Walking and Talking

Sophie has been busy practicing her new skills! Walking is her primary mode of transportation now, although occasionally we find her crawling still. She is also talking up a storm! Most of her talking is a constant chatter of nonsense words, but she clearly thinks she's talking like everyone else. Her favorite word now is "up", but she says it to mean "pick me up" and also to mean "put me down." We're trying to teach her to say "water" since we have to drink a lot in the desert, but for some reason she hasn't quite picked that one up yet. Soon enough she'll be talking my ear off, and I'll be grateful for some 2-way conversation during the day!
