Sofia at 23 months.....

Sofia turned 23 months yesterday and we spent the day visiting my nephew Robert, who is currently in the Air Force at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX. Sofia had fun meeting her cousin and we survived the horrid heat! Sofia is becoming an absolutely fearless swimmer, even though she's still short on the swimming part. She holds her breath while sliding down the slid or jumping into the water like a pro, but the kicking and pulling part are still being learned. She is making progress though.

Sofia continues to talk up a storm! She has some favorites that she continues to say regularly, including: "Oh boy!", "Let's do it!", "Mommy hold her!" (which really means "Mommy hold me"), and many others. She still loves trains and we say "Hi" to the train tracks each time we drive over them. She continues to love "reading" her books and especially likes when someone will read to her. Her Green Beup-Beup is still her very favorite buddy and she has a crib full of stuffed animal friends. She continually surprises us with her comments and seems so much older than she is!
