Birthday Pictures!
So, most of the actual birthday pictures (cake, hats, etc.) are on Nancy's camera. I will post those soon! But, in the meantime, here are some we took with our camera. Her birthday was PERFECT!
Keeping with the Hoffman tradition, Sophie started her day with presents in bed. One of these presents was her new piano!
We had more presents waiting for her downstairs that she opened later that day.
I taught her a new trick. When I ask her how old she is, she does this:
Later that day, we found out who had sent the mystery monkey...it was Uncle Drew!
And, here is the birthday girl...all dressed up for her birthday party.
I will post pictures from her party soon!

It's almost birthday time!
I just wanted to write a quick update before Sophie's birthday. I just feel like, as usual, there is just so much to write about and I can't keep up with it! She seriously amazes me. I feel like in the last couple of months she has just been pulling out new tricks left and right. It feels like every single day she knows something new!
Here are some of the highlights:
1. During "patty cake", she "rolls" it. :)
2. She knows animal noises! I ask, "what does a cow say"...she says, "mmmmm." I ask, "what does a sheep say"...she says, "baabaabaa." I ask, "what does a dog say"...she says, "rururururu." I ask, "what does a horse say"...she says, "nnnnnn" (with the right intonation). She also makes her squinchy face when I ask what the snake says. I guess that's her attempt at making the "s" sound.
3. She knows all of her flashcards. I can put all of them out randomly, and she can find every, single one.
4. She likes opening and closing things, taking things in and out, and getting in and out of things. A couple of her favorite things to get into and out of are the dog bed (with Abe in it) and laundry baskets.
5. She knows tons of body parts, and she points to them on others AND on her own body. She knows hair, eyes, nose, teeth, tongue, ears, hands, belly button, feet, and toes.
6. She understands SO many words, and she says quite a few. She says, "mama, dada, num num, hat, hot, off, hi, bye, night night, dog, bath, wa wa (water)"..........
7. She has been consistently doing the sign language for "all done." It's very helpful!
8. She is terrified of walking. She loves walking while pushing her walker or while holding our hands, but when we try to get her to walk to us alone, she falls on the floor and sobs. She has done it a few more times, but she definitely doesn't initiate it anymore.
9. She gives tons of hugs and kisses, she blows kisses, she gives high fives, she claps, she dances, she bounces, she shakes things, etc.
10. She has developed a grunt. She points at things EVERYWHERE, and grunts.
Oh my gosh. I could go on and on! I can't even think of everything...
Have I mentioned that she sings on command? I must have! Well, if not, she sings on command. It is HILARIOUS. And she waves while saying "hi" and "bye bye".
I will definitely post pictures after her birthday! I can't wait! I haven't been this excited about anyone's birthday...including my own...for decades!
