Yeah, she's got this

First week (aka 2 half days) done in PK4!

Sophie's Speaking!

Ok, maybe not full sentences yet. But today, she is 20 months old and we thought it was a good time to list her words. She is also really keeping up with the sign language. We have her teachers to thank for that since neither of us really know what she's trying to tell us. Here are some of her favorite words.:

Mama (obviously)
Dada
Dor-duh
Ceeee (Cece)
No
YUM! (Always pronounced with the exclamation point)
Mo-ah (more)
Byeee (bye-bye - this has evolved from bay-bay to bobby to byeee. I kind of liked bay-bay)
Mines (aka MINE)
Baaaa (the sound a sheep makes)
Cruckcruckrcruck (the sound a duck makes)
WOW (this is my absolute favorite, it is how she says Moo when pointing at a cow)

Sophie's Last Day as a Butterfly

She's off to the Ladybug room in another week (after a horrible annual tradition at this "new" baby camp, where they close the center for a week to do training and all the parents are left to say, "but I didn't want to take a vacation this week?!"). Here is Ms. Toccara's final report:

"It has been a pleasure working with Sophie. We have been the best of friends since day one of her being in my care. Sophie has come a long way."

Six close-ups of Georgia

Because you know you want them.

 I see this face a lot. A LOT.

Watermelon!

Since the new house is my new theme - and basically the only thing I want to talk about or think about - here we are enjoying our first watermelon in the NEW HOUSE!

 Sophie just really seems to like it better here.

 G, too.

 Um, her eyes look bluer here as well.

 You should come visit. Just sayin.

Scarf Party!

Everyone was very happy when mommy unearthed the scarf stash at the new house.

 Georgia wanted to show Sophie how it's done.

Sophie and Nate the Great

We are so happy Sophie and Nate have each other. Being the littles to Abby and Georgia's bigs is tough sometimes.

 Luckily they have their own special bond.

 Where Sophie follows him, and he kind of ignores her.

 Georgia and Abby (for some reason not pictured?) did this puzzle.

 Later, Nate showed Sophie that all of her attention was not falling on deaf ears.

 "But wait, where are you going?"

 Oh, maybe another girl has his heart?

 Sibling rivalry already?
