When mom and daddy kiss, Sophie says "bye-bye" because one of us is usually on our way out the door. So it really catches her off guard when we just kiss for kissing sake.Everything comes to a stop when Sophie's toothbrush is flashing it's red light (we turn it on after the brushing and it goes for 1 minute). When it goes off, we can easily remove it from her hand, say prayers, goodnight kisses, and sing a bedtime song before putting her down for the night.
Her new favorite accessory is her semi-empty bowl of food worn as a lovely hat.
When she hears good music she will put her hands up and make a kiss noise (her sign that she wants up) so mom can hold her in her arms and with one arm out dance around the room (ballroom style).
Our smarty pants loves to play a game where we spread out her flashcards on the floor (they are usually there anyway) and then say, "Where's the ___?" Then she will search for the picture and pick it up. She is right about 85-90% of the time. Hmmm, time for new flashcards.
When out running errands, if she see another toddler, even older and bigger than her, she will sign "baby" and point to them.
She says hi to everyone and even cars or mailboxes now and then. If dad is holding her, after a while of cuddle time she will lean in right in front of his face and give him a cheerful "Hi!"
We love the huge build up for a jump. It doesn't matter if it is a 2 inch step, she will squat down and hold her arms back preparing for the big jump and then gleefully step off the edge. No jump, just a wind up. But she is quite pleased with her "jump."
She hates having her noise wiped (like most toddlers) and if she sees me coming to her with a tissue, she runs and hides behind the lace curtain where I can't see her.
We are encouraging her to crawl into her car seat which she is doing pretty well most the time. This brings tears to our eyes and relief to our backs.
We love our Sophie!

she's cute ! i can't believe that she's all grown up since we last saw her.
I have a great niece who had to say hi to everyone. Once while I was shopping with her and her mom, I pushed her stroller past a man walking the other way. She said "Hi" and the man just kept walking. She leaned around and kept shouting "Hi" until she couldn't see him anymore!! Some kids are just friendly. And yours is cute too!!!!!!!
What a darling little girl!
So sweet! Thanks for catching all those awesome Sophie-isms. It is great to get a little of her fun personality. It is amazing how you could love a little person you have never met! But I sure do love Sophie!
