Sophia is TWO!

Sophia turned two on Saturday, June 23. I cannot believe how quickly she is growing up! She is quite the character and has her daddy & me constantly laughing and smiling. She is at such a fun age and I'm having a blast staying home with her (and Olivia!) this summer.

At 2 years old Sophia:

*weighs 25 pounds (25%) and is 34 1/4in (50%)

*STILL wears a size 3 diaper

*wears a size 6 shoe

*wears size 18mo and 24mo clothing

*has 10 teeth, 2 that have broken through, and 2 more that I can see poking at her gums. She might finally have a full mouth soon. ha!

*LOVES the Bubble Guppies

"It's Goby, Mommy!"

*really enjoys being a big sister. She is constantly hugging and kissing Olivia, getting me diapers, burp cloths, her pacifier, and anything else I ask her to do.

*Talks. a lot. Her vocabulary amazes me and she far surpasses any language milestones for her age. At her check up Monday when the nurse was going through the standard well-check questions she said "Well, I'm not going to go over the questions for language. I heard her talking in the waiting room and I'd say she's got that part down!" then when the doctor came in he said "she's quite the talker isn't she?" ha! If I had to guess, I'd say she knows at least 250-300 words and talks in sentences the majority of the time. Most of her sentences are around 5-8 words.

*Although she's quite the talker, she's also pretty shy. It usually takes her awhile to warm up to anybody (family included) and gets very nervous and whiny when in large crowds. Hopefully this is just a stage she's in.

*She can count to 12, sing her ABCs, and she sings lots of songs like: Farmer in the Dell, Twinkle Twinkle, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and a few more. She's beginning to recognize some colors: orange, red and blue

*She has shown interest in potty training here and there. She goes through spurts: one day she pee'd 4 times and poo'd once then wouldn't sit on the potty again for about a week. I'm not pushing it. She'll learn when she's ready, I'm just following her cues. 

Sophia Faith, I am so so SO blessed that you are mine! Your daddy and I prayed fervently for a child and we were given more than we ever deserved when you were born. You are such a joy and have such a sweet and caring demeanor and I pray that you never change. I'm so proud of you and the big girl you are becoming. We love you!!

Her "cheese" face stage. So silly!

Such a good sister! She was trying to help me get Olivia to look/smile for her 2month photo
