Yesterday, we had our first snow of the season!!! It started snowing while I was teaching ESOL and the kids were home with the "World's Bestest Babysitter," Darian. On my way home, I stopped at Chic-Fil-A to pick up some chicken noodle soup--I couldn't think of a better meal for on the go. While we were eating our lunch, Darian's two younger brother's came over because they were out playing in the snow. Then another one of the youth came over once she got off from school. Darian made a special treat that I had never had before--snow ice cream. It was very good treat. Then one of our friends brought her three kids over to hang out with us. While everyone was here, we made some CHRISTmas ornaments out of applesauce and cinnamon. If you look in the December Album, you will see some pictures from our first snow day. As you will see, we had quite a bit of fun. Today, Josiah and I went outside for a little bit to play in the snow while Sophie took a nap...of course, I got some pictures.
On a side note...Sophie is now standing up using anything she can grab on to. The other day, she was side stepping along the couch to get a book. Once she got the book, she stood there all by herself. I have a feeling she will be taking off soon, and I think I should be VERY afraid!!!!
She is also doing well with her signing. She can do "more", "milk",
"all done." We are still working on "please" and "thank you." She is
starting to recognize some words on her videos and will do our special
sign or sound. The words she knows are "clap," "gorilla," "arms up,"
"mouth," and sometimes "ears." We are so very proud of what she is
learning already at just 11 months old.
