A very tired little girl.
That's not a 5 o'clock shadow... it's remnants of black beans & rice.
Helping Daddy play the guitar.
Sophie has been sleeping great lately (knock on wood). She is on a 2 nap a day schedule, the first of which is right when our playgroup meets so we haven't been able to go for a month. We've also had to stay inside because of the smoke from all the wildfires. So that means we are both a little lonely. Sophie is slowly adding more words to her vocabulary. She is saying "up," "down," "mom," and "owl." However, she says them infrequently and refuses to speak when we ask her to. We know she understands us because we can ask her to point objects out to us and she will most of the time. We sing her a song that involves opening and closing our hands and she will open and close her hands with us if she is in the mood. Sophie only does things on her terms.
Sophie decided to play in the rain one day with Daddy. Combine water with the outdoors and you get one ecstatic toddler.
Sophie has been cyber-stalking Maru, the cat, on youtube. Maru likes to jump in boxes. I think Maru inspired Sophie to start stomping and sitting in boxes.
Ty joined Sophie for a bath. Fortunately, neither one of them pooped in the tub... this time.
Desperate to get to that waterfall in the middle of Chocolate World.
Staring at her beautiful cousin, Maddy. This is not unusual. Sophie stares at most people who are unfamiliar to her.
Sophie had a lot of fun playing with her cousins, Ben and Maddy (well, at least playing near them.) She's not quite at the age where she's playing with other kids.
The mooch (one of our nicknames for Sophie). Pap was talking while holding a quesadilla in his hand & Sophie tried to take a bit out of it. Once Pap realized what was going on, he was kind enough to share. The quickest way to Sophie's heart is through her tummy (must get that from her daddy!).
Sophie loves to play with rocks!
Maw Maw put some balls in this cooler for Sophie to play with. She decided to carry the whole thing around instead.
Sophie loves to watch the fan spin.
Pancakes are so yummy!!
We had a playdate at our house with a friend and Sophie took his ball away and refused to give it back. They had fun anyway. I was surprised Sophie let him play with her toys.
Chatting with Mommy.
Sophie loves to watch Sprout, which is PBS's toddler/preschool channel. No, really... she does!
Peas! Sophie's favorite vegetable.
