Sofia Colors

I read somewhere recently that kids Sofia's age should be able to use crayons (or at least attempt t0). Usually we tell the Waiter "no thank you" as Sofia would just try to eat them. On Thursday we decided to show her how to use a coloring and this is the masterpiece that resulted!! She had a ton of fun. Her attention span is short of course, but she really did enjoy it and she was very proud!

This week

This week was super fun with Sofia. I took her swimming which she always loves. Then we went to the SPCA where she got to see all her favorite animals. It really made me miss Kitty Meister!! I got a little teary when we went into the cat room and Sofia got all excited. One cat actually came up to Sofie and I and just purred and snuggled. Sofia couldn't be more happy. She also walked BY HERSELF all over the facility. It was adorable and she was so proud. Today she had buttered noodles for lunch and managed to get most of the butter in her hair. When Zach got home he thought that I actually had her in the rain too long, but nope...just very greasy hair. She's learned a couple more words this week too:

"ssss" - snake
"aff" - flower or leaf
"zzzz" - any insect
"fuly" - butterfly

I'm sure there is more that I'm just not remembering. I wish all of you could experience the amazing joy she gives everyone she touches!

Already Such a Girly Girl

Just today Sofia discovered a purse. I took it off of her thinking that maybe it was a mistake, but to my surprise she put it right back on. You'll notice she is making a super cute face in the pictures. Well she is learning how to say "cheese" when taking a picture. Such a doll!!

Sofia is Walking

This may not be the picture of Sofia waking (video to come) but she took her first real couple of steps yesterday, February 20, 2010. She actually took one step a week ago and here and there a step, but the day I got back from the trade show she took at least five steps back and forth between her daddy and I. She was so proud of herself it was just amazing to see. What a sweet little girl to wait until I got back home!! She doesn't walk all over yet, but that will come soon. She grows so quickly and is perfectly fitting into her 18 month clothes. She says so many words!! Here is her current vocabulary:

Ow or Yow: Cat
Hoo: Owl
Woof: Dog
ph ph or zit: Rabbit
poppop: Grampa
zoo: Shoes
Hi
Yee: plane
moo: Cow
wassat?: What is that
Waff: waffle
baff: Bath or nap
maaaa: Mom
Dada: Dad

That is what she says but she understands sooooo much more. She will wipe her face and hands on cue, get a book, put an object in or take it out of something and much much more.
