14 months

My big 14 month old!

My favorite things about Sophia currently:

- 2 new teeth- she now has her 2 top teeth to match her cute bottom ones

-1 nap! She's down to one nap and I kind of love it because it opens up our morning so much more. She still sleeps for 13 hours at night and I super duper love that :D

- Music class- we started a music class with her and she has so much fun. We just sing silly songs and do stuff with basic rhythms and patterns. But she bounces along like she loves it.

- Old man walking- she uses anything that slides across the floor like a walker. Her little train here, the stool chairs, etc. We said that with her bald little head, and walker she looks like a little old man- hahaha. Don't worry baby girl- we know you're beautiful and cute!

- Obsessed with peek a boo- it is the one sure fire cure for crankyness. She plays all by herself and thinks she's hilarious!

- New words? Sophia had been saying this phrase of sounds over and over, we couldn't figure out what she was trying to say, or if it meant anything. Then we realized that she was repeating a Chinese phrase Rick is always saying to her that means 'do you want?'. Rick basically only speaks Chinese to Sophia, and it's crazy that she's already picking up on it. She's followed directions in it for a long time (like waving hi, jumping, patting her belly), but now she's repeating it back. Looks like I better get learning!

- Assertive baby- Sophia definitely knows how to communicate that she wants something. She'll come and tap you on the leg, then start pulling, then making very loud unpleasant noises.

- Yet independent- she's really good at entertaining herself for the most part. She likes playing with us, but can go play by herself when she needs to.

- Bath time- has become so fun! She loves to read her bath time book and has learned how to really splash. Beware, the first 3 rows will get wet.

-Bed time- she is so cute at bedtime in her little footed pj's, but my favorite thing is each night we read her Good Nite Moon right before she goes to sleep. She gets sooo excited when we pull out the book. She stands up in her crib to watch and laughs at the cow and kitties. Then by the end of it, she usually lays herself down and cuddles up with her blanket ready to sleep. I know that sounds way to picturesque to be true- but it is!!! I swear! (if you want to know how we got her to love sleeping so much, let me know)

All in all- what a fun little girl!?!
