7.5

7.5 month old Sophie loves to wave hi and bye, clap her fists together with excitement, "talk", and raise her toys above her head using two hands. She has now started standing up from a seated position while holding on to her exersaucer, chairs, or the window seat. In the crawling department, she continues to combine an army crawl with a reach-lurch technique. There is forward motion, but it's not graceful! Here are some photo highlights of the week:

(Sophie tells Daddy a passionate story with gestures!)

(D and S enjoy the sun...finally!!)

(S will roll, scoot, or reach-lurch to play with her toys. I was in the kitchen the other day and came around the corner to see her kneeling. Adorable!)

(This is just a classic Sophie face!)
