Update

Grandma Mallory came to visit us last weekend, it was wonderful! That's the one downside to being on the road, being so far away from our families. That's the whole reason I started this blog. Plus it helps me write down all the cute stuff that happens so I won't forget. When Sophie is graduating high school we can look back and have these blog posts here to remind us how she used to be.
Anyway, Grandma, Sophie and I went to Universal Studios and had a great time. There were hardly any people on a Sunday and no lines for anything. Sophie met Dora the Explorer, Bart Simpson and was a total sweetheart. Of course, she has no idea who those characters are, but anyway...
















































































SO! Lots of stuff happened within the last week! Sophie is CRAWLING!
She is clapping and waving now too!
She is a pro at eating finger foods! She even uses her pincer grasp and puts them in her mouth herself! This is a HUGE milestone! Her favorite are the sweet potato puffs, green puffs and Cheerios. Here is a video of her eating a puff, then showing me it's "all gone!" [Note: make sure your sound is off, I may have squealed excitedly a little bit during the filming of this puff being demolished.]
