11

As of yesterday Sophia is officially 11 months old. I am absolutely floored that it has already been almost a year since Sophia was born!! This time last year I was as big as a house and quite miserable. What a difference a year makes huh? I am having so much fun with Sophia and I am very lucky to be able to stay home with her. I really love our time together!
As usual Sophia is constantly changing and growing, for example:

Sophia has 11 teeth (I think, I can't really get a very good look without putting my fingers in her mouth and that is just way too dangerous!)

After 10 months of waking up every 2 hours at night, we finally have bedtime down to a science!! At about 7:30 we start getting ready for bed, I give Sophia a bottle and we cuddle and then I put her in her bed with her blankie (the blankie is a key part of the bedtime routine) and say "goodnight" and leave the room and she goes to bed. She usually wakes up once around 3 a.m, has a small bottle and sleeps until 8. Oh my, can I tell you how wonderful it feels to get a whole 5 hours or so of sleep at a time!! I am a new woman.

I have a feeling Sophia will be walking around the time of her birthday. She is cruising all around the coffee table and loves to hold onto my hands and walk around the living room. I find this pretty amazing considering my little munchkin didn't even roll over until she was about 6 months old! Now there is no stopping her.

Pointing is another new thing. Sophia learned to point at things she wants or finds interesting and well, she is constantly pointing.

Well it is getting to be late and I think that's about it for now. I have been kind of lame about taking pictures lately so I will post some new ones soon.
