Today, Sophie took her very first step! She has been standing up on her own for a few days - making herself so happy she claps, and then falls over. But today during music class, she definitely took a step. We think Georgia also took her first steps at music class, so we're right on schedule at 16 months!
Sophie is a very happy kid. She loves to give big bear hugs and giggles whenever you play peekaboo - it's a sure fire way to get her to let you dry her hair with a towel. Just pretend you can't find her and she laughs through the trouble of having her hair patted.
Her latest nicknames include: Sophie Dophie, Sophie Bear, Soph-a-Doph, Bumblemouse, Solo and So-So.
She now can say Mama, Dor-duh, and a very clear DADA. She loves crackers and any kind of fruit you will give her. She uses her 5.5 teeth to enjoy these foods. She will only eat eggs when Daddy's selling them. Her favorite books include the one with the animal sounds, the one with the fuzzy animal fur, and the one with all the babies being kissed by their parents.
Her hair is in her eyes all the time, not because I'm a cruel mom, but because she refuses to keep a hairband in place. She thinks it's so funny to pull it out and then take great effort to give it back to me. She laughs like a hyena. When you ask her for a kiss, she leans in and smiles at you until you put your cheek on her cheek. She is so so so wonderful.
