Walking 6-8 steps unassisted :)

Sofia gave us till 6am this morning, she must have sensed we needed an extra 15 minutes :). Nani Claire had spent the night and had brekky with Sofia and I. Afterwards I went back to bed whilst Nani Claire played with Sofia. Thank you Nani Claire! We got up and spent a little bit of time with Sofia before putting her to bed.

Claire and I talked whilst Mike went shopping and made us brekky/lunch. Sofia woke up in time so she joined us. I tried to breastfeed her first, but it was too hard for her to breath with the boob in her mouth poor girl – so we skipped it and went straight to lunch. Afterwards Nani Claire went home. Thank you for baby sitting for us Claire! Mike and I played with Sofia. She walked 6-8 steps between us today. And a couple of times went a couple of steps between toys/furniture. She’s walking, she just can’t get back up herself without holding into something – although I’m hardly helping with that anymore either… Then it’s was time for her afternoon nap and Mike and I went back to bed again.

When Sofia woke up she had a snack and then we all went to the dog park. There were heaps of dogs there and Pablo really had a blast. Sofia got more than her share as well and at one point it got a bit much for her that she wanted to walk away. Then I realised she was chasing a blue ball around. Every time the owner threw it Sofia started walking towards it. Then the dog picked it up and went back to the owner so Sofia turned around. So funny. Afterwards we went back home and talked to Mormor Jette whilst Sofia had dinner and a bit of a walk and play on the slide. It was nice to say hi and to wish her a great exhibition in Charleston, South Carolina. Afterwards it was time for the nighttime routine. Once again Sofia protested a lot being put to bed and clinging on to me. She also kept crying for a few minutes so I went back in and calmed her down (stroke her tummy until she was getting sleepy) before leaving her again. She cried for another few minutes before quietening down.
