18 Months

Sophie had her 18 month check up last week and all went well. She is 30.5 inches long, which is in the 19th percentile and she weighs 22 lbs., which is in the 17th percentile. If this is any indicator of who she is taking after, I think it's safe to say that she will favor her mommy in stature rather than her daddy.

Sophie is really talking now, putting sentences together and suprising us every day with her ever-growing vocabulary. She is REALLY into shoes, and puts her shoes on every morning as soon as she gets up and begs to go "side" (outside). She can now open everything that has a twist cap on it, including her sippy cups. My favorite words of hers right now are "morie" which is more, "pappy" which is pacifier and "oh no" which she says WHENEVER she sees any kind of mess (garbage in a parking lot, a crumb on the floor, dirt on her hands....yes, she is a bit compulsive!). Sophie has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh. She also loves to cuddle and love on everyone, even if they don't want it. :-) She is a sweet, sweet girl and we're having a blast watching her as she becomes more of her own little person.

This is how she dressed today - she insisted on those shoes and the hat. She has her own opinion about fashion already....
