Sofia Katherine Jackson: My First Word and other news.

So it is official, today I said my first discernible word, "Mama." It is only fair after all, that I say Mama first when she does everything for me. Benjamin said Dada first, so I figure this is the least I can do for my Mom who I adore.

In other news, I stood up all by myself on Sunday. We were all hanging out in the living room after dinner and I pulled up on my Mom and let go. She laughed and said I looked like I was taking snowboarding lessons. Dad and Grandpa were too enthralled in the TV to look, but Grandma is a witness too.

Mostly I spend my days following Benjamin's every move. He leaves a trail of cookie crumbs or something else delicious behind him, and you never know when he might drop his sippy cup. It is always filled with something MUCH better than the stuff they feed me from a bottle. I coo and giggle a lot and love to eat crayons. I don't give my Mom much of a break from chasing me or cleaning up after Ben, but I am happy and still don't mind much when I am diverted or thwarted in my attemps to have the things I am not supposed to.

And, for your viewing pleasure, here are some recent pictures of me.

This one was taken at the beach. I ate the sand. And, I didn't mind. These were going to be Christmas card pictures, but I think you can agree, none are really worthy of the project.
