Sittin' Pretty!
Pittsburgh is a super nice city! Who knew?! Super nice to us equals feeling safe with Soph, clean streets, open businesses, working people, restaurants, parks, and arts. This is a walking and working downtown. There are all kinds of people on the street and it feels very urban and familiar...like New York...actually, more like Chicago. There is also a lot of cool architecture.
We stayed at the Doubletree Hotel downtown and it was really nice. We got a one bedroom suite, which was the perfect set-up. The doorman, Jeff, and the ladies behind the check-in counter were so sweet and totally in love with Sophia. Who wouldn't be?!
I left Soph with my Aunt in the lobby while I ran to get something. When I came back, the staff is surrounding Sophie and playing with her. The lady behind the counter is dancing as she cuts red paper for Sophie's entertainment. She brings out the best in people.
Soph and I have reinstated our daily walks with the return of nice weather.
Although Soph isn't fully crawling yet, she can do the movement to get herself forward. It's just the continued motion that we are working on. Lots of times in an effort to get her knees pumping, she will just pull her leg up under her, with her foot flat on the ground, next to her butt and push as if she is trying to stand.
Lisa's Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin are in Pittsburgh for a convention this weekend and are soaking up some serious Sophie time. Jackie and Jonathan hung out Saturday and Sunday afternoon. They were teaching some awesome crawling techniques and I had so much fun watching them play with Sophie. Soph was plum worn out by the end of the day though. We still are finding her stuck on her hands and knees in the middle of the night. She's practicing! It's so sweet. She just looks a little dazed and confused when we turn her back over, but she just slides right back into sleep. We do give her a minute to see if she can help herself, but we like being mommy and daddy and lending a hand to our sleepy girl.
