So Close to Crawling and More!

Ricky predicted this month that Sophie would be crawling. I think he may be right. This little girl wants to get moving so bad!! She's also starting to pull herself up on things and had taken a liking to the DVD player and drawers in the bonus room (see below). I'm starting to transition her to the 3rd foods and trying to give her some "finger" foods (not working so well). She's going to be getting some more teeth very soon, so frustrating for all that they are not here yet. Poor thing seems very uncomfortable at night and has been waking up often in the middle of the night. It looks like the top 4 are on their way (and that's only because I see then up there, she WILL NOT let me feel in her mouth). She's a babbling fool, says "da da" like a champ and is making "ba" sounds. No mama yet :(

Cooper River Bridge Run next week!! My last race until the fall. This weekend I did a lot of running. Saturday morning, since it was so nice out, I got up and ran through the neighborhood. Then this morning I ran the bridge with some friends. It was WINDY and very difficult running against the wind coming back over the bridge but good practice for next weekend.

Enjoy some pics of our watermelon head. Yes, you heard me right, we call our daughter watermelon head. It all started back when Sophie was a couple of months old she was wearing this outfit that had watermelon's all over it. Ricky just started calling her watermelon head and it just kind of stuck. She likes it for now, but I'm sure she won't appreciate it so much when she gets older. That's going to be the "theme" for her 1st birthday. Watermelons. It may be silly, but I think it's cute. Kind of fitting for a Summer birthday too.
