check out this adorable dress from Poppy and CC
Sophia is 18 months old today. Amazing. What is she up to now?
- she can run pretty well but not all out
- she can walk up stairs with a railing
- she can repeat almost anything you say, and understands on a ton of stuff
- she can say a handful of Chinese words and understand the use of them
- she can name her body parts and so many animals and make their sounds
- she can help us sing a few songs
- she can help put her toys away (sometimes)
- her favorite word or thing is still 'airplane' and saying 'bye bye + whatever she is walking away from at the moment)
- she will do something like put a puzzle piece in correctly and then tell herself 'good job' and clap her hands
- she prays with us, holds our hands and bows her head, and says amen really loud when done
- she is starting to put a few words together
- she loves to laugh and joke around, hide, play 'airplane' with daddy (he flies her around way up high above his shoulders
- she just started giving this sly grin and pointing at you with her fingers as if to say 'gotcha,' it is adorable
- she thinks she can count but she really just says 'two and five' and motions her hands like she is counting
- she still LOVES dogs and is not scared of them, she also still just uses the Chinese word for them
- she eats a lot. And since we dropped her bottle, she really only gets milk/dairy in her yogurt and cheese, but we are still trying to give her milk in a cup and through a straw...
- she can eat 12 chinese dumplings (probably more but we stop her there), I eat about 20 or less
- she has 8.5 teeth
- she can shriek/scream really loud when we take something away that she really wants (like when a random person on the street gives her their cell phone to play with)
- she still naps a little in the morning, maybe 20-30 minutes but I keep her in her crib for 45 usually, and naps at least 2 hours in the afternoon
- she now has a third snack right before bed, usually a little oatmeal with wheatgerm and applesauce, so, she has a small morning snack, a little left over yogurt (to put her medicine in), then a slice of cheese and possible cracker, afternoon snack is bigger, usually fruit with cracker or if we have some peanut butter on bread, the girl can eat.
- she still goes to bed at 7:30 and sleeps until then too (usually)
- she is affectionate, she gives great good night hugs and kisses
- she still loves her books
- there is so much more she is doing but that is the gist of our little toddler, we are so thankful for the past 18 months...
