Adjustment

WOW. As I write this, there have been 95 votes on our blog for Sophie's baby contest picture. THANK YOU. I'm in amazement. I can't believe that many of you have been to my blog to vote, and Sophie and I both feel honored. Ben doesn't really care. Ha ha, yes he does, and he was excited that the crazy hair bathtub pic is the front runner; it's his favorite. There is one day left to vote, but it seems pretty obvious that we'll be submitting that picture. If you haven't seen it, you can see it on the post right before this one. We'll make sure to keep you all updated, although we won't know anything for a few months still.

We are adjusting to life here in Wichita. Ben likes his job so far, and he especially likes the people he works with. Sophie and I are getting used to being at her Grandma's all the time. She loves having Grandma, Grandad and Uncle Jeremy around to give her lots of attention. It definitely feeds right into her Drama Queen profile. Jeremy went with me and Sophie on a walk yesterday afternoon - the weather was gorgeous. Here is a pic of our Sun Bunny before the walk.

Sophie still isn't crawling, which is probably a blessing, as I doubt that my parents' house is child-proofed. But, since I'm a therapist and want my child to develop in some semblance of normalcy, it drives me BANANAS that she's 9 & 1/2 months and not crawling. She is, however, pulling up and cruising all over the place. All the TVs are in higher positions here, so we can't really sit her down in front of one for Sesame Street or Baby Einstein. Instead, I put my laptop on the fireplace and put on a Baby E there. Soph no longer sits still for her videos, though. Almost before the video starts, she's pulling up onto her knees or into a standing position, and she'll stand there and play and watch her video. It's so funny. Below is a pic.

You've just gotta love the fat, squishy legs. Oh, I adore them.
