On Monday, September 17th, our baby turned into a toddler. Sophia started walking! Wasn't she just born last month?!? Oh, wait! Her birthday is this Friday! Yikes! Time flies.
We were kind of shocked that she just started walking. She's been cruising along furniture for a few weeks, but hasn't shown any interest in standing on her own. We decided to try the same trick we used with Rachel. Sunday night, we got Rachel's doll stroller and had Sophie push it along for awhile. She was squealing with delight as she tried to keep up with the fast stroller.
On Monday, just for fun, I got down on the floor and stood Sophie up out and towards me a few feet and let go of her. She stood there, grinned, and took her first steps. She was so proud of herself--almost as proud as her Mommy!
Ever since then, she has been trying to walk everywhere. When she's on a roll, she even tries to walk when she falls down, crawling/standing upright on her knees. Of course her older siblings are more than happy to help her in her new-found skill.

Way to go Sophie! Now you and Sienna can get into all sorts of trouble.
What a cute picture! I love Steven in the background as he prepares to catch her. :)
