Little Woman

Sophia and I have been really busy these past few weeks and I started school (reason for delay in updates). Last week was so hot, so we enjoyed it at our balcony, SHE LOVED IT (on video)!! She is talking so much more too, she is constantly repeating me, especially when I am mad (thank god, no profanity has come out yet). She mimics alot of our actions too, she loves feeding her dolls and elmo. Their is not a day that goes by that she does not do at least 5 things new...its amazing.

Summer Fun

Sophia is such a doll. We have been enjoying this beautiful, hot weather and trying to stay as cool as possible. My parents visited this last weekend, and we discovered that she loves motorcycles espically my dads. We also visited her Tia Oli's house and discovered that she loves chocolate pudding. She is continuously growing in every way....and it is such a joy to watch.

Choo...Choo

TOOOOO CUTE!!

Sophia is growing so much and absorbing everything like a sponge. Its amazing how fast she picks ups on stuff. She continues to love books and has even began "her talk" while turning the pages, sometimes she laughs too while reading. We have been trying to show her how to hold a pencil or pen and she is actually pretty close...I also got her some magnetic speaking alphabet letters that she loves mimicking. She insists on walking by herself, of course our hand is close by. She does this funny thing with her eyebrows too, I have yet to capture it video though.

Toddlerhood

I found this today while browsing websites for toddler food...I thought it was soooo TRUE!!

What is a Toddler?
The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Toddler as:
One who toddles, especially a young child learning to walk.
A size of clothing for children between the ages of about one and three years.

We like to define a toddler as:

• A child who is between the age of 12 months and 48 months old (1 year and 4 years old)

• One who loves to eat food one day and then dislikes that very same food the next day

• One who requires a lot of clean laundry, tidying-up after, and lots of attention, and constant amusement and stimulation

• One who is methodical and focused in his or her attempts at launching a spoonful of mashed potatoes as easily as a robotic arm assembles a car!

• One who's innocence and wonder inspires us to do better

• One who possesses an abundance of love.

• One who is unconditional in the giving, and delightful in the receiving of that love, along with showering hugs, kisses and smiles to those around him or her;

A true joy and a true blessing to treasure
