I was looking back at some pictures of Sophie and noticing how much she is starting to change. These two pictures are less than 3 months apart. The bottom one was posted on 9/22.

Sophie - 12/10/2015
Sophie was at Kinder-Music this morning so there isn't much to write about her today. She arrived in time for lunch and she ate a bite of two of baked chicken, half of her dinner roll serving, ate hash browns, and two servings of cherries.

Sophie - 12/9/2015
Sophie ate a couple bites of blueberry muffin and ate a large serving of peaches for breakfast. For lunch she ate most of her ham slice, a very large serving of homemade mac-n-cheese, ate corn, and most of her apple pieces. Reid is not here today and at breakfast I was trying to get her to say "Cooper." She never did try to say Cooper, but he started bobbing his head around being silly and she was sure giggling at him. So cute.
I combed all of Sophie's hair straight forward and then we were having fun laughing together. How cute is this picture!? Earlier we were reading books and she sat for probably 3 of them. She was playing and when I realized her barrette was missing I asked, "Where's your hair barrette?" She immediately turned around and went over by the bookrack and picked it up. Nice job Sophie!! (It was dripping wet! Ha!) We'd read "Old MacDonald" book and several times I heard her walking around saying, "Ei, Ei, Ei,...."
Cooper was sitting on the floor reading a couple of books and Sophie joined him. The book in the picture is "Little Spot of Color." And you can see he has the GREEN page open. (His favor.) Sophie is holding the "Dinosaurs" book and that's the one he read next. We had read these yesterday and he can basically read them from memory of course. He said, "I LOVE this book because it has dinosaurs."
Cooper was building a "T-Rex" with the big building blocks and he said, "Sophie, Do you want to help me build?" I thought that was pretty cool. However, it did not go real well and a few moments later he said, "I don't need your help!!" And moments later, "You can't knock it over!!" :)

Sophie - 12/8/2015
Sophie ate two servings of breakfast: waffle and pears. For lunch she ate everything; tuna and crackers, sweet potatoes, and mandarin oranges.
I love being able to post pictures on these Blogs. They tell the story so much better and faster than I can and you can get a nice visual of her day at Little Treasures. She was so proud of herself for stashing gobs of books behind the book rack. When she had emptied the bookrack she looked at me and got my attention. (I'd already been watching her.) My first thought was "take a picture!" But I knew I already had 4 pictures I wanted to post so I resisted. :)
She can open the door to the changing table steps and she plays there frequently. When she opened it this morning there was a "Cooper Stash!" He had his legos truck in there and she was pretty tickled at what she found. :) And I had time to take a picture. :)
This is where Sophie ran and "hid" when I told her it was time to fix her hair. :) As you can see in the picture she's pretty proud of herself too!
When Reid saw Sophie wearing this mask he said, "You ARE the big bad woof (wolf) Hophie!!" Ha! I love how she'll want the mask on and then leave it on for two or three minutes. And that's a LONG time for her age.
She was laying in front of Hudson and then started rolling into him. I was laughing and she started laughing and it was all fun and games UNTIL Hudson got a handful of hair. Oh man, she started howling like crazy! It probably hurt her feelings as much as anything!! :)

Sophie - 12/7/2015
Sophie ate chex cereal and a large serving of mixed fruit for breakfast. For lunch she ate beef sandwich, no tomato soup, and bites of lettuce salad. When I was putting on her bib and pulling up her sleeves I said, "Wow!" (Her sleeves were a little snug over her arms.) She said, "Wow!" :)
Reid was playing with a toy on the couch and Sophie was playing in front of the couch. She looked up and saw how close his head was to her head - hmmm, thats convenient - so she leaned forward and laid her head on his. It was so cute and sweet.
We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids pretty much occupied themselves with that all morning. I took these pictures when Sophie was playing with the food toys. She'd been watching Cooper build his sandwich and she started stacking her food too. Until the second picture when she decided to just eat the "cheese." :)
We sang some songs and read books. Sophie sat for two or maybe three books and then got down to start putting on dress-up clothes and work boots. She also walked in with me to get Hudson from his nap and he had a huge smile for her.

Sophie - 12/3/2015
For Lunch Sophie ate most of turkey slices, most of dinner roll, ate green beans, and two servings of mangoes.
Kinder-Music morning, but I still have to take a picture! We had time to fix her hair and play on the sit-n-spins before Lunch. At first she just wanted to stand on them, but after a few minutes she was sitting down and actually making it work. I took this picture when she started watching herself in the mirror too. I remember that's just how Nora was at that age - I could never have too many mirrors in one room!! :)
Every day when I take her into her bedroom for nap I hold her up so she can retrieve her binky off the shelf. Lately she's been thunking the sound machine with her binky before putting it in her mouth. She knows that comes next - turning on the sound. LOVE the routines!

Sophie - 12/2/2015
Sophie ate whole wheat toast and two servings of mixed berries for breakfast. For lunch she ate ham, crackers, bean & bacon soup, and two servings of strawberries.
I took this first picture yesterday afternoon. Kenzie and Cooper were in the igloo (behind Big Bear) calling, "Sophie, Sophie..." So she was showing me where they were hiding at. When I was taking some pictures she kept closing her eyes in anticipation of the flash. It was pretty funny and she knew she was being funny!
Sophie was up her to usual tricks this morning - grabbing Cooper's two blankets, Cooper's stuffed dinosaur (pterodactyl), Reid's blanket, Reid's Baby, Cooper's tractor book, and tractor sales catalogs. Ha! I took this picture when she was around the changing table with the dinosaur and then Cooper rescued it so Sophie just turned around and started reading his tractor books. :) Hey, if you bring it to Daycare it's all fair game!!
Initially Cooper had told Reid to get on his blanket; "Hop on!" So Reid got on, but Coop couldn't get the blanket to move! Ha! So he managed to coax Sophie onto his blanket, but then he gave it a mighty tug (right after I took this picture) and she toppled over. He tried to get her to give it another go, but she was way too smart for that!! You're not going to fool me twice! :)

Sophie - 12/1/2015
Sophie ate half of her blueberry bagel serving and ate apricots for breakfast. For lunch she ate chicken, elbow noodles, peas, and applesauce. Again, I mixed it all together and served it to her.
After fixing Sophie's hair Lauralea will frequently sing to her and do this slightly bouncy thing (with Sophie on her knee) that Lauralea calls, "walk, walk, walk,...trot trot trot,....gallopy, gallopy, gallopy." Today Sophie initiated it by sitting there and starting to bounce a little bit. It was so cute. And when Lauralea started doing it Sophie was BEAMING!! :) This picture kind of captures it.
I wonder how many times I've taken this exact same picture of lots of kids!?! Once they hear the echoing sound they like to do it over and over. Sophie was looking up at me and grinning and then doing it again. :) (Have I ever mentioned how cute she is!?!)
Sophie totally noticed the different picture on the calendar! First day of December and the picture is two deer. (Twin fawns - wrong time of year for that, but the calendar is all about baby animals!) So I said "deer" and she said, "de-ah." Nice job Sophie!!
She sat for more books than usual this morning. About that same time Hudson was waking up from his morning nap. Sophie heard the first sound from the monitor and she always gets SO excited. She was pointing, whipping her head around to see if I was responding - basically on the verge of hyperventilating!! Ha!
