We can see two more teeth coming on her upper gums. Sophia is repeating more words. She likes to say "no more," "hi," "thank you," "leche," etc. She woke up calling Assen ("acho"). She continues being adorable. She was a little bit cranky today. We think maybe her gums are hurting.

Christmas Day

Sophia and Assen opened all the gifts early in the morning. Assen got a razor scooter and Sophia got a dolly. We had dinner at K's cousin's house. Today, we went walking on the Wilhelm Lake trail.

Sophia is learning to give kisses

Sophia is eating very well and she makes all kinds of noises. She really wants to start talking. She's learned to wave her hand to say bye bye, and surprisingly, she came to give me a good night smack! she is sooooo cute!
She is 19.5 pounds. We are ready to turn her seat in the car. I wonder how she is goiing to do in our long trip to PA this Sunday. We shall see...
