More changes

Sophia is now pulling herself up to standing all over the house. She gets so proud of herself! She giggles when she's doing something she knows she should not be doing. It's just so cute. I wonder how long until she is walking?!

LA

Last weekend we went to LA for a few days. We met my sister, two brothers, their spouses and children, and all stayed at my parents' house. It was a little chaotic but lots of fun! We spent a lot of time by the pool, and ventured out the beach one morning. Saturday we also had some of my cousin's over for a pool party, and birthday celebration. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Sophia loved the pool! She kicked and splashed 

Yummy avocado

She also loved playing at the beach. Amazingly, she did not try to eat the sand!

11 months and growing!

On April 7th, Sophia hit the 11 month mark! All I can think about is where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday that she was in my belly, and now she's here, 11 months old, crawling everywhere, and into everything. I just can't believe how fast time is flying by. This past week she pulled herself up to standing by the couch. Here words are mama, dada, Gucker (Tucker), gog (dog), and baby. I'm sure that list will grow even more this week. Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days.

Up to no good

Teething is no fun

Yes, she does cry. You can finally see those two bottom teeth!

Talking

It seems like every day our girl is just a little different. She crawls EVERYWHERE now, which is a lot of fun but I can't let her out of my site. She giggles as she crawls towards our shoes, and she loves to play with Tucker's water in his water bowl. Speaking of which, she is giggling right now while making a mess of my shoes! Yesterday she crawled after Tucker saying "Cucker, Cucker" over and over it was adorable. This morning she also said "gog" for dog. It's just so cute!

Crawling

Sophia has gone from a hesitant crawler to a pro! She started crawling a few weeks ago, but never ventured too far. Just these past few days she has realized she can crawl everywhere! She goes into the den, the kitchen, dining room, wherever she feels. No more leaving her to play because I never know where I'll find her if I do. Here's a video of our champ crawler:

Also, she has some new skills, like playing ball with mama. Here's another video:
