Nothin' much happening around our house...

Free time has been pretty scarce in the Howe house lately, as Dave and I have both been very busy with school and work. Even now I am blogging not because I have time, but because I don't feel like doing the work that I really should be doing. Sigh...

Sophie, on the other hand, has had plenty of time to explore and show us every part of our house that is not baby proofed. She is a crawling master and pulls up on everything. Today she started standing up in the bath tub, crawled behind the toilet while I was showering (gross), discovered the kitchen garbage can and pulled out a few paper towels to munch on, and found the stairs (I knew they couldn't hide forever). I am trying to figure out the right balance between letting her explore and stopping her from cracking her head open. Oh this baby....

Helping me with some laundry

Playing with the dishwasher is always a favorite activity, especially if silverware is within reach

Shoving her burp cloth into the VCR (sorry, bad iPad pic) - can you tell Dave "combed" her hair?

Wishing she could go outside to play

Reading in her room - she is starting to discover that books are better for looking at than eating
