Today Sophie is 18 months old. Do you believe it? It seems like a real milestone for some reason and I'm just so excited at the little girl she is becoming. She fascinates me with her language acquisition skills and her growing independence. We now play a game at dinner called "Sophie Says" where she does an action (like putting her hands on her head or sticking her thumb in her mouth) and we do it along with her until she changes the action. It's really fun and I love watching her make up new actions and dictate the sequence of what we should do. Last night we had Nanny, Aunt Pat, and Caely over for dinner after a wonderful trip to the Philadelphia Zoo and we were all playing along and cracking up with Sophie. She really kept the game going and I could tell she was enjoying the rush of power that came with making five silly adults follow her every whim.
On the word front, some (but certainly not all) of the new words she has been saying lately include: Santa, gears, arms, feet, nose, eyes, happy, Thomas (but it sounds more like Thombas), hair, trash, umbrella, hi, bye, Chenny (but it sounds like Tennah). Earlier this week she said what I believe was her first two word sentence, "More cheese." That's my girl!!!
We love you like crazy sweet little princess!! We can't imagine life without you and watching you grow is one of the biggest joys of our life!
