupted.  He also lost his 7th tooth.  The tooth fairy has gotten cheap in his old age, each tooth Blake gets less and less money.

Rocky is doing very well with Sophie.  She is really rough with him and he takes it all.  Even when she has a death grip on his hair, he just nibbles at her fingers till she lets go.  He is very gentle back to her.  He likes to go into the linen closet and make a bed.  He takes his naps in the middle of our bed like a king.  

Michael is doing well as far as I can tell.  He doesn't talk to much about anything.  Dancing with the Stars in the US has started so he's addicted to that.  He's taking Blake out running with him as he's training for his triatholon at the end of April.  It's just a baby one but he's doing all three legs.

I'm catching up on projects.  I have Blake's birthday present nearly done.  I just ran out of stuffing for the last pillow.  I should have pictures the next time I post a blog.  I have started on a cross stitch for my sister's new baby.  I'm hoping to have it nearly done by the end of May when he/she is due. 

Sophie now eats her evening meal with us.  It is quite funny to watch (and messy) and she just loves eating what we are eating.

Yup, getting into the drawers.  Pulling everything out. You know, normal kid stuff.

No we are not potty training at 7 months.  Sophie had a really bad nappy rash so we've been giving her lots of naked time.  What do you do when she starts pooping and she's naked?  Well you put her on the toilet of course.  She's used the toilet 7 times at less than 8 months old.  I think that's a record.

Rocky in the closet.

Sophie's first peanut butter sandwich.  She loves it when you don't break it up into small pieces so she can squish it between her fingers.  Oh, and notice Rocky? Yes, he loves feeding time.
