Sophia is rapidly growing with all sorts of new moves, sounds, and facial expressions. I went into her room after she'd fallen asleep for a nap the other day only to find her on her stomach and asleep!!! I was totally freaked out of course but she couldn't have been happier!
It's weird to watch her grow up because she just changes so much from day to day. On one hand I'm a little sad that she's not my tiny little "squish" (I gave her the nickname squishy because when she was born she was just like this squishy little caterpillar that would lay on your chest and look around), but on the other hand whenever she does something new I'm so proud of her like she just accomplished something major and that no one else's kid has ever done something that amazing all by themselves.
When she woke up form a nap the other day, she was hissing and I was cracking up!!! I tried not to interrupt her because I wanted to video her and I was able to...it was very funny. I also call her my little kitty because when she gets out of the bath she has a little kitty towel and we always look in the mirror and say, "Look at the little kitty!" She's so sweet when she smiles. Amine says give that hissing kitty some milk!
It must be so wonderful to be so amazed by everything...seeing yourself in the mirror, playing with your hands, finding a new toy, or the most exciting thing, a colorful shirt with letters! The dogs have become especially intriguing now and when sitting on someone's lap, she continually reaches out for them and of course nasty Maci licks her hand! I'm just going to have to get over disgusting things going into her mouth because I do not have any control over it.
Losing control is another thing that is pretty foreign to me. Right now I can control when she sleeps, eats, and where she is in the house....playing on the floor, playing in her baby einstein play gym, or sitting with mommy. Although I feel like I have control of these things, I really don't....totally not something easy for me. If everyday is not textbook....it just drives me crazy. I want to not be that way, but it's hard. I'm pretty sure the more she moves, the more I'll back off and GIVE IT UP!
I love that baby so much. I tell her she's my best friend and I cannot even tell you how much I kiss that girl. Better do it while I can, because in like 12 years she won't want anything to do with me! :-)
