Nothing Much Going On

Nothing new to report, just struggling through the month of February. For me this is the most depressing month because you know spring is around the corner, but it's still winter and cold. We are all ready for warmer weather!! Did the groundhog see his shadow? I don't even know.

Sophie is still as cool as ever. No new teeth but I think she's working on them. I predict the one of the uppers will come next. They look like they are going to pop through at any moment. She's officially rolling over in her sleep now. Scared the crap out of me when I first walked in her nursery one night to check and she was completely on her tummy. I'm starting to get used to the idea of it all and resisting my urge to flip her back onto her back. Everyone says it's normal at the age and the SIDS risk has decreased by now (which is what I am most afraid of). She's starting to get herself on her tummy a lot more lately when she's playing. She kicks her little legs and looks like she really wants to crawl, but just can't get there. She holds onto me or something while standing, and loves to bob up and down like she's dancing to music. It's the cutest thing ever and the ladies at daycare get a kick out of it. They chant "go Sophie, go Sophie, go Sophie" and she just laughs and smiles!

Running has been going great. I run a 5k this weekend at the Save the Light race on Folly Beach. My goal is to improve my time, would like to be around 28:45 or so. Then it's back to my 10k races, I've got 2 in March, and then race season is pretty much done until September.

Up and coming races:

Save the Light 5k, Folly Beach - this weekend
Flowertown Festival 10k, Summerville - March 13th
Cooper River Bridge Run 10k, Charleston - March 27th

I'm still on track, as far as my training goes, to run the Kiawah Half Marathon in December. Other than that, we're all happy and healthy in 2010!

Would you believe it if I told you I've already started planning Sophie's first birthday? Now I know it's only February but if I don't start now, June will sneak up on me and I want her to have a nice first birthday. You only turn 1 once :) I don't think I'm going to have a particular theme for her party, saving all my cool ideas for the next couple of years. She's growing so fast!!
