11

Sophie turned 11 months last week. Already she's seeming more like a toddler and less like a baby. She walks/almost runs everywhere. Seems to turn 'deaf' when we're calling her name or saying no to something she knows not to do, and points to the Cheerios box when she's hungry. Still no real words, although she did say cat about a month ago, which she hasn't repeated much lately. Just a lot of "bah" "dah" "gah"'s.

We finally rented the first season of Heroes on Netflix and it's awesome. We're only 4 shows into the season but I can't wait to see what happens next. Great characters and story. And there's a "Simone" in the show!

I've been doing Weight Watchers to jump start my losing the extra 15 I'm carrying around. I'm not really a member, but Shaina is helping me with the points system and what to do and so far it's going ok. I definitely lost a few pounds as my pants are looser, but we don't own a scale so I won't know until I weigh myself this weekend in LI.

This Democratic race is dragging on forever and seems it's going to go to the bitter end in August. Definitely not what I hoped for, nor anyone else. It's getting dirtier and dirtier, but of course less so at the hands of Obama than the others. But that's to be expected.

Here's a video I just took a few minutes ago of Sophie playing with her Fisher Price Laugh n' Learn Puppy,.Of course I know all these songs by heart now.
