Sophia has no idea how much her life is going to change in 6 months......
She will officially become a big sister around the 23rd of December! Yup it is true we are having baby #2! He/she looks like a perfect little healthy baby and we couldn't be happier to have him/her join our family! I am sure Sophia will be out of joint for awhile but will grow to love her new buddy with time!
It has been a busy month with Sophia growing and changing every day! She is such a ham and such a bright light in our lives. She is really taking off with her speech and is up to over 40 words now! She still has her words of the week but is starting to put some words together! This week it is "Uh-oh Spao" (uh-oh spaghettio), "Hi Dadda!", "Hi Mama!", "Soo-soo?", "Oh Dear!". She likes to chat from the moment she opens her eyes until she goes back to sleep! She is much like her Mama in that department!
Although we are not officially potty training (I think she is way to young yet), Sophia is taking an interest in the whole thing and has peed on the potty 3 times now. She is pretty proud of herself but will walk around the corner and pee on the floor 5 minutes later..... and then laugh about it!
Sophia has such a fun personality and although everyone thinks she is so mellow, we are definitely seeing a wild side to her. She is really starting with the temper tantrums (especially with her Mama) and will arch her back, push her belly out, put her chin to her chest with a pout on and start trying to hit whatever she is mad at. Or she will just lay on the floor and kick!
She loves talking on the phone and has had little conversations lately with Adam and Nana and Relic. She will talk jibberish and then laugh out loud!
Sophia hates loud noises. If she drops something and makes a noise, if the dog barks, the doorbell rings, she will throw whatever she is holding and come a running for her Mom! A bit of a scaredy-cat!
She LOVES being tickled. If you stop she will take your hand and put it on her leg or armpit. Or she will just lay there and put her arms above her head for you to tickle her. Several times a day she will stop what she is doing and tickle herself while saying "tickle tickle tickle"! During her night time bottle she will spend half of the time tickling Adam or myself!
And Sophia LOVES to dance! She bounces her knees and bops her head to music all day! She especially loves if we all dance together in the living room! I wonder what the neighbors think???
Other than that not much else is new!!!!
