We enjoyed a special week with Sophie's "MB" (D's mum). (The name MB originates from a nickname that Doug had for his mum.) Here are some photos, pre-nap, so Sophie was a bit exhuasted during the photo shoot!
Sophie thrived with Cathy. One of the highlights of this week was a story about Elizabeth, Doug's maternal grandmother, that Cathy shared with the three of us. My brief summary of this beautiful story will not do it justice, but it's too important not to include in this post: Because of the way she was raised, Elizabeth vowed to be a mum who would run and jump and play with her children. She did run and jump and play with all 6 of her children and subsequently, all of her 16 grandchildren, including Doug. As an adult, Doug met his own Elizabeth (me!) and he now runs and jumps and plays with his sweet daughter, Sophie. Cathy lovingly told this story to Sophie during their days together, and she kindly put it into writing for us. It is a wonderful story of love, of family, and of joy. Sophie was so loved and nurtured this week; thank you, MB!
She is still scooting backward! And, she has become much more talkative and interactive. Despite the fact that our conversations don't include English words, we still understand one another! I will admit that she's dangerously close to saying "da da"....but trust me, saying "ma ma" is much harder so I'm at a disadvantage!
