15 Months

I realize that I won't be able to document something about Sophie every month for the rest of her life, but I figure when I can I will. Since I didn't get around to doing a 14 month post for her, I will add a few things from the previous months to this.
Sophie has been talking for a while now. She loves to jabber and it really sounds like she is saying real words. In fact, we were at Applebee's one night and the hostess asked us, "did she just talk? Like real words?" Even though Sophie has said hi, yea, mama, dada, baby, baba, and other such first words, we have come to the conclusion that Sophie's real first word is "doggy." She says it very clearly and when we see a doggy (other then Bjorn) she will point and say "doggy." I am not sure what she thinks about Bjorn. I think she knows he is a doggy because I was flipping through some pictures and when it was one of Bjorn she said doggy. I know that she loves him and wants to be near/chasing him every chance she gets.

Sophie started saying doggy around 14 months and now she is saying other words. She can say mommy, daddy, what's that?, thank you, okay, and some other various things. We have also been working on a couple sign language signs with her. She can sign please and all done/ finished.

On to the potty training. Potty training is going really well. As to be expected, we are by no means fully potty trained, but Sophie poops and pees on the potty everyday. It is rare that we change a poopy diaper, maybe once to twice a week. A couple weeks ago I said to Sophie, as I had done many times, let's go to the potty. Well this time, she got up and walked from the living room straight to the bathroom. Since then if you tell her it is time to go potty, she knows what you are talking about. I think we are still on track for being potty trained by 18 months, but we will see. If not, I don't mind because I know she gets it so it will come in time.

I am sure there are a million more things, but I think that will do for now. So that is Sophie at 15 months. And yes, Tayen, Mia and Sophie all have matching jammies. We just couldn't get them all in one shot.
