Sophie - 4/6/2016

Sophie had a couple bites of jelly toast and two servings of mangoes for breakfast.  She ate a great lunch today - much more than yesterday.  She ate all but a couple bites of her beef & bean burrito serving, ate her sweet potatoes, and two servings of tropical fruit.  At the breakfast table I was pretending to take a sip of her cup, so she just turned it around and pointed the sippy stem in my direction.  No problem, here have a drink!  :)  Then she was chanting, "Laur-lee, Laur-lee, Laur-lee..."

Speaking of chanting, Sophie was chanting "Bubba, Avi, Bubba, Avi..."  Then later she was switching it up and saying, "Bubba, Bubby....Bubba, Bubby!"  And of course if she hears a peep out of them when they are sleeping she immediately alerts me!!  Which is frequently quite helpful!!  I was singing, "There was a Mommy had a boy and Bubba was his name, B U B B A, B U B B A....."  She was saying the next person's name for me to sing about.  "Avi, Nora, Me (pointing at herself)"

Here's a picture of Sophie doing some painting at Art Time.  She did really well and was having fun with the process!  And of course that's what it's all about at this age - the process!  Then we did some stickers too and she always likes to do stickers.

I frequently lay Baby Avi under the railing next to the mirror so she can watch herself in the mirror. Then I'll put a couple of animals on the railing for her to look up at.  Sophie likes to stuff the railing full of all the animals she can find.  Then she was pointing at the zebra poster and saying, "Zeba, zeba."  Although in the picture below I think she may be looking above the zebra poster.
