Sophia has been a busy girl traveling from coast to coast (literally) in Canada!
The very end of June Sophia and I flew to Comox to visit Nana and Relic. Lauren, Ella and Mateo were also there during our visit! Sophia LOVES her big cousins and was spoiled rotten by them. We had a fun filled, BUSY trip with outings each and every day. We saw Mount Washington (snow picture above), Puntledge River, Hornby and Denby island, Miracle beach.... The list goes on! We had a great time and can't wait to go back!
Our next big adventure was our flight all the way to Nova Scotia. There, Sophia and I spent a week with Aunt Judy and Uncle Paul in Kingsport. They bought and renovated my Nannie and Grandaddy's home and turned it into a beautiful, relaxing place to visit. I have so many memories as a child in Kingsport and I look forward to building memories for Sophia and her sibling(s)! We spent that trip relaxing, walking, hot tubing, chilling with family, visiting a zoo and of course Hall's Harbour for a lobster feast! Sophia loved the lobsters when they were alive but once they were cooked she FREAKED!!!
On to Toronto we flew where we met Adam at the airport to begin the next leg of our trip. We stayed with my sister Chrissy and her family. We had a great time..... besides being sick and getting Chrissy and her kids sick. Yuck!
They put a new pool in their back yard so we spent many a SWELTERING afternoon by the pool swimming. Adam and I left Sophia with Aunty Chrissy for two days while we drove to Hamilton for some friends wedding. It was a nice getaway and nice break but was hard to leave Sophia. We hadn't ever left her for that long before. Thanks to Chrissy for taking such good care of her! We also took Sophia to the Toronto Zoo. It happened to be the hottest day of the week so it was a quick, sweaty, dehydrating 3 hours!!!! Beautiful zoo though!
Life has been busy! We are happy to be home and settling back in to a routine! Sophia is 18 1/2 months now and is TROUBLE!!!! She is very strong willed and likes to do things on her own and her way or the highway. She is talking up a storm and has well over a hundred words. She is in the mimicking stage and will copy almost anything that comes out of our mouths! We really have to watch ourselves now!!!!
Sophia is a blast and although I get frustrated with having a little cling on attached to my leg 24 hours a day, I would trade it for the world! She makes us laugh all the time and is a real ham!
We are looking forward to the next bambino to add to the fun! I am almost 22 weeks pregnant now and feeling really good! This baby is very active and reassures me he/she is growing and healthy all the time! Can't wait to see what we get!
By 18 months:
Weight: 24lbs (up the the 50th percentile!!!)
Height: 32 3/4 inches (75th percentile!!!)
