Too Much

That's really the best way I can think of describing Sophia lately as we are headed down the slippery slope into toddler-hood. Too much personality. Too much drama. Too much of everything. And we wouldn't have her any other way! And really, am I surprised that my daughter has turned out this way? No, not at all.

She's definitely experiencing what I would call a "language explosion" these days. Like her brother, she hasn't really been that much of a talker previously. But the closer she gets to two the more I see the talkative side coming out in her. I truly fear for Matthew and what his life is going to be like soon, surrounded by three super-talkative family members. Even now, though she doesn't say too many actual words, Sophia is always talking. Yesterday at lunch I found myself feeling like I was seated between two squawking parrots, with her and Elijah!

Lately, her most favorite and oft-used word is, "yeah". Hmm, wonder where she got that from? Apparently I say "yeah" a lot! Ask her anything right now and the answer is always "yeah!". Other words and phrases used a lot lately are "bubble bath" and "I do".


Playing Wii with Elijah. Or at least, she thought she was playing!

 


She stole my purse!


This is exactly what I'm talking about. A common occurrence at breakfast, pouring her milk out of her sippy cup and finger painting with it.



She snatched this plum out of the fridge exclaiming "apple!". Then took a bite and said, "yew!". And then kept taking bites, spitting them out and saying "yew" over and over. Mmm hmm.
