Happy half birthday, Sophia!
You are a joy to have around. I’m thankful that I’ve been able to share in all the days God has given you already.
In the last several months, you’ve earned a few extra names:
- Little Gyroscope – when you spin, turn, and roll your way across the room
- Miss Sunshine – at 5 am when you’re really happy to see another face
- Miss Tootsalot –at 1 am and 3 am and…
- Fia!! – when Caleb wants a playmate. It’s also a common refrain in the morning when I go in to get Caleb up for the day. He loves to see you first thing in the morning and have you read our morning story with us.
- Miss Persistence – when you find another leaf to stuff in your mouth and when you successfully eat a Cheerio all by yourself after trying again and again and again
- Punk Rocker – for your mohawk. I’m trying to decide between pink barrettes and purple hair dye. Halloween is coming up…. (With Caleb’s mohawk, we simply cut it when it got too long. What do you do with girl hair at this age? And no, this is still not an option.)
Miss Sunshine (with a toothy grin)
Miss Bank-Robber-In-Training
(otherwise known as “Mommy hasn’t gotten me a girly hat yet”)
General Sophia update:
- Close to dropping her 3rd nap during the day.
- Not close to sleeping through the night. at all. I don’t think she’s slept through night once since I wrote about it last.
- Started eating some solid food, but isn’t very interested. She’s very interested in getting Cheerios in her mouth, but not very excited about actually eating them.
- Tries to get up onto her knees into a crawling position, but it’s rather difficult on our wood floors, so she usually ends up scooting backwards and stuck underneath chairs.
- Loves sitting up and watching everything that’s going on.

I vote for purple hair dye with hot pink barrettes.
Love! And as for non-girly accessories, I have a navy blue hoodie Laura wears sometimes. Every time she does, people here assume she's a boy. Sigh. They don't get the need to not have pink all the time, do they.... :) Miss you.
I vote for purple hair dye, and Miriam says, "Pink is a good color." I'm quite relieved to hear the scary flower bow is not yet an option, and I adore the first picture. :)
