Sophie's Video #11

19 NOVEMBER 2006: THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BLOG. PLEASE EMAIL US IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY.

Here is Sophie's latest video, which Mindy filmed two weeks ago Saturday and last Sunday. It's a little long to compensate for our busyness lately--with classes starting up, it's sometimes hard to find the energy to edit and format the video, which takes about an hour. But hopefully we're getting back on track now.

Sophie's getting better and better with hand-eye coordination now, which you can see well in the video. It's been fun to watch her continue to develop. Her movements are still limited enough on her own that she only puts in her mouth what's close to her, but once she starts moving around, we'll have to be a lot more careful.

We had a nice morning yesterday outside. It was nice and cool, so we all sat outside for breakfast and some reading. (Sophie took a nap for most of the time.) Last week we took our longest walk ever, just over one mile to the Deutschklub's (German Club's) "Stammtisch," where people gather to speak German informally. Sophie's become the unofficial Deutschklub mascot, I think, and definitely helped bring people over to its table at a student activities fair during the first week of school. Here's a picture of Sophie there, sporting a pirate's eye patch. I'm not really sure which group was using eyepatches as a give-away.
