Sophie-isms

Sophia is making the transition from toddler to little girl at an alarming speed, but there are a few cute toddler traits that she is still hanging on to. She still has several vocabulary words that are unique, and I've meaning to write them down so I don't forget.

water - "mo" or "marlow"

baby - "mamy"

oranges - "ernies"

raisins - "raineys"

bathing suit - "mamy suit"

blanket - "meek" or "mick"

crib/bed - "night-night"

food - "num-nums"

horse - "neigh"

cow - "moo"

Trent - "da" or "puppy-da"

Gramma/Grandpa - "ee-ma" or "ge-ma"/ "ee-pa" or "ge-pa"

Katherine - "kathy"

Elizabeth (our neighbor) - "bee"

Traice - "tee-cee"

When she wants to ask where something is, she'll say the first syllable of the object she's looking for, followed by the object. For example "Where's Daddy?" sounds like "da Daddy?" and "Where's the ball?" sounds like "ba ball?"

Since she was an infant, she has had a fascination with covering her face, and the fascination continues with a few new twists. She now calls the game "night-night" and likes to have us participate with her. Her favorite place to play "night-night" is on her trampoline. She also likes to play "night-night" on our bed, but she likes to go through our dirty laundry first and find one piece of my clothing and one piece of Will's instead of a blanket.

And she still puts a hand over her eye and sucks on her wrist when she's tired. It'll be interesting to see when she finally grows out of it, but until then, it's so stinkin cute!
