Mile Stone Mania

Over the weekend, Will was home sick, and I was feeling a little sluggish trying to fight off his cooties, so we spent most of the weekend just hanging around the house together. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a product of all the focused attention, but Sophia has done several new things just over the past 2-3 days.
Sophia has been on a month long hiatus from rolling over, but she has now started rolling over with a vengence! If you lay her on her tummy, it'll take her 1-2 seconds tops to roll onto her back. She's literally doing it in her sleep now! She also pulled up for the first time using the pole on her swing. We took a picture of her right afterwards and she couldn't look more proud.
Sophia has learned to make rasberries with her mouth, and it's the cutest little thing. She'll do it again and again, like a little motor boat! She also started using her thumb and index finger to grasp things (her pincer grasp). When I realized she was doing this, I started giving her Cheerios to practice with. Trent is really excited about this because he gets to eat all the Cheerios she drops.
She loves to have us hold her underneath her arms so she can "walk" but it's not the most ergonomic activity, so I bought her this baby walker in the hopes it'll save our backs some wear and tear. She hasn't really gotten the hang of it yet, but I have feeling she'll be cruising around soon. Here she is with her walker showing off one of her newest tricks: holding on with one hand. When I was taking the picture of her holding on, the little dare devil looked me straight in the eye...and let go!! Daddy was right there to grab her before she fell, but we caught the moment on camera. What a little stinker!!
Sophia also had her second tooth come up, which was a relief to us all. After it popped up, she slept 12 hours straight through that night - YEAH!
She had yet another first this weekend - her first time to fall alseep while playing.
After all that hard work, it's no wonder she was so exhausted!
