Sophia turned 1

WOW! Sophia turned ONE on Monday, the 14th. Her official stats are:
Height: 31 1/4 inches (97th percentile)
Weight: 23 pounds 6 ounces (85th percentile)

What a year!

It's so hard to believe that 12 months have already passed. It seems like yesterday that we brought her home. She was so small and delicate. Now she's a full-fledged toddler of epic proportion! She had her very first temper tantrum on her birthday. We were leaving Grancy's house and Daddy picked Sophia up from the learning table toy and she immediately started leaning out of his arms, crying and kicking her feet as if to shout "Put Me Down! I Was Playing With That!" Believe me this kid definitely knows how to display her frustration to alert us to what she wants. It's her way of talking to us before she can actually talk.

That and the signs and words she uses. She's got quite a little repetoire now.
She knows and uses these signs: giraffe, dog, duck, milk
She understands these signs and may do them soon: bath, flower, drink
She says these words: Sadie, baby, Dada, Ma. I'm waiting to see what word she comes up with for "Lambie".
