Sophia-isms

Sophia's language development has exploded again and she's now about to say lots of complete sentences. She repeats almost everything we say. In fact, she heard Will say damn and then all of a sudden it was her favorite word. Go figure.

Here's some of her other new words or phrases:

• BRAZEE - This is what she calls zebras.


• HOLD YOU - This is what she says when she wants one of us to hold her. She holds her arms up and looks at me with puppy dog eyes and says HOLD YOU. I've never been able to resist!


• GOODNESS - She says this when she sees/makes a mess.


• BEE BOP - This is what she now calls Baby Bop - instead of just BOP


• BJ - BJ is no longer called BEEJ


• STAY HERE - Now she can tell us if she doesn't want to come inside, or go upstairs or leave the playground.... She says STAY HERE!


• IRIS - Iris is the older girl (15) who lives across the street and now Sophia calls every older girl IRIS.


• SAY CHEESE - She picked up a camera in the nursery at church yesterday and said SAY CHEESE


• BARNEY MUSIC - As soon as Sophia gets strapped into her car seat she requests BARNEY MUSIC

New Favorite Foods

Strawberries - she's literally eating 1 lb a day!
Hamburgers - plain with ketchup. No bun, no mustard!
Ranch - she loves dipping cucumbers, peppers & tomatoes.
Cake - a girl after my own heart!
Sicles - better known as Popsicles (especially the blue ones)


Old Favorites that she no longer likes:

Fruit snacks - YAY!!!!
French fries - YAY!!!!
Sweet potatoes

New Feats

• She comes and goes as she pleases now. She can climb or walk up the stairs on her own and she can scoot down on her butt. She always checks in with me first to make sure I know where she's going, but then she's off on her own!


• Will went into Sophia's room this weekend to get her up from her nap and she was shirtless. She took her shirt off when she woke up.
