2.5 years... 30 months...130 weeks of Sophia...oh my goodness.
I cannot believe we are on the downward slope towards three years old. It goes way to fast. Just as with every phase of her life to this point... this might be my favorite age!
SOPHIA - -
Is now and always has been the sweetest, most content, loving, considerate, generous, caring, funniest little girl in the history of little girls.Talks and talks and talks. Some of our favorite Sophia-isms include but are not limited to:
- Whoa! It's HEABY! (Heavy)
- I want...(it, papas, the beach, swimming, grandma's house, eat, pickles, a snack, etc)
- I don't want... Both of which she crosses her arms across her chest, tilts her head down, and stares up at you through the tops of her eyes.
- Um...Mommy?
- Daaaah-deeeee!
- My tummy is HUNGRY!
- Red is STOP! Green is GO GO GO! Yeh-yo (yellow) is swow-down!
- My turn my turn!
- Awwww....Chuck is cute! Followed by NO CHUCK! GET DOWN!
- Wuv you!
- It's dark in here!
- Aaaaaapril!!
