Grinning through the pain

I found out today that Miss Sonia has an ear infection on her right side. Poor baby.... Poor me & poor Andrew, too, though-- Sonia hasn't slept through the night in at least two weeks. I'm starting to get that feeling of dread as bedtime approaches, and even though I've been napping while Sonia naps, I still feel like a zombie at times.

Thankfully, even though Sonia must have been feeling a lot of pain and discomfort lately, she's still managed to have a bunch of fun (with occasional bouts of fussiness). She has been working more on walking.... I'm guessing that her equilibrium might be a bit off due to the ear infection, so I'm interested to see what's going to happen when she starts feeling a bit better. Swim lessons are going well, and although I didn't get any good pictures on Monday, Andrew was able to come with us to lessons on Monday night and see our little fishy in action. Sosi thought it was very cool to swim with her daddy!

My friend, Toni, took this fantastic picture of The Great Sosini on Saturday during our playgroup's family picnic. I love her sweet little smiles!


The other day, Sonia pushed her high chair all the way out of the kitchen, down the hallway, and into the entryway. She's actually getting pretty good at steering! Then, she proceeded to clamber in and out of the space under the seat for a good 10 minutes.



Yesterday, while Sonia was "helping" to clean up our family room after a play date, she decided that she is a toy, so she put herself away in the toy bin. I piled more toys on top of her, which she thought was pretty funny. Silly goose....
