Eight Months

It seems like I just posted her 7 month pictures...these months are going by way to fast! Sophie is starting to understand what her knees are used for. She gets up on them, but doesn't quite know how to use them yet. That doesn't mean she isn't fast with her army crawl though, she knows exactly where she wants to go and she's there within seconds. She gets so happy when we come to get her out of her crib. Once you pick her up she buries her face in your shoulder and gives you a little hug. She loves Otter Pops. When she sees her dad with one she puts her lips together and folds them inside her mouth, then makes a high pitched noise that sounds like she has a hoarse voice. Once she found these leaves next to her she wouldn't stop picking them up and putting them in her mouth.

Ashlan passed a cold onto her, so she has been pretty stuffy lately. We stood in line at the Davis Conference Center last week to get the H1N1 vaccine in the cold rain and I wonder if that had anything to do with them getting sick, or even the shot itself. We hope this winter season will be good for us and we can stay clear of any type of flu.
