- When something is difficult, Sophie says, "So heavy." I'm not exactly sure how this works, but that's the way it is. When trying to put macaroni and cheese on her fork, when the noodles won't stay on her fork they're "so heavy." When she's trying to put the bracelet back on her baby doll, it's "so heavy" to fasten (it's a simple Velcro type closure but she always turns it backwards). I don't know why, but I find this all highly amusing. There's a face and a sound that go along with this that just makes it that much better. B thinks it might be because we say, "so heavy!" when picking her up.
- Sophie has named her baby doll "Sophie Kritter," which, of course, comes out sounding like "Sowie Tidder." Love it.

- Miss Thang went up the little slide and then down again all by herself with no help from me after a few times of sliding together. She also managed to walk up a rather large plank so she could go down the big slide (all on her own). The only bad part about hanging out at the neighbors' house is Sophie loving their play fort just a bit too much. She hates leaving!
- Sophie also played in the little play house last night and closed all the windows so she could throw them open and yell "peek-a-boo" (which still sounds like "piddaboo").
- I had the back door open during dinner and Sophie kept announcing she could hear the kids playing ("Hear tids!"). She was so excited to go play with them she had a difficult time finishing dinner.
- Lately, while reading our books, she has taken to eating the food off the page of the book (pretends to pinch at the picture with her fingers and put it to her mouth saying, "Mmmm, dood!"). She has also started tickling people and animals right on the page of the books ("tiddo tiddo tiddo" with her little fingers going wild over the picture). Seriously, when the heck did she get to be so funny??
- Sophie likes to wear hats. She has a variety of hats she wears from time to time. Her favorites are the pompom hat, one of my straw hats, and Papaw's train cap.
There's probably more, but that's all I can remember for now.
In other somewhat slightly related news, I think my camera is coming down with some fatal disease. If you watch the videos (and bless you if you do, they're long and just of the Kritter playing with a ball, so exciting!), you'll here a clicking sound that simply shouldn't be there. I'm not sure what the deal is. It's also fighting to focus. I'm not sure if someone jacked with a setting or what, but that still shouldn't cause the clicking. :(

Thanks!
I think it's something we're born with. LOL
I had to laugh while reading about the lava. I think you're right. I think every kid does that at some point. we always did it! LOL That's hilarious, really. I never thought about that.
You know... I just asked B about this and he says he never pretended there was lava. He's a freak. We also used to pretend there were crocodiles or alligators (again, he'd never done that).
I'm sure lava was used else where too.
And Sophie is just adorable. I wonder what would happen if she met
You could then work in meeting quite a crowd of us.
I would certainly love to, though... if it weren't for the money and all... ;)
With us being so far in debt right now, I know it won't happen any time soon. I need to find a job before i can start making plans like that, no matter how much I want to. ;)
It's a pity that there isn't a halfway point we could all meet at really, but until they build floating hotels in the middle of the Atlantic, that's not going to happen.
The wall color was here when we moved in. It's the typical builder beige (at least owners get to choose which shade of beige) and was here for the previous owners as well. I'm trying to get rid of it in some of the rooms. The whole main part of the house and our bedroom is that color, so it's a little overwhelming at times.
I would very much love to know what it was with your mom's camera that clicked. Could you hear it? Did she have to get it fixed? I just don't want to buy a new camera right now, you know? *sigh* Thanks!!
I'm torn on what I'd get if I needed a new one. I like the size of mine, but I really want a much more powerful camera. I just don't want to have to buy it now. ;)
