Baby Gate?

Yesterday, I caught Sophie crawling through the cat door on the baby gate. Luckily, she stopped, because she was unable to figure out how to get her knees over the bottom bar. Mitties does not know how to open the little door, but maybe Sophie will show her how.

She is really starting to explore new toys and objects and I can't believe that she will be a year old in two weeks. January went by fast because she had two ear infections, which kept us up several nights. She has had four ear infections since October and she has an ENT appointment on Monday. I really hope that he agrees to put tubes in her ears, because she has been a a happier baby this past week.

Sophie loves to take baths. When she wants to take a bath, she will crawl into the bathroom and look into the bathtub. She also loves to splash so much that it looks like I washed her hair in this photo, but I didn't that night.

Lillie learned how to zip her coat a couple of weeks ago and she can count to 60 with little help. Today, I started writing a "word of the week" on her bathroom mirror. She is eager to learn new things. Last week, Brian taught her our phone number. She has a Valentine's Day party at School next week and she is excited to write out the names of her classmates on the valentines. Well, it is time to go pick her up from school.
