Ten Months Together

Today we celebrate 10 months together. Sofia is growing quickly. She is 33 1/4 inches tall, and weighs 25 pounds. Ten months ago, the caregivers at Sofia's orphanage told me that she will be tall and thin. I think they are right. She also has very big feet. The footsie pajamas that she wears are too small.... in the feet, so she moved up a size.... Hmmm, perhaps she will be a great swimmer, or at least a great grape squisher.

Tooth Alert: For the past month, her molars have been growing through. Sofie's fourth molar is almost totally out. Her eye teeth are about to pop. Ouch.

Sofie loves going outside. (Thankfully, we've had gorgeous fall weather!) She now gets her shoes and walks to the door to let me know that she wants to go out. She has a daily routine of walking down the block, and touching the stop sign pole before heading to the park. The swing is her favorite. The higher, the better....as you can see in the pictures above.

Sofia is saying more each day. Yesterday, she began finishing "Ready, Set, _____" She actually says "Doe" instead of "Go"..cute.

We attend music class every Tuesday. There are 12 other 12-24 month olds in her class. It's quite adorable to watch them. She gets homework each week. This week we practice soft and loud when we sing the weekly homework song. Fun times.
