Sophia loves to do this puzzle. It has about eight pieces. It has a race-car, a helicopter, an ambulance, a train, a ship, an airplane, a motorcycle, and a fire-truck... She likes to do it and then she removes the pieces to do it all over again. She is also a friendly neighbor. She likes to say Hi to all neighbors walking near our house. She also likes to play golf and kick a big ball.

Niabi Zoo

Sophia is starting to repeat words (agua, milk, hi, bye-bye, peas)! she liked to say monkey this morning, so we decided to go to the zoo. She and Assen watched a movie while I drove to the zoo. She said Hi to every single animal and also bye-bye to all of them. We enjoyed watching the little monkeys hang from ropes and play. We forgot to bring her stroller. Well, she did all the walking and never got tired! She rode the merry-go-round. She also ate pretty good today. She had a hamburger at McDonald's. She likes to hold my hand and take me wherevere she wants to go. Sometimes, she just wants to play with toys, sometimes she wants me to read books to her.
