ridiculous - 15 months

i know, it is ridiculous. i have not posted in months. it is what it is. i will jump in at real time...i wont even attempt to catch up on all i have missed...

my baby is not a baby anymore. she is almost 15 months and is a toddler in all senses of the word. she has given up bottles she is quite the TALKER - her vocabulary expands daily. she can say so, so much! she knows her farm animal, zoo animal, cat dog, noises. she can tell you if she wants more or if she is all done (sign language). she says "NO" to LOTS...her new favorite word. she says hat and shoes - she will clearly love accessorizing and fashion like her mommy :). she eats table food and baby food, but of course prefers whatever mommy and daddy have on their plates. and our newest development....she is WALKING! i would say officially as of yesterday. she has toddled around 3 or so steps here and there only when i "forced" her too by suddenly pulling my finger from her death grip around it...but yesterday she stood herself up and took off on her own for 10 plus steps! such a proud moment for mommy and daddy! of course we cheered and squealed and begged her to do it again. she has...all day long today!ON YAY! i am sure walking will be our desired mode of transportation in no time. i am so excited! this opens up so many new exciting doors for us. the park is now more than just swings, and sophia is free to explore the world in a whole new way. i am beyond proud and thrilled for her! she

in case my blog is not indication enough...sophia keeps me busy beyond belief! ON TOP of the crazy fun mess that is raising a toddler...we also moved! we moved "back home" to tyler in August. my darling hubs was out of state for work during the majority of the process so i single handedly packed every last possession of ours and unpacked it all myself too. i attended both closings (for the sale of our old home and purchase of our new one) and signed Power of Attorney on hubs behalf. SO MUCH FUN...NOOOOOT! NEVER AGAIN! i seriously hope to die in this new house. partially because moving was such a nightmare, and also because i LOVE LOVE LOVE our new home. so please friends, come visit :)

i know there is much more to be said, but hey. at least i showed a little love to this web address. it was beginning to get all cob webby and dusty :)
