Sofia is 11 months old!

Yesterday was Sofias’ 11 months birthday – if such a thing exists 🙂

While we did not do anything extra special, Sofia did manage two major accomplishments: she finally learned how to climb out of bed – feet first :). Mommy’s been trainig her for the last few months. It finally caught on.

And the second accomplishment, she learned how to imitate a cow 🙂 so when I ask her “Sofia, cum face vaca? She responds: mooooooo!”

Oh, the joys of watching your baby grow ……

La Munte (Mt Rainier)

Mommy, daddy and Sofia went to visit Mt Rainier this past weekend. It is the biggest mountain in the state of Washington, standing tall at over 14,000 ft.

The mountain also boasts some big glaciers, so besides it being tall and hard to climb, the glaciers make it even harder.

Of course we didn’t make it that far, we only made it up to Sunrise, which is the highest point you can get to by car, at 6,000 ft.
Here are some pics from our excursion:

Sofia and the lemon

The other night, mommy daddy and Sofia went out to eat at this really nice sushi restaurant overlooking the lake. We were seated outside on the patio, hopping to keep Sofia entertained by looking at the water.

But it didn’t work. She kept trying to get out of her highchair and look at the people behind her. So mommy gave her a lemon, in hopes of distracting her.

Here’s what happened 🙂

Visiting Seattle, part 1

Today we went to see Pike Place, an open air market in downtown Seattle. We had a great brunch at Etta’s, then we walked around the market looking at all the flowers, produce, meats, souvenirs and sidewalk performers, got some great Russian pastries for dessert and coffee from the first Starbucks ever opened, then we hang out on the lawn, by the water watching the birds and the people.

All in all, a great day!
