Sophie is 14-months old today. Amazing. And what difference a month makes. Sophie at 13-months is nowhere near Sophie at 14-months. It's like she went through some kind of cognitive spurt and has grown into such a walking, talking, thinking little person with a mind of her own in the past four weeks. Everyday, we discover something new that she's learned how to do-- like this morning when she neatly tucked her socks into her shoes after she removed them (the socks) herself-- and it is just so wonderful. In particular, we've just been floored by her language skills. Right now, she can say mama, dada, po-po (for my mom) ball, flower, sit, mo-mo (Elmo), night night, no-no, dog, ba-na (banana), bye, water, and hah-oh (hello). She can also sign (and say) book, milk and more.
But there are some things our little Sophie still needs to learn:
A grapefruit is not a ball.
Bath water is not for drinking. Neither is rainwater that has accumulated in her wagon.
Weekends are for sleeping in.
Applesauce is not hair product.
Shoes go on the feet, not in the mouth.
It will not hurt to eat other foods apart from cantaloupe and crackers.
Diaper change is not a form of torture.
Not everything that has four legs is a duck.
