Another one for the puppy love gallery

Sofia has always loved the dogs, but the thrill has apparently kicked up a notch recently. She squeals and giggles with sheer delight when she touches them, and loves watching them shake their ears, growl at each other...pretty much anything. And Lucy clearly returns the affection.

In other Sofia news, she has mastered the letter "b." Our house is almost constantly filled with a lovely baby chorus of "babababababababababa." This is then, of course, followed by John saying "dadadadadada" and me saying "mamamamamama." Not that we're competitive about this or anything.

Because no Caselli should be without one, Sofia just received her first punching bag from Grandma Caselli. It's a toss up as to who actually enjoys it more -- Sofia or the dogs. Either way, it's a great toy and good for lots of giggles. Thanks Grandma!
