Another busy week in the King household. Sophie has been enjoying herself playing outside on the deck after Kids Klub each day and we’ve made countless trips to the park, beach and even spent a few hours at Western Springs playground and park last weekend too.

Fun on the deck

Lately, Sophie has been trying really hard to talk too. She’s saying the odd word like ‘ball’, star’ and 'naa-na' (for banana) – and a few others which all sound very cute, but the biggest change I’ve noticed, is the fact you can now talk to her, and she appears to understand most of what you’re saying. E.g. The three of us were playing around in our bedroom upstairs this morning, and then I said to Sophie “go and get your camera Soph…it’s down stairs in your toy box” – Sophie then gives a huge smile and goes racing out of the room, clambers down 3 flights of stairs, talking out loud (but making no sense at all) – then two minutes later she runs into the room, proudly displaying her little baby camera…and then yells out “YAY!” and starts clapping her hands wildly!

Running a million miles an hour around Western Springs-
Daddy telling Sophie a funny joke...it consisted of me simply saying "boo!"

Next weekend, Ingrid and I are off to a wedding in Gisborne. Nana and Aunty Nicky are coming up from the Naki to look after Sophie. This will be the first occasion that both of us have been away from Sophie for longer than a few hours…hard to believe. It will be sad obviously being away from her, but she will be in good hands, and both Ingrid and I are looking forward to spending a couple of relaxing days to ourselves too.
