Sofia's second Christmas!

This was Sofia's second Christmas and she noticed so much more this year, she loved all the lights and musical things.
we spent Christmas morning in my mums house then in the evening went to Matty's mums house so she spent time with both families.
She pretty much played all day and completely wore herself out and didn't want to go to bed.



Its hard to think next year she will be 2 and probably be More aware of Santa as she was afraid of him this year. We plan on bringing her on the rathwood train for next Christmas and starting to introduce Santa.

She got so many presents its crazy she is one spoiled little girl. Next year we are going to buy her a big present and get our family to buy just one present for her each because we don't want her to get spoiled, i want her to appreciate her things.



I'm so excited to start putting food out for the reindeer and making Christmas magical for her every year. :)

Sofias 12 month update!

My baby turned 1 on the 7th of November. I say it all the time but the year really flew by and its scary how quick she is growing up and needing us less and less.




Walking!

She has got so used to walking now and having her shoes on. Her balance has gone so much better and she hardly ever falls but she still doesn't look where she is going. Matt bought her shoes for her birthday a size 4 and shes already grown out of them. The only problem we have now is that she wont sit in her pram anymore and wants to walk all the time but she trys to run the opposite way so we had to buy her reins. I no understand when people say you need eyes in the back of your head.



Talking!

She is so good at saying words and understanding when we say something to her. She can now put 2 words together, she will say good girl when she hands you something or after she does something good. She knows what yes and no mean and will say no shaking her head. Her new word is garden because Matt plays round and round the garden with her. She also will call the cats and say cat and then swish at them. She does the same for the dog and clicks. She is so intelligent for her age already.

Eating!

Finally we conquered lumps and chunks of food its been a slow process but she eats everything we eat now broken down. Its so much easier to feed her now it used to be so stressful and id dread meal times. I think since she has more teeth it has helped alot.



Birthday celebrations!

We had her first birthday on the 8th and it was so special celebrating 1 whole year since she was born. I felt very emotional all day. I was glad i had all her party prep done way ahead of time so we could enjoy the day. I will do a separate post on its own for more about her party and lots of pics.

Milestones!

  • She can put 2 words together now 'good girl'
  • She goes to bed at 8 till 8 most nights.
  • she has 5 teeth.
  • she is in size 5 nappies.
  • she is in 12-18 clothes.
  • she is down to 3 bottles a day.
  • She loves listening to music.
  • her new favourite thing is kicking a ball around.

Sofia's 11 month update!

Only 1 month now till my little baby is 1 years old and officially a toddler! She seems to have grown up so much this month. It's hard to think this time last year we were waiting each day wondering when she would arrive.



Baby's first halloween!

Last year Sofia was born 1 week after halloween so i never got to dress her up. So this year i got her a princess dress. I searched everywhere for the perfect costume and as soon as i saw it i had to buy it for her. This year we will go to our parents with her and then Matts granny's house so she can see her little cousins.



On the go!

Sofia is on the go now that shes started walking she doesnt stop. Matty bought her some Clarkes shoes for her birthday so she ended up having them early. Shes still clumsy and falls a good bit but once she gets used to her shoes she will be ok.

Birthday prep!

I have everything got now for her party on the 8th a day after her birthday. We just got banners, ballons and alot of pink accessories. Were doing a princess theme. So far weve just invited close family and our close friends. I cant believe my baby is going to be a toddler soon, i homestly dont no where this year has gone.



Milestones:

  • she is walking non stop now.

  • she is in size 5 nappies.
  • her eating has gotten so much better and she can eat chunks now.
