Playing the day away

If I had to rate Sophia on a scale of 1-10 on her ability to play on her own I would definitely give her at least an 11. She is so content to simply play in her crib by herself when she wakes up each morning and while lulling herself to sleep at nap time. I can hear her "talking" to her animal friends. Against the advice of everything I've ever read about placing stuffed animals in the crib she has a few animals in hers to keep her company. She plays pretend with them and makes them interact with her.

Lamb is the leader of the Animal Pack. Followed by Kitty Kat, Elmo, Spot the Dog, and we can't forget about the various Teddy Bears participating too. They have a secret language comprised mostly of squeals and high pitched screams. It sounds alot like you'll hear her doing in the video below.

She was playing yesterday morning after breakfast by herself in the playroom. She's rediscovered her Baby Papasan chair and at the present time she loves to find a toy or a doll and drag it up into the chair with her. In this case, she was sitting on the chair and pulling things out of her toy basket, but then seemed to get really interested in the Animal Speak and Say. Watch the video.
