1. You believing my kisses have supernatural healing powers (and of course they do).
2. Listening to you and daddy pretend talking with your play dolls. He does a very good snow white.
3. Hearing you squeal with excitement when we are playing chase, hide n go seek, or tickle monster.
Oh and just an extra little thing (as if there arent a gazillion more)…you saying the word TICKLE. It is the sweetest little sound and you work so hard to say it perfectly. Tickle.
Today we were all in the pool and daddy and I started to count your toys and we said 1,2,3 and then you carried on and said 4, 5, 6, 7,8,9…and we yelled 10! You are so smart!! Just to note a few other funny things you have been saying/doing:
Last week you walked outside and saw a bug on the ground. You walked up to it, waved, and said “Hi bug, what u doin here?”. LOL.
When you dont like what we are telling you (like the word NO), you say “Shhh, no more talking”.
You saw people horseback riding on the beach at sunset and you started waving like crazy at the horses and then when they passed us you started chasing them screaming “Come Baaaaack”.
Whenever we go to the grocery store you walk us right over to the ice cream section and pull out the same ice cream cone every time. You then walk up to the register and hand it to the cashier. She hands it back and you walk outside and sit on your little stair to eat it.
You say the cutest little “pleeeeeeeeeaaase” i have ever heard.
You wave to all animals as we ride by and say hi to them “hi bok bok”, “hi woof woof”, “hi horsey”, “hi monkey”.
I am exhausted b/c you have just fell asleep and it is 11pm! I will update more when i can muster up some energy. Love you crumpet butt!
Well, I am a little behind on the blog since we got back a week ago and have been catching up on all the things around the house, work, etc. Anyway, I am still smiling from our trip to Disney! It rained on and off every single day (thank you tropical storm Debby) and we still managed to have one of the best trips. I had over 700 photos to go through when I got home and Sophie was smiling in almost every single one! Some of my favorite memories are:
1. When we first left the airport I was carrying Sophie and she saw Nana ahead of us and pushed to get to the ground. She then started running towards Nana screaming “NANA WAIT” and then ran into her arms and laid her head down on Nana’s shoulders. It was such a hallmark moment. I will remember that always (and i’m guessing Nana will too)
2. Papa fell asleep on the couch and Sophie was relentlessly trying to wake him up with her wand, then finally she just jumped on him and snuggled him making some weird high pitch sound that I have never heard before.
3. Catching Nana dancing in Magic Kingdom on video, and watching her ride the motor scooter to papa.
4. Watching Sosi dance her little bum off in front of everyone on the ferry.
5. Looking at a flat walkway and listening to Papa tell me he is walking uphill.
6. Taking Sosi on the merry-go-round over and over and over again. Listening to her scream “GO” at the choo choo train and fall asleep while sitting up on the train in Animal Kingdom.
7. Riding Dumbo and watching Sosi run to pick out which Dumbo she wanted to sit on.
8. Watching Sophie wrestle with Papa, play hide n seek with Nana, and wake up each morning climbing off the bed saying “Nana, Papa” as she headed out the bedroom door.
9. Looking at Sosi’s face when the parade went by and fireworks went off. She was just in awe.
10. On the last night tater tot fell asleep at 8:30pm and then of course woke up at 10pm b/c naturally my daughter will not fall asleep at 8:30pm and stay asleep. Anyway, at 10pm she woke up and just started walking around the room saying “It’s dark in here. It’s dark in here”. As tired as Will and I were, we were just cracking up and chiming in, “It’s dark in here”. This prob. went on for an hour at least.
Below is the album from our trip. I am so glad we all met there and despite the rain, travel issues, and poor aunt Kiki getting some unknown illness and not being able to come, it was an amazing time! Sophie is still watching videos from the trip and will point to the computer and say “nana, papa” (this means turn on a video of me, nana and papa).
Happy 2nd Birthday to our sweet, energetic, hilarious, loving and beautiful nugget! XOXO
We had an amazing day for an amazing daddy!!! It started with a special cooked breakfast for daddy, followed by the beach all afternoon, then some fun in the pool and finished off with some pizza and ice cream. We had a black lab (we named buddy woof woof, but apparently his name was Bruno) follow us home from the beach and spend the night. It was like a little sleep over play date. We found his owner this morning and he is back home safe, bathed, and well fed. Here are some pics from the day.
