Sophia update - she's 10 months old!

• 3 fangs and one more on the way given how much drool is bucketing from her mouth and how hard she gnaws everything and anything in sight (two lower middle and one top)
• crawling around very expertly and loving playing hide and seek and popping her head around corners and grinning at you and giggling at herself
• pulling herself to stand on everything she can get to; squatting to pick things up while holding on with one hand; letting go of whatever she is holding and standing unaided until she plops back to the ground and gives herself a clap
• clapping in the cutest way possible - banging her hands together in the general direction of each other with a big grin on her face
• loving the gate keeping her in/out of the bathroom depending on where I am - it's something else she can use to stand up
• hooning around fearlessly behind her walker which we have to hold onto until she learns to slow down a bit
• tumbling on a regular basis to the floor, against walls, off things, onto things - like today when we were visiting friends who have floorboards which Sophs found a bit slippery and I didn't get to her in time so she landed on her forehead (I wish she'd put her hands out!) and now has a big black/blue bruise.
  
• being generally delightful, sweet, cheeky, endearing, loveable, cuddly, giggly, inquisitive, determined, funny and the bringer of such joy and happiness into our lives. Who knew that such a little creature could make you feel so amazing??
