8 months

Hi Everyone,

We are doing this months blog a few days early this month because I'll be on vacation with Mommy on my 8 month birthday. We're headed to Michigan, so I know next month I'll have a lot to share with you. This month has been pretty exciting too! The first weekend was Memorial Day. We celebrated with the Polacek family. We had a cookout and went swimming in the pool with Daddy, Eric and Luke.

The week after Memorial Day Uncle Brandon came to visit us. He's pretty funny, and we had a great time.

Shortly after he left, Mommy got out of school for the summer. We are so excited to spend time together this summer. We started going to our Summer Fun group and we visited the petting farm. I got to pet a goat, sheep, pig and chicken.

Last weekend was Father's Day. We took Daddy to lunch and spent the whole day together.

I am really working on crawling now. I am pushing up off of the floor and scoot backward really well. I can even push myself up from the floor to sit now

I am learning so quickly. The other day Daddy even caught me standing up in my crib.

I love to read and be read to. Daddy and I have been doing a lot of reading together.

I'm trying to crawl but just can't figure out how to coordinate my hands and feet.

I also love to clap my hands!

7 months old!

Well, it's been another really busy month at our house. We celebrated Mommy's first Mother's Day and it was really nice. Daddy and I got her a locket so that she can always carry us with her. She loved it!

The next weekend, was my buddy Luke's first birthday! He had an awesome party, it was a Mickey Mouse party. I got to try cake for the first time, got in the "hot" tub with Daddy and had a great time meeting new friends.
















It has been really hot here in Florida, so I go swimming A Lot! Most of the time Luke and I go swimming at Lisa's house, but because I love it so much Mommy and Daddy got me a little pool for our house. It is so much fun to splash in and cool off a little bit.

I have been doing really well practicing my sitting, rolling over, and I am even working on crawling. I haven't figured out how to go forward yet but I am pushing up off the floor, and scoot backward pretty well. Mom thinks that I'll be moving in no time.

Well, that's about all for this month. Next month is going to be so much fun, we are going to Michigan to see everyone. We can't wait.

Love you,

Sophia
