12.5 month update

So many fun and new developments lately, it's crazy to think that soon enough, she will be walking and talking away. She's not a baby anymore =P

New words:
She said her first two-syllable word! Apple! It first started with her saying 'eh' or 'A', then a few days ago, she said Apple!

'lai lai' (milk) - Just today, Rob was feeling her dinner and she said it, just like that...pretty cool

'baa baa' - when we sing the song, 'baa baa black sheep', she would start it off by saying, 'baa baa' and then we finish up the rest of the song

'Hi'

'ba ba' - directed to Rob (first time today)

Unfortunately, all these new words seem to have made her forget how to say, 'ma ma'

Motor skills:
She knows where her head, nose and toes are, and loves hearing the Head and Shoulders song

Decisions and Independence:
Sofia has discovered that she can choose what she likes and doesn't want. When she likes something, she would reach her hand out and signal for it. She is now more choosy which book to read. We even have to be smart when we turn the water on for her bathtime cuz once she hears the water running, she will refuse to eat and just want to climb into the tub. She LOVES bathtime, thanks to all the fun bath toys she got for her birthday =)

She is in such a fun age now, loves to play and will giggle and laugh to your heart melts. I love the interaction we have with her now, it's still difficult to figure out exactly what she wants but it's good =)

On a side note...I have decided to resign from my job at BCCHF. It's been a difficult few months and I just didn't think the position was right for me. I'm so glad that in a few more days, I'll be able to spend more time with Sofia again. yay! This will mean I have to go back to looking for work again and figure out what I should do but this was the right thing to do. How can I stay at home and earn income at the same time? hmm...
