choco face

Hi,

I like chocolate. I conned Daddy into letting me eat an entire measuring cup full of it today.

Since daddy went to work afterwards, I guess Mommy is going to have to deal with the aftereffects (barfing, crazy and/or dirty face/sweater).

Bye bye!

Daddy invented this cool software for the i-phone. It takes a bunch of pictures in a row. Here they are arranged mosaic-style, showing off me in action at the playground. Fun! He’s smart.

Daddy is the best daddy

He takes me so many fun places. Today we went to Staples to look for bookshelves, and he let me climb them. Here I am contemplating scaling one:

He then took me to a ginormous field where I got to run to my hearts content. Do you see me? I’m by the net!!! (Can you even see the net?)

This pic says it all: I’m happy.

When mommy made the list of words I know, she forgot the most important one: kakao. That’s “chocolate milk” in Hungarian, my new most favorite thing. Every morning, I get my cup and show it to daddy, saying “kakao.” And then, just to make sure he knows what I want, I go to the fridge and point to the milk. Gotta make sure he doesn’t misunderstand me!

rainy season

I know this is a blurry picture but mommy thinks it’s cute! It’s raining cats and dogs here… and I can tell you that cats say “meeee-ow” and doggies say “vau vau.” In fact, mommy made a list of all the words I can say now, and it’s about 25! Wanna know what they are?

Hungarian
vau vau (bow wow)
gyi gyi (giddyup)
kek (blue)
negy (four)
nem (no)
tej (milk)
bibi (booboo/ouchie)
ki (outside)
nyum nyum (yum yum)

English
ball
apple
balloon
mama
dada
dog dog
meow
moo
moon
blue
grey
no
go
thank you
O (the letter)
brrrrr (car sound)

I am oh-so-smart! (Oh yeah, and dry/stylish in my new raincoat.)
Bye bye!

a new friend

Hi everyone,
I have met a little girl my age named Saskia. She is very nice. We played this weekend and I was even PRETTY good at sharing.
Here are pictures of us reading on Daddy’s lap.

Bye!

Love, Sophie

A sea of chairs

I love rocking chairs. This will keep me entertained for hours. Daddy will have to wait to leave the store until I’ve given each and every one a test run! I’m sure you think I’m kidding…

Child labor

I love to work! Sweeping and shoveling are my two favorites. Daddy bought me a kid’s size shovel and I discovered that the fireplace sweeper is just my size. So I can clean to my heart’s content! (I’m kind of a neat freak.)
