Life with Sophie

Friday, December 01, 2006

Hello! Haven't been able to update this blog in a long while - our computer at home is busted and it's difficult to find time to just sit down, relax, and write! But our little squirt is as adventurous, irrepressible, spirited, and as beautiful as ever!

1. She has two new teeth growing in her lower gums, which is why she's been irritable lately.
2. Her hair is now long enough to be tied up into a bun or ponytail. So cute!
3. When you say "Sophie! Beautiful eyes!" she will promptly and repeatedly blink her eyes. She will do this to any stranger who meets her gaze as well. What can I say? The little lady is a charmer.
4. We toothbrush after every meal already. She gets angry each time because she wants to hold the toothbrush herself. When allowed to do so, she will not brush her teeth, but her tongue.
5. She says "Wow!" every time we pass by a house with Christmas lights.
6. There are times when she will hold her arms above her head and shout, "Darna!"
7. She has so many new words! Star, moon, banana, angel, bread, butter, flower, butterfly, book, etc!
8. When she likes her food, she will bob her head up and down and say "More." If not, she will allow you to put the food in her mouth, but a few seconds after, will stick out her tongue and let the food spill out. Gross!
9. She is a veritable drama queen. When she doesn't get what she wants, she will roll all over the floor in despair, her face all scrunched up like a sour lemon.

That's it for now! Will be back (soon, I hope) with more updates and Sophie anecdotes :)
