Definitely very happy cycling around – we headed off for what I thought would be a quick spin but she decided to go for coffee (ie. “cake”) in town so we went right into the town and stopped for food, and then back again. Thankfully I wasn’t required to carry both the bike and Sophie home.

OK I know it’s sideways. Reminds me of Ronan videoing Fin’s wedding on Angela’s camcorder – we had to turn a portable telly on it’s side to watch it. Another archive video from I think August 2005. Sophie headbanging to Greenday on the radio. I kept turning it down and she kept turning it right back up again. Finally she bangs her head on the steering wheel and gets really annoyed. Not a huge Greenday fan myself (the whole neo-punk thing seems a little forced after 1979 although I like their politics), but Sophie has an eclectic taste shall we say!

I originally posted a tiny video from the Nokia 7610 showing the first time she let go of the furniture and headed off by herself. Well I found this video from the Nikon about 20 minutes later which I can now present in it’s full glory, for the first time, directors cut. Having seen her starting to walk I trailed her every move with the camera that evening and caught her for the first time going to the middle of the floor and standing up unaided – you can see the look of achievement on her face.
Sophie will be three in a few weeks and I thought it might be nice to put up some older stuff for you to enjoy!

That’s a satellite dish cable she’s chewing on by the way!

Sophie was very good with Cian at the weekend – spoonfed him is dinner (fish pie), didn’t get annoyed when he pulled her hair, climbed over her and everything else in his path, and was very patient with him. He’ll be walking very soon – probably by the next time we see him so she’ll really get a kick out of him then. Probably literally.

…. as it was nicked from my car at the weekend. At least they didn’t get this video. From our trip to Terryglass on our last day in Nenagh a few weeks ago — Sophie dancing to Rock around the clock!
