Of martinis and pickles

As we cruise disturbingly quickly toward Sofia's first birthday, the milestones keep piling up. I'm currently getting a gas out of the following:

- She turns the pages of the book when we read, and that's regular pages, not board books. Also, she's consistently doing it with her left hand, so I think it's pretty certain that she's a lefty.
- She's latched onto my "uh-ohs" when she drops something and is now almost saying it herself. A lot.
- She dances any time a beat is created. When we turn music on, someone claps, etc. She's got the clapping thing down, too.
- She loves pickles and spinach. Not at the same time, though that wouldn't surprise me. She spits out Cheerios, but goes crazy for pickles and spinach.
- She FLIPS OUT with excitement when Daddy shakes the martini shaker. I don't know how this even got started, but she can be at her most grumpy and when that shaking starts...look out. Party animal here we come.
- She really loves the vacuum cleaner. This is to the point where it's actually difficult for me to vacuum because she follows me around and tries to grab the vacuum or the cord.
- Hmmm. The last two points bode well for the future -- just give her a martini and a vacuum cleaner and let her go to town. Just kidding. Or...maybe not??

She stands!

She crawls!

She loves her tongue!


She wants to eat the camera!


A laugh a minute, that's for sure.
