Oops! It's been awhile!

Well, it appears that I have neglected this blog! I figured I should get on here and do a 15 month update...only to realize I didn't do a 14 month update and my child is actually 16 months now! Where does time go?! So, here is a quick recap of the past couple of months.

*We are busy, busy, busy!

*I am going "back to school" with online courses....so that takes up a lot of my time right now. I work, play with Sophia, and do homework once she's in bed. It's exhausting!

*Sophia is going to be a BIG SISTER! Baby #2 will be here the beginning of April. We are over the moon excited and so blessed that everything has gone so smoothly this pregnancy.


*Sophia is now 16 months old! At her 15 month appointment she finally weighed 20.0 pounds and is 29 3/4" tall. She is in the 10th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. She started out higher in both percentiles, but she's slowing down quite a bit. Guess she's going to be petite. = )

*She is quite the chatterbox! Some words she says:
mama, mom-mee, dada, dad-dee, mimi, gigi, papa, poppy, baby, Lily, Ty, Cot-i (for Ducati), kitty, Izzy, doggy, nany (banana), ba(bath), nigh-nigh, mambie (lambie~her lovey), money (lol), potty, done, gone, bite, iide (outside), byeee, button (belly button), sewww(shoe), ooooh gosh!

*She knows some animal sounds:
kitty = mmmow, sheep=baaaa, cow=mmmmmm, doggy=yuf yuf, duck=Quack!!, monkey= ooh ooh, lion/tiger/bear=rawr, and elephant

*She can be a good eater or a picky eater...just depends on the day. She loves her some fruit, though!

*She goes to bed at 7:30. We start to wind down around 7:00 by reading books or playing with minimal noise/stimulation and then we lay her in her crib at 7:30. She puts herself right to sleep! Thank you, sweet girl!

I'm sure I'm missing a thing or two, but this is all that comes to mind at the moment. I worked on a final all day today and my brain is fried. I'll add more if I think about it later. = )
