Finally we have had some beautiful weather to get outside and enjoy! Almost too hot but I would never complain about that!
Sophia still LOVES being outside. She knows the route for our walks and gets really excited as we approach the school field where we let her run wild. She makes her way to the park every time. It used to take her 20 minutes to cross the field with all of the falls but now she effortlessly runs/wobbles to her destination...... the swing! She grins from ear to ear and claps and yells "Yay"!!!!
As usual Sophia has some new tricks and new sayings these past few weeks. She really likes to put on a show for us and will perform all of her tricks at once because she knows it is cute. She will give us 'five', bump knuckles, wink (actually uses one eye!!!!), do a little dance, stick out her tongue, blow us a kiss and then just laugh. It is really funny to watch. When Adam gets home from work she runs to the window to wave 'hi'. Through the window she will bump knuckles to Adam, wink and yell "Hi Dadeeeee"! She now calls Adam "Daddy" instead of "Dada" and she calls me "Mum". No more Mama.
Sophia can now show you her belly button, nose, ears, eyes and sometimes mouth. She as learned to climb up on to the slippery couch when she is naked and uses her teeth to help pull herself up. She continues to be obsessed with our can cupboard/lazy susan and will climb inside and get herself stuck! Also is obsessed with unrolling toilet paper....
Last but not least, Sophia has been introduced to the potty! We are not going to force anything but she really likes to sit on it over and over again. She as taken an interest in watching us use the bathroom and seems pretty proud of her potty. We will see what time brings. I don't think she quite has the concept of peeing on the potty as opposed to the couch or the carpet.... but it will come!
