What a fun age this girl is at!!! Sophia is extremely busy at 20 months but almost always has a smile on her face and a squeaky cheerful voice to go with it! Even her temper tantrums end with giggles these days!
Sophia is very strong willed and becoming very independent. She is learning to dress herself, has to open and close all of the doors on her own, take off her own diaper, wipe her own bum after the potty (which, for the record, she won't actually pee or poop on), brush her own teeth, unzip and zip up her own jacket, wash her own face, pour her own water, wash her own hands, feed the dog, ect..... Although it makes it that much harder to get things done quickly and efficiently, it is really amazing to watch her grow each day.
Sophia loves to ham it up too! She really likes to get a laugh out of anyone and everyone. If she notices an audience and she is feeling comfortable enough she will pull all of her tricks at once. Her latest is counting from 2 to 10 (never starts at 1), singing songs and rhyming rhymes, naming all of her body parts (including her tongue and teeth) and testing Adam and I on our body parts. She will say "eyes" and wait for us to point to the right part and then move on to the next body part.
Sophia LOVES to explore and collect things. From what I understand, her Daddy was just like that as a kiddo. She will stop and pick up every rock, leaf and berry we pass and store them in her pockets. She will walk around with keys and try to unlock every single door. EVERYTHING goes in to her mouth or electrical sockets!!!! Needless to say our house is baby proof and when we go anywhere else we can not take our eyes off of her for a second!
In all of this change Sophia is still a real cuddly girl. She LOVES her snuggles with her Mom and Dad and will spend 15 minutes at a time just hanging out in our arms. I love it and will never ever ever ever encourage her to do otherwise.
We love our baby girl and are really looking forward to seeing what the next baby is going to be like! So much fun being parents!
