Today marks Sofia's 18 month birthday, happy birthday sweet girl! 
After our day at the pool, we treated Sofia to an Astros game. I know, it's the perfect gift for an 18 month old! She enjoyed running around, eating ball park food, dancing during the 7th inning stretch and joining in the thunderous applauses that occurred sporadically through the game (she thought they were clapping for her). We even let her stay up till 9:30 which is a good 30 minutes past her bedtime so I must say that Sofia had a fun-filled half birthday.
bad outcome
Sofia has also been talking like crazy. We have very interesting conversations, today was no exception. I asked her how old she was and she said, "two." I don't know who taught her that but my little precious is a bit ahead of herself. I said, "No, Sofia, you're one." I said, "one, one, one" but she wouldn't repeat it. She repeats everything we say, whether we like it or not, but the one thing I want her to say- she won't. I changed my tactics and told her to repeat "uno" and she did. So today, on her 1.5 birthday, Sofia has learned that she is in fact, uno, not dos.
playtime
To celebrate Sofia's special half birthday, we went to the pool for the first time this summer. Yes, with the 94 degree heat Houston has experienced for the last 2 days, we needed to cool off so we headed to Lifetime. Sofia wasn't really into the swimming itself- she did enjoy the life jacket, playing in the sand and baking in the sun.
look Mom, just my size

This week, Sofia has decided that her dolls need a bath. What does "bathe" mean to her? Throwing her dolls in the toilet and washing them off. I know, all kids do it. When I catch her in the act, I always laugh, then realize that she has ruined one of her precious baby dolls. There is no way to salvage anything that has fallen in the toilet so I do what any normal parent does: First I take a picture, then I get a trash bag, cover my hands, remove it and throw it away. We are down to 3 baby dolls. My only method of prevention is to keep the bathroom door shut so let's hope she doesn't find a way to open that door otherwise, she can kiss those dolls bye bye.

In just a year and a half, we have created precious, unforgettable memories that we will cherish forever. Being such an easy-going, joyful little girl, Sofia has made our job incredibly easy.
