A Year and a Half

Well we've reached the half way mark. In just 6 months Sophia with be a two year old. I can hardly believe that on Saturday our baby turned 18 months old. I'm a few days behind but since we went for her 18 month well visit today I thought that I could still squeeze in an salute to 18 months. So here's what's been going on over the last 30 days.

1. Constantly trying to dress her self. This ends up in some very interesting outfits, like a pair of my shorts over her head! And see the above photo.
2. Kelly Clarkson’s “Miss Independent" is the current theme song at our house. EVERYTHING is “I do.”
3. She’s becoming a pro at using a spoon. Yesterday she ate an entire container of apple sauce and didn’t spill one drop. But she ate an entire thing of ravioli with her hand. So it’s hit or miss.
4. Loves to cover anything up with a blanket, including the dog. Poor dog.
5. She can spend 20 minutes buckling herself into her highchair. Apparently this is a great form of entertainment or a form of OCD.
6. She absolutely loves her daycare teacher Brenda and can be heard shouting “Enda” all the way down the hall.
7. She can ride her rocking horse like a champ.
8. She has the temper of her father and can throw things farther than an 18 month old should be able to throw
9. Loves to talk on the phone and even holds the phone up to Oscar’s ear. Again, poor dog.
10. She has NOT attempted to climb out of her bed, YAY!!!
11. She has attempted to climb out of her highchair.
12. Aside from her wellness visit today we have not been to the doctor for over 3 months. She weighs 23 pounds and is 32 inches long.
13. Her favorite book is “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” and says “no no no” when we get to the part about the “bad fish.”
14.She thinks it is hilarious to yell for us.
15. Loves to give and receive ‘butterfly kisses” and says “eye” when she wants one. 16. She’s starting to play “hide and seek” but she’s a much better seeker than hider.
16. She's starting to play hide and seek but she's a better "seeker" than "hider."
17. There's not a shy bone in her body and she'll talk to anyone.
18. She loves to pretend like she's taking photos...hmmm...I wonder where she gets that from?
