Our Weekend

So our weekend definitely didn't go as planned. A day on the beach turned into a weekend long nap. But boy was it glorious! Apparently, I really needed the rest.

We opted for a slightly easier & much less sandy option: the pool. Sophia just loves the water, but remind me to never go on a Sunday night again. It was insanely packed, and the rowdy older kids kept running into the little ones in the baby section.

And we are quickly approaching 15 months! Here are some Sophia updates:
  • Her vocabulary is still just mama, dada, ap ap (duck used for any type of bird), and wo wo (dog used for any other animal).
  • Sophia's understanding and awareness is continually increasing. We can ask her to kiss anyone in the house, and she'll run over to them and plant a huge kiss on their cheek.
  • Monkey see, monkey do. She has become my little sister, Melanie's, shadow. Melanie taught her to run into a pile of blankets, dance, pat her head, party when she likes her food...lots of crazy things.
  • She eats the crust off her bread first. Then she attacks the rest.
  • She is doing very well putting herself to sleep every night. But if you make even the smallest sound, she'll wake up. I definitely can't wait to have a place of our own, so we don't have to share a room.
  • Sophia is officially off bottles!! She's drinking her milk from a straw sippy. Cheers to Sophia!
  • She is obsessed with birth marks. She has one on her arm; so whenever she sees someone's birth mark, she has to kiss it.
  • She's the silliest, sweetest little girl. And I love her :)

  8. Our daughter is finicky with noise too. We found that with the humidifier and the radio on low it keeps her asleep longer. She's gorgeous!
