A few of her favorite things....

Sofia is really growing up quickly and she seems to change daily. She knows all of her animals - she can't say all of them yet, but points to each animal in her book when asked. She loves touching the 'sticky' tongue of the dog in her Dogs book and also says 'sticky' very well. I try to remember all of the words she says, but I probably should write them down. She can say hi, bye-bye, papa, mama, baby, puppy, car, sticky, no (I only hear that 100 times a day), yeah (her version of yes), duck, milk, water (not that it sounds exactly like the word), truck, pool, bear, good girl, bubbles, flowers, penguin, airplane (this sounds more like a-pane).

The following pictures were taken over the past few weeks as I've tried to capture a few of the things she loves....

Her beloved puppy, who she is kissing. She sleeps with him and another puppy every night and usually carries him around the house


Books! She is absolutely her father's daughter! Sofia can look at her books for nearly an hour in her room alone. She usually looks at them upside down though! The Dogs book is in the foreground and is easily her favorite. Her other favorite is Good Night Cowgirl, which is a cute Texas-style good night book that CK reads to her.


Sleeping! She LOVES to sleep and falls asleep on her tummy sucking her left thumb and rubbing her belly button with her right hand. I took this picture when I needed to wake her up to go somewhere and thought it was very cute.


She loves carrying a 'purse' around to put things into and take things out of. She usually uses a little shopping bag that I got several weeks ago, but we're practicing with the pumpkin for Halloween


Her 'chair'! This is actually the top of her stroller, which she spent countless hours in when she was younger on the Hill, but we haven't used it here in awhile. Instead, she loves to climb into it and hang out.


Her penguin - she had a love-hate relationship with her penguin for awhile, but know she loves to play with him and carry him around by his top knot.


Bath time! Sofia LOVES taking baths and playing in the water. She turns into a prune before she is ever ready to get out!
