This one is funny, and yet it’s not. Because she got in trouble for it.
As we were pulling in the driveway tonight from dinner, Brian and I were talking. I don’t even remember about what and Sophia yells from the backseat, “Daddy, shut up!” I’m not even sure where she got it from. I’m sure it’s come out of my mouth at one time or another, but it’s not something we frequently say!
Uh oh.
Do you think she loves her?
Now that Ella is getting bigger and is playing more, Sophia is loving it. I can’t wait until Ella can crawl after her though. Sophia better watch out, paybacks are coming!
It seems like I take so many pictures of Ella these days and not as many of Sophia. Honestly, Sophia won’t sit still long enough for me to take a picture! And she is getting worse and actually even LOOKING at me when I have the camera. Here is one of her funny faces that she makes, she sometimes does it when she’s talking and it cracks me up.
And here she is putting together a puzzle. Again, not looking at me.
We got this for Sophia when she was younger and now it’s Ella’s. I must say, Ella enjoys it a lot more than Sophia used to. I’d be sad if I lost it and so would Ella!
Finally, it was time. We retired the infant carrier. I think Sophia was about 10 months when we put her in her big girl carseat. We just couldn’t wait that long with Ella. She is almost 19 lbs and it was getting a little heavy for me to lug around.
So, good bye infant carrier. It was a long run and you made us proud lasting through 2 girls.

She also gives it an A+ for comfort.
When did she get so big?
And look how much smaller Sophia was when we put her in it. And Sophia was a couple months older than Ella is now in these pictures.
Yesterday we took Ella to the doctor and I was trying to distract Sophia until she came into the room. I said to her, “Sophia, can you do a somersault?” and she looked at me and put her hand up and goes, “Mommy, let’s wait until the doctor comes in.” I said, “You want to show her your somersault?’ and her reply, “Yes.”
Then in the afternoon we were sitting at the table eating lunch and Max & Ruby came on in the living room. She yells, “Look Mommy! Max & Ruby! Stop. Don’t change it. It’s MY turn.”
She cracks me up.
I would have to say that Sophia’s most favorite and most used Christmas present are her Disney Princess dress up shoes. She wears them EVERYWHERE. Well, inside the house. She isn’t allowed to wear them outside. She walks around in them though pretty much the entire time she’s in the house! She calls them her “dancing shoes.” When she is watching Alvin & The Chipmunks (her new favorite movie) and one of the dancing scenes comes on, she will say, “Wait, let me get my dancing shoes!” She will go and put them on, stand in front of the TV, and dance 
Even first thing in the morning, in her jammies.

And lastly, Sophia telling me “No Mommy, wait. Don’t dance.”
Yesterday after the gym I was taking the girls into the house. I asked Sophia to carry my water bottle for me and she asked me if she could have some. I told her sure. She replied, “I can’t drink that Mommy, your lipstick is on it.” She meant my chapstick, but it’s funny because she will never drink from it unless I “wipe off my lipstick.”
I got the mail today and there was a letter in there for Sophia from Logan. Sophia was soooo excited to open it!
Stickers!! She was so excited, she loves stickers.
And a note from Logan.
And this is the one she put on first.
Sia. That’s what Sophia calls herself, so that’s what we call her sometimes now, too. Sia. She never fails to make me crack up laughing each and every day. She is always saying or doing funny things. I decided to start writing (trying to) down something (or things) she says or does each day and posting them. So, to start out with, here are a few things from over the weekend.
1) Sophia: “What is that, Mommy”(looking into the container of sour cream) “Oohhhhh!! Aaahhhhh!!”
2) Sophia: (takes a drink of apple juice) “That makes me feel good, Mommy!”
3) Bedtime. Sophia didn’t want to get in bed and go to sleep so she went into the corner of her room and sat on the floor, “Mommy, I’m really mad at you.” OK, thanks honey, now get in bed.
More to come later
