We’ve been watching a lot of Thomas the Tank Engine. *Makes bibbility face* They really need to find an alternative fuel source on the Island of Sodor.
A few pictures from yesterday….

Interesting Things Sophie is Doing These Days
Posted by internationalzen under UncategorizedLeave a Comment
Okay, maybe only interesting to me.
She calls/cries/says “mama” all the time, but she pronounces it the French way. Maman — er…maMahn. When she’s really agitated it’s MaMaaahn! MaMaaahn! in an accent fit for any angsting/overacting French actress.
Understands SO much in both French and English it’s crazy/scary. This morning I uttered the word “ergo” because I’m eBaying it. I probably haven’t said the word ERGO out loud for months and months. Sophie heard the word, got excited, and dragged me to her room where she pulled it from the hook and had a tantrum until I wore her around the house for a few minutes. I was astounded. She knew what the word ERGO meant. *shocked*
Calls all cartoons toot toot!
Like lots of little kids, ADORES Elmo…and doggies. Right now I’m deciding between the two things as a theme for her second birthday party (maybe this year she won’t be afraid of the cupcakes!)
Loves coffee. This morning she pulled a spoon from the drawer (she can open the drawers now, she’s that tall) and brought to me, freaked out until I gave her a taste.
Is 26 pounds and 100 cm tall. She’s in the 90th percentile for height, our little girl. If I’m reading the chart right, she’s in the 10th percentile for weight. Huh. Is that possible? She’s got a good appetite and doesn’t appear overly thin. Iiiiintereeesting…. (Isn’t it cool that you get my thoughts processes as they happen?) Chongqing girls are tall/thin as a general rule, however.
Has outgrown most her shoes. DUDE! I’m taking all her old clothes into a consignment place today, selling them, then turning around and buying her more. I’m eBaying all her Hannas.

It’s been a while since I posted, owing to deadlines, writer conventions and illness. Oh, and houseguests. Sophie’s paternal grandmother was here for a visit.
What’s new? Well, for starters I’m now a stay-at-home mom. Too weird that I don’t have to get up and shlep myself into Cubicle Land tomorrow. I’m not sure how I’ll adjust to it yet. Time will tell.
In other news, I think it’s time we put Sophie into a Playgroup. Just a couple days a week and just for a couple hours. I’ve started to look into programs and have some good recommendations. I think it will be good for her socially and help with her verbal skills.
And here are lots of pictures! These are all from the past month.
Flower Series….
The Family at Lunch….
Mama and Sophie….
Grandma and Sophie… (drawing with Bumba markers with Bumba on in the background)
Sophie plans to mow the yard….
I can’t believe my little baby is going to be two soon. *sniffle*

To beat the blues today we baked cookies.
As you can see from the pictures, Sophie enjoyed them.
