Walking has finally "clicked" with Sophia and she is walking all over. Still at bit wobbly at times but if she falls she gets right back up!
and sometimes she gets so excited when she starts walking that she can't stay upright:
And how could I leave this video out. This is how we spend some of our evenings-"driving" around the yard:
Sorry I seem to be only posting once a week.....just not much happening around here lately EXCEPT that Sophia turns 1 in 2 weeks...I can't even believe it!
This afternoon the weather was beautiful again. After church we wanted to go somewhere outside and settled on the Garfield Park Conservatory. We hopped in the car and took the quick drive over there and explored for a few hours. Sadly enough a hailstorm recently damaged a bunch of the greenhouse windows so not all the rooms were open....but just enough to still enjoy a nice afternoon:)
I've been wanting to make a terrarium FOREVER....this weekend Nikki and I finally made some. We went to a hobby store in Berwyn on Saturday to pick up some little people-like the kind you use for train sets.. They had so many to choose from but we finally settled on the Active People set. Today we gathered moss from around my house...surprisingly enough we had more than enough..and we added some sand, sticks and our little people. It turned out SO cool and I now have the desire to make more! I just need to find a cheap place to buy the little people!:)
These are not the best pictures...it was a bit hard to capture the cuteness of this thing:)
The weather this afternoon was so wonderful that we decided to hope on the el and head downtown for a few hours. We went to Crown Fountain, the Bean, and just walked around Millennium Park. Sophia had a blast and we had fun just being together.
so chalk one up for another new thing I am obsessed with:
Today I bought some little Stride Rite Shoes for Sophia at a consignment store. Would you even believe I paid 6 bucks for them?! I am not a "pay 6 bucks for something used" type of person BUT considering these are normally $20/30 bucks I figured $6 was a pretty good deal. Sophia was a big fan of her shoes and loved walking in them even more than barefoot.
How could I forget to mention this yesterday! Sophia took her first steps on Saturday. She has been cruising the furniture all over the house and standing up all by herself. BUT she finally took steps to Ben and I ....oh boy....nothing like making our life 10 times busier now:)
She also took her first el ride. Yep...we hopped on the el to meet up with Ben in Chicago for a reception. She seems to be a fan of public transportation!
