La, la lala, La la lala...It's Elmo's World! We are gearing up for our little girls first birthday party. Since Sofia has been watching Sesame Street since she was about 6 months and she LOVES anything Elmo, we decided to throw her an Elmo party. We are so excited, we can't believe that a year has come and gone so quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital.
Looking back over this last year, I'm really happy with the way things have turned out. We've created a family, something Nick and I never thought would happen. Sofie has developed such an awesome personality, she really makes Nick and I laugh over something new each day. Seeing her continue to learn and develop is such an amazing thing. Sofia is starting to talk! We can hardly believe it.
So far she says-
-Ma ma ~ me
-Da da ~ Nick
-Wa wa ~ water
-Ba-ba~ bottle
-Na-na ~ banana (sorry mom...she points and wants her banana)
-bubal ~ bubbles
-bebe ~ baby
-hey ~ hey
-dat ~ that
and she is starting to understand where her eyes, nose and mouth are. So far she's pretty good with the eyes and the nose and mouth are hit and miss.
It's funny, I can remember when Nick and I brought her home and how careful we were and how we wanted to do everything just right. I remember so vividly, giving her sponge baths while singing to her, waiting for her to poop (she was terribly constipated)...Nick and I were so worried that we must have taken her to the doctors half a dozen times. I use to watch her sleep at 2 a.m. and fighting the urge to pick her up and snuggle. Those memories will always be in our hearts. The best memories are yet to come.
Seeing our little girl turn one year old will the a memory that we will cherish...after all, it only happens once! Sofie is gonna have a blast next weekend. We can't wait to post the pictures!
