Bad blogger

What can I say? Life as I knew it no longer exists -- Sofia is mobile. My blogging time is now spent keeping her out of the fireplace, taking dog kibble out of her hands and generally trying to prevent life-threatening injuries. These distractions are quite fine by me, as it also takes my mind off our never-ending winter, just made even more gray by a lovely layer of ash from one of Mt. Redoubt's eruptions.

We've otherwise been staying busy fending off the stomach flu, celebrating birthdays, teaching dance (that one's just me), and chasing the Sof-ster. She's getting smarter and smarter every day, watching what I do and then trying it out herself. She's turning the pages of books when we read to her, she "combs" her hair, and has figured out how to open numerous things she should not be opening. She sure has a knack for turning everything she touches into a potential injury.

And, of course, the walking! See for yourself:



P.S. My b-day present was a new video camera. Now I can actually upload videos onto my computer! Yaaay! Be prepared for tons of gratuitous baby footage.
