21 Months

Sophia turns 21 months today. She loves people, taking care of her dolls and stuffed animals and putting as much stuff in her shopping cart and stroller as possible!

She has been correcting me lately when I tell her she is my baby girl by saying, "I big girl, Mommy." Also, she tells me to try and do an elephant noise and then tells me that I can't, but will when I'm older.

We love her heart for those who are hurting. She prays for people who are sick and gets very concerned if she sees someone has a wound or has fallen down. At the park today a little boy fell down and Sophia saw him, stopped where she was and prayed, "Jesus, help him." We love her sensitivity towards those who are hurting and pray that this is something that continues all of her life.

Every night before bed Sophia tells me, "No crying. Jesus is with you, Mama. Love you, Mama." I can't get enough of these words!

Her new phrase is, "I tired" which she tries to use when she doesn't want to do something or knows she just behaved in a poor way, but it doesn't fly around here.

Sophia can now spell her name and identify all the letters in her name as well as a capital "E."

We're hoping to move Sophia into her new room at the end of the month as well as into a toddler bed. Hopefully this works out well. We'll keep you posted.

This is where I found her after giving her a piece of my bagel.

She is a doll! She has such a tender heart and I can't wait to see how God is going to use her as she grows.
