Still Standing

Sophia is officially starting the standing process...

everyday she is getting braver with letting go

of whatever it was she pulled up on.

(She is starting to remind me of the butler

in Mr. Deeds that just shows up standing beside

Adam Sandler without making a sound.

That's Sophia now.

You turn and boom.

She's standing beside you.)

This morning in her PJs still.

Wanting to know what I was doing

at the table...if food was involved.

She's furniture surfing in this shot.
I put the Coke box in front of the door
so she could watch the birds, boats, and squirrels.
She can just barely see over when she's flat footed.
She likes to wave at the lake too!

This was an unbelievable moment...
she was playing with Derek.
With help crawled up into the seat, got her

Barbie fishing rod...and stood there...

for forever! Then sat down, like "what?"

"Why is everybody staring?"

I actually had the camera

in my hand at the time...

She stood furniture free for several seconds

several different times while playing with Steve.
I didn't want her to see the camera.

On the boat.
She's big into driving the boat too!
Again, can't sit-gotta stand now.
