Psalm 139:14

This week we've had one activity after another so pardon me for not updating sooner and for missing Sofia's 19 month birthday. Little Miss Chatterbox is doing great. She's having a fabulous summer hanging out by the pool, going to storytime, playing with sweet new friends and enjoying the Texas sun. She is so active these days, naps have become a regular part of her daily routine.

look at all those teeth my 19 month girl has!

Sofia's speech is becoming clearer. She says I love you, "I want..", juice, water, nope, yeah, um I don't know, lotion, wettie (translation: diaper), pee pee, poo poo and so much more, the rest just isn't understandable. She's also jumping, twirling, running, and climbing all over the furniture. I believe that Sofia is destined to become an engineer because she is great at problem solving. What she loves to do most is move the furniture. Whether we're at home or out, Sofia will take it upon herself to move chairs, purses, even tables (kid sized ones of course). She could entertain herself all day long doing it!

Sofia is also very helpful these days. She loves to clean, here's an example: our rug sheds tons. I am always picking up carpet fuzz and so is she. She even gets down on her hands and knees and scrapes the lint off the top of the carpet- wonder where she learned that? She also has taken a great interest in the sponge. If she gets her hands on that, everything turns up wet and soapy. Sofia also loves to help take care of other babies and her baby dolls. When we are with Aevary, she is constantly taking out her pacifyer and then giving it back to her. I know it defeats the purpose when she removes it, but she lovingly gives it back. She has also started to put her baby dolls to sleep by rocking them. Once they are sleeping, she says 'shhh'. She's too cute! One of these days, I'll make a video of it because it's too precious for words.

Sofia has fallen in love with the pool. Saturday, at Lifetime, she walked in the shallow end by herself, played in the fountain, danced in the water and even jumped to me in the deep end. We swam with Ava, Carson, Isabella, and Aevary for 2 1/2 hours. We had too much fun!

aren't thesee 3 just the cutest thing you've ever seen?

My sweet girl is getting sweeter by the day. My mom actually asked me, "Has she gotten cuter since yesterday?" Sosa is growing and changing so much, I cherish these days and am thankful for such wonderful family and friends, sharing the experience with us. Love you all!
