Sophie - 3/4/2016

Sophie ate several bites of brown rice and ate raisins for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of her meat loaf, ate pita bread, bites of carrots, and ate apricots.  During Lunch Time today (and previous days, especially yesterday) Sophie was chanting "Momma, Da-da, Bubba."  Cooper seems to think she's talking to him and she does pick up the tempo when she realizes it's bugging him!!  Today at Lunch Cooper was yelling, "I'm not your Momma!!"  "I'm not your Da-da!"  "My name is NOT Bubba!!"  And then for clarification he has been adding, "Bubba is on the Airplane!!"  (And she'd just look at him with a grin and say, "Bubba.")  After saying that several times he changed it today to say, "Bubba is with his Grandma."  I guess Bubba has finally landed!  :)

How's this for a "throw-back" picture?  I was looking for a picture of Nora (I was actually wanting to read some of Nora's Blogs and look at Developmental stages) when she was approximately the same age as Sophie and I found this picture of her with Baby Cooper.  Love.  I believe Cooper was a couple months younger than Hudson in this picture, but this could be Sophie and Bubba!!

This picture is pretty self-explanatory!  These two really enjoy each other.  (And they have similar temperaments.)  I took this picture right after their naps and (as you all probably know) that's a time of day when the kids are more prone to loving expressions and a good time for pictures!!  Ha!!

Sophie has been going for the same books this week - first thing in the morning after hair fixing ritual and singing with Lauralea - she finds the books, "London Bridge" and "Today is Monday."  Also this morning, Lauralea was trying to coax a Goodbye Hug out of Sophie.  Cooper heard that and he came running for his love...Sophie started yelling, "Mine mine mine!!!!"  That's one way to get your hug!
