Here are some more videos of Sophie in action this morning. She started her day with some coffee. But only a little!
Thoughtfully she got rid of her coffee breath:
She agreed to demo her walking. Though during shooting she seems to have changed her mind and spent most of the time expressing her own thoughts on the concept and direction:
She was way happier demoing her riding skills:
Post ride thoughts:
Sophie is on the move.
On Friday while at my mom’s house Sophie stood up on her own. I couldn’t believe it when she did it, all I said was stand up and she did it. After doing it a few more times for my mom and sisters I knew it was only a matter of time before she was walking.
We tried to get her to stand up for Sean but she proved to be shy for a few days.
Once Valentines day rolled around she stood up and walked like she could do it all along. Just like with crawling I think she was waiting until she knew she could do it.
The first video proves that she likes to do things on her own time, and that crawling is so much faster.
And here is our little girl standing up and walking just a few days before she turned 17 months old.
My favourite part is when she sits down and claps at the end.
She is still crawling most of the time but she is becoming more and more confident about her walking and I know it wont be long before she is running around the apartment.
We watched a lot of toopy and binoo in Vancouver. I loved the show and the song was really catchy, plus it usually kept Sophie entertained long enough to get some things done.
Since it is a canadian show we knew Sophie, or I, would have to get our toopy and binoo fix on youtube. Sean found a great playlist on youtube that would play episode after episode so I didn’t have to keep coming to the computer every 5 minutes to play the next episode.
As I was doing something in the kitchen one morning I looked over and saw this. How cute is she.
On an exciting and totally related note, Sean found out that the Toopy and Binoo stage show was going to be in Montreal while we were there and I knew we had to go see them. So we are now going to see them live on stage. Only downside is that they are going to be in french, so I will have to sing along to the songs I know in english. I think Sophie is going to love it.
A break in the moving posts to ask you, who is this baby?
Crazy how much Sophie and Sean look alike. I think if it wasn’t for the fact this is a picture of a picture it would be hard to tell the difference. Maybe this next baby will actually look like me :)
It has been a crazy few weeks. In anticipation of Sean getting his visa to move and work in the US we had to establish residency to show the person in Montreal that he will be meeting with.
After finding a place in Northgate, just north of Seattle, we were all set to move in February 1st. We made the decision to pack all of mine and Sophie things up and move them down with a moving truck and then once Sean has his visa we will move all of his stuff.
That left us a week and a half to more or less pack our entire place. Sophie joined in on the fun helping me with the paper out of the shredder.
We got it all packed and with the help of Pedro, Justin and Travis we got the truck packed and ready to head to Seattle in what I think was record time.
More to come in our moving tales…
