18 Months!

Sophia turned 18 months right after Christmas, we had her check-up with the Doctor last week. Sophia is doing great, she was the 50% percentile in height, weight and head circumference. She was happy the whole time we were in the office and she took her shots like a champ. We are all glad that she won't need another immunization for a couple of years. She weighed in at 23lbs 12 OUNCES and was 34 inches tall, and as always as adorable as can be. She is also doing great with all of her problem solving, motor and communication skills.

Sophia is becoming quite a helper, she eagerly helps clean up her activities, sorts her toys and her cheerios. We really don't mind when she dumps her toys or peas on the table, she usually picks them up, its part of her problem solving :)

Drum roll please.... Sophia can READ! We have been doing "Your Baby Can Read" series with her, which is basically a video that highlights various words, flashcards and picture books that also have the words. I heard her read "eyes" without me doing anything! Then Jason a few days later heard her read "Nose" and "Clap" - all from the book, no audio giving her the answers! Sophia can read, wow and to think that only 18 months ago, she was just learning how to open her eyes, amazing.
