That’s her baby monitor she is playing with. She has just learned that it plays music.

My Big Girl

Sophie was such a huge help watching Joey again. They were both so kind to each other. Sophie talked to Joey and comforted him. Joey tried not to look too afraid of Sophie.

Sophie is getting braver with her steps. She walked across the kitchen this evening with no incentive, but plenty of praise afterward. We are hoping she’ll be more proficient by her doctor’s appt. in a couple weeks. She is becoming a more independent eater, too.

Baby-sitters Club

Sophie and I arrived bright and early to hang out with Joey. She dove right in to her responsibilities.

Sophie has been so helpful. She keeps Joey company,

gives him kisses,

and cheers him on during tummy time.

She is especially good at shoving his paci in his mouth. (We are still working on “gentle”.) After all that work, a girl deserves a good breakfast.

(Contrary to that face, she devoured her breakfast, powdered sugar included.)
