Sophie, This is you...


Your new favorite phrase is "No, I don't like that."

You say it so kind and sweet that it is hard to disagree.

You are also into "No thank you mama." You say it even if you are talking to daddy.

You said your first prayer tonight. (04/05/10) It was very cute and you screamed with excitement at the end.

You have not been sleeping very well as of late. You have been waking up almost every night at least once. You just want mommy or daddy to sleep with you.

You love to color. You only have one coloring book, but you don't seem to mind. You color nearly everyday.

You love to make forts and tunnels with the couch cushions. Your cousin Mia showed you how to do that. It is one of the many games you two play together.

Last month I told you we were going to Aunt Tara's house. You were excited as usual. I said we will see Mia and Tayen. And then you added "and Ryanan?"

You love to make yourself laugh. You will talk and then laugh and then do it some more. I love to hear you and I wonder what you are saying.

Some how you managed to take off your diaper while still wearing feety pajamas.You have also learned how to take all of your clothes off except your shirt. It only comes most of the way off.

Your favorite things to sign are cook and kite. You can sign lots and lots of things.

You can squeal with an incredibly high pitch. Sometimes you are making a happy sound and other time your are definitely not.

Even though you talk about daddy all the time, you are still a mommy's girl.

You still will hold food in your mouth. Why? I have no idea.

I painted your toes this last weekend red just like mine. You like it a lot and make a point of showing them to people. You like that we are matching too. So do I.

You know almost all your letters except maybe two or three and even a few of the sounds.

You can count to 10. Today you were sitting in your highchair counting your color crayons.

You like to stand on the coffee table and look out the window. Bjorn also likes to do this, so it is often the two of you standing there together. You are always looking for the horses in the field.

To you, everything is yellow. What color are your shoes? Yellow. No, they are red. Yellow. Red. Yellow!

You have 8 teeth on the top and 8 on the bottom. You like to brush your teeth.

I mentioned this in an earlier post, but you have not had a poopy diaper in months. I would say since you were about 18 months and the few months before that, they were few and far between.

You ran to your daddy's office (the laundry room) the other day saying "Mike, Mike, Mike"

You often wake up in the mornings asking for one of your cousin. You must be dreaming about playing with them.

You are so good about getting your hair done. You sit fairly still and don't put up a fuss. I have yet to cut your hair, but I have been thinking about it.

There are so many more things to say about you so I will just have to make another list.

Love you my not so baby girl!

Back in the day

I found some old videos from 2005 when Mike, Tara, Ryan and I went to Flat Iron Mesa Park and tried to slide down the hill on pieces of cardboard. It didn't work like it did when we were kids. But we figured out that we could just slide on top of the cardboard instead. Check it out!

Michael Buble Concert

I ended up going to the Michael Buble concert this last week. It was really amazing. He is so talented and really funny too. I would definitely recommend one of his concerts to anyone. During part of the show he came down to the middle of the floor to a small stage and we got up about ten feet from him.

The best part of the show was at the very end. He hushed everyone, took out his earpieces, walked away from the mic and just sang. All I can say is wow! Thanks for thinking to invite me Audrey!

My New Eyes

On the 1st I had Lasik eye surgery. This first picture is me with the iodine cleaner on my eyes and the super fashionable hair cover. The white pads are to catch the dripping when I am laying down so it doesn't go in my ears. (It still dripped in my ears)

This is a great shot of my eye guards that they taped to my face.

The dr said that I was such a good patient that I got a sucker. Can you guess what color it was?

These are my stylin glasses to block out the sun.

It was a really great experience and now two days out I am feeling pretty good. I can see most things and can tell that it is getting better and better each day. Also a shout out to my sister in law Tara for being my driver and helping me making the nursing staff laugh so hard they were almost in tears. It was awesome.

Sophie,

Thank you for no more poopy diapers. Your dad and I are really happy that you tell us when you have to poo. We have not had to change a poopy diaper in months. I know soon you will not need diaper at all. Great job!

Love, Mommy and Daddy
