Ashes, Ashes and other nonsense!

Oh my goodness, it seems as though things are changing around here by the moment. Every day, Sofia changes and grows. This is a brief summary of her latest funny things. I don't want to forget them.

She shusshes herself. I hope that it isn't because we "shhhh" her too much, because we don't mean to do that. But, she will yell, or scream and then immediately put her first finger up to her mouth (sort of) and say "Shhhhhhh". It is too adorable. Maybe she got that from school, I just don't know.

She backs up. Sofia was in the TV cabinet with Daddy the other day trying to help him work the iPod. Clyde told her to "back up" and the girl started doing the moon walk backwards. The really funny thing about it, was that she walked backwards clear across the room until she backed into the furniture. And what is more amazing.....she knew it was funny. She had the cheekiest little grin on her face. I must admit that this command has come in handy several time since.

Ashes, Ashes......Sof's favourite song. She breaks into a grin as soon as we start singing it. Her rules......everyone must participate! Often this includes Barclay or any stuffed toys that may be lying around. She sings "ashes, ashes" and then we fall down. Sofia watches us fall down and then we must watch her fall down. The really cute part of all of this is how she practices her "ashes, ashes". Sometimes at night we can hear her saying it over and over in her crib.


Come on now.....everyone hold hands. Daddy, out of that chair.


"Ashes, Ashes"


Falling down. Oh yeah, in case you didn't notice.....four molars in the last four weeks. YOWZER!!



Phew......better take a bit of a breather before we have to do it again.

Bye!! Sofia says "Bye" and waves to everyone. It is too cute but it just breaks my heart when people don't notice that she is waving and saying goodbye to them. She does it so sweetly and just wants everyone to tell her "Bye" too. She even hides in the closet while I am trying to get dressed in the morning, closing the door after herself waving and saying "Bye".

Uh Oh! This was a new one today. I don't think she knows what it means, I think she just likes the way it sounds and feels.

She really is such a sweet kid and is at a stage where she gives kisses freely. Yesterday while out front with Jake, she went up behind him and gave him a big hug and then again tonight when Peter came over to visit she gave him a big kiss goodnight.....too damn cute.
