Quarantine

You got it. We have been sick. Low grade fever and stomach woes. For David it lasted about 2 days, for me I am on day three, though I am on the mend. We each were quarantined to our room for about a day, to prevent Sophia from exposure, and so far it has worked. Pray she doesn't get this bug. Thankfully we were not sick at the same time so we could take care of each other and Sophia. Many blessings in the misery.

In all this time Sophia has slowly started to eat veggies, starting with the green leafy veg found in the Tofu soup we often get at restaurants. This completely surprised us, it could have something to do with the oil involved. Corn of course she eats, because this area has the sweetest corn you have ever tasted. She has even started eating carrots again. And then there is the spaghetti... she shovels that in until her face turns orange (including her forehead, how in the world it ends up up there I will never know).

The biggest development is that she can stand up on her own from the floor. She doesn't do it much, and we have yet to get it on film, but she can do it! However we haven't heard any more 'mamas', 'dadas', or seen any new teeth.

The picture below has nothing to do with this post but it is one of my favorites. It is from January, Sophia was almost seven months.

Sophia with Grandma Pinnie, they adored one another during their visits,
we miss you Grandma!
