Where is our birthday girl hiding???
There she is!!!
What an amazing year!! I can't believe how much Sophia has changed in such a short time. It has been pure joy watching her learn and grow each day.
Since last month, Sophia has added a few more words to her vocabulary including "hi" and "night-night." I think the next one may be "all done," but at this point it's a phrase that only Mommy would recognize. She loves to "talk" on the phone, but has quickly learned to hang up if she finds the conversation dull. If I point to a picture of Will and ask her who it is, she'll say "Dad" but when I point to a picture of me, she'll say "Daddy," so we still have a little more work to do on that skill!
She really enjoys organizing things and placing things in containers. She's a great helper when it comes to putting her toys away, but occasionally she organizes some things on her own, and I find graham crackers and gold fish crackers neatly placed in my pots and pans! She is fascinated by all the nooks and crannies of the dishwasher, but we have discouraged her from helping with that chore for now.
She is constantly on the move, which has made baby gates a necessity. She always has her eyes on the gates and will make a quick dash for them as soon as she notices we have left one open. Most of the time she just likes to walk back and forth through them. When she does venture off through the rest of the house, I often find her sitting quietly in her room reading her books. It's so cute!
Despite being a full blown toddler, she is still a very affectionate, snuggly kiddo. She can blow kisses (although Gramma's the only one who can get her to do it consistently), and she can give the sweetest kisses on the cheek if asked. She is still wild about Trent, and she'll usually ask for "da" as soon as she wakes up. He'll come right in and kiss her hand through the slats in the crib - it's so sweet!

I'm sure there have been more changes that I'm forgetting, but she is learning at such a rapid pace, it's near impossible to keep up! I sometimes miss that tiny baby we brought home a year ago, that would sleep through an entire meal eaten at a restaurant, but then I start thinking about what she'll be like when she's 2, and 3 and 4, and I can barely stand waiting!
P.S. Is it just me, or did Sophia quadruple in size between 1 and 2 months??

She is such a cutie. I really like the 7 month picture. Sam and I understand your feeling of missing the past stages and being excited about the future. I try my best to just enjoy the present - both the good and the bad aspects of having a 2 year old.
I love these pictures of Sophia. what an amazing year it has been watching her grow and learn. She is so precious.
