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!
