Sofia-8 months old

• She is full fledge crawling everywhere. Started crawling on Aug 2, 2008
• Started pulling herself up on the furniture on August 26,2008
• First tooth on August 19, 2008,  bottom left in the front,
• Second tooth the next day On August 20,  right next to the first one
• She is babbling all the time,  right now it is mostly Dadadada,  she also says something that sounds like goo.  So Daddy will calls her "Goo".  
• She can now drink from sippy cup and a regular cup and she loves it.  She has not mastered a straw yet but loves to play with them. 
• She loves eating big people food.  She kind of gets upset when you feed her baby food and we are eating something that looks much more interesting.  She loves graham crackers, bread and stick of carrot or apple. Because she can hold and feed those to herself.  She loves fruit and gets mad and won't eat much when I try to feed her vegetables.  
• Her favorite thing to play with is paper. She rips it, eats it, waves it in the air and crawls all over it. 
• She loves books,  and loves pulling herself up on the basket and throwing them out.  Her favorites are whatever Noah is reading at the time.  She loves  My Pal Al, Board book Princess,  My first Alphabet,  Look and Feel Colors,  That's Not My Monster and Mommy Loves Me
• Her favorite toys right now are her Star Wars sqeaky toys that they bought for her at disneyland, (I think it is because she sees Noah playing with the same guys), V-tech playing table,  Baby Einstein Music cube,  Baby Radio, Barbie Princess Pegasus Polar Bear that shakes with cold (funniest thing ever),  Noah's measuring Caliper from his tool set and Noah's blue crocs.  (For some reason she is completely fasinated with Noah's shoes,  if she sees them she races to get them and eats them,  Maybe his toe cheese is really yummy,  Noah  has started hiding his shoes from her)
• loves Pat a Cake the most , then itsy bitsy spider and then "This is the way the Lady rides"
• Noah can make her laugh the most.  She is so much easier to get to smile and laugh now.  If he says Dadada it cracks her up for a good 5 minutes.  She follows him with her eyes and crawls after him trying to engage him.  He still smothers her with love but she laughs and likes it a bit more now.  Not quite as frightening as in the past.
• Brightens up when Dad comes home and now follows mommy around the house and cries if I go up the stairs without her in my arms.  
• She is just a joy and into everything.  She puts everything in her mouth so we have to be careful and watch what she is doing.  Noah is good to let me know.  We just love her and can't get enough of her cuteness.
