Sophie - 7/6/2016

Sophie had two or three bites of jelly toast and two servings of mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bean & beef burrito, sweet potatoes, and two servings of tropical fruit.  Shortly after Daddy Pat dropped off Sophie (he had not left yet) she was sitting on Lauralea's lap looking at a wildlife poster. She pointed at a deer (doe) and said, "Mommy."  Then at a buck deer and said, "Daddy."  We were impressed.  :)

I love this picture of the two resident Mommies with all their "mothering instincts!"  Sophie and Riley attending to Baby Avilene.  Sophie was also quite enthralled with Avi's golden slippers!  I took this picture when we were outside yesterday afternoon.  Riley is going to love coming here after school in the Fall; especially considering Baby Nora will be starting at the same time.  Cooper frequently asks about Baby Nora.  Today he asked; "Do you remember Baby Nora?"  :)

I'm posting these next two pictures together.  They represent how Cooper and Sophie "jump" off the igloo.  Cooper does the jumping and Sophie mimics what he does at the end of his jump.  He was diving down between the Big Bears and saying, "I'm Ok!!"  After every jump.  So Sophie skipped the jumping and went directly to the "I'm Ok!!" part.  :)

Speaking of Cooper and Sophie playing together I heard Sophie chanting this morning; "Doggen-head, Doggen-head, Doggen-head."  Nice.  At Little Treasures that is considered an important developmental Milestone!!  Ha!  (Please feel free to ask for further clarification if this makes absolutely no sense!!)  Ha!
