19 Months

SOPHIE CLARE

IS

19 MONTHS!!

I can not even believe that my sweet baby girl has grown up so fast. Seems like yesterday that I held my 4 lb 13 oz baby girl. The blessing of a life time!! I have loved every second of her life. Yes, I have held her and done everything with her. I don't want to miss a moment of her sweet life. Being a mom in the beginning to me was easy.........I just would sit and hold now that she is getting older and a mind of her own............let me just say, it gets harder.

Even though it gets harder, I would not change a thing!!

Now what is Miss Sophie Clare up to these days??

For starters, she loves to work on things.

She loves to help with putting things together........I am not talking about puzzles.

This girl is all about a hammer and a nail.

A screw and a screw driver. 

I do not leave the those things out all the time but if she ever gets the tweezers, she heads straight for the door hinges.

In this pic, she is working on Gran and Pop's greenhouse door.

Thank you Aunt Angie for her bathing suit!!

We love it!!

LOOK AT THOSE CURLS!!!

Picture taking these days are much harder. It does not matter how loud I am or what sound I make, if she is busy......no time for pics.

She is sweet and sassy at times. Her little sassy is so cute but I know the older she gets, it will not be so cute!!  She loves to pucker adn give kisses and her hugs are the best. She even gives a little grunt at the end.  She is starting to say night before we rock which is the sweetest ever!!

Hey, Hi and di (by)  are favorite words.

She loves to read animal books and make a few animal sounds.

The monkey is her favorite along with a cow, dog and bird.

She loves to feed the kitty cats in morning.

Her smile just melts my heart!!

She is running now and just swing one little arm so hard.

It is so cute!!

She is now at 22lbs and 30 in tall!!

What a big girl!

She is a good little eater.

She especially loves fruit.......peaches, grapes, madrin oranges, bananas, watermelon, ect.

Cheese, pickles, chips, rice, pasta, any kind of  chicken, chicken salad, Mickey D fries, pizza  and the list could go on. She would eat anything as long as she can dip it!!  Some days she does not want much to eat but that is just her age. All in all I have a good little eater on my hands........not near as picky and I used to be!!

She is really enjoying her big girl bed. I usually rock her to sleep around 9 to 9:30 and hold her for about 30 mins. I have to make sure she is good and a sleep. Most every night she sleeps all night long but then there are those that she wakes up  and just needs a hand on her to go back to sleep. She usually wakes up around 8:30 in a pretty good mood.

She loves writing or coloring.

Riding the 4-wheeler with Gran and Pop is probably one of her faves.

Oh my sweet little girl!! I have said it over and over again..........I am so blessed and thankful for her!!

I look forward to the next month to see what she learns next!!
