McDermott Family: Sophie's 3!

For Sophie's 3rd birthday we had a Dora themed party- of course! Sophie is currently obsessed with Dora, so much so that most of her conversations can be linked back to Dora. For example- Sophie calls the stairs in our house "tallest mountain." If she is reaching, stretching, or pulling something she says it 3 times like Dora-" pull, puull, puuulll." When she is mad at something she acts like Swiper the Fox, and will take a toy and throw it like Swiper does. She then says Swiper's line in a low voice," You'll never find it now- he,he, he." And now whenever we go somewhere she wants to know how we are going to get there. If we are going to the cabin I would tell her that we have to through Columbia Falls, past the river, and to the Cabin. We are about overdosed on Dora, but we have to remind ourselves that Dora is better than Barney-well, most days.

Quick Sophie facts:

She is super tall- 41inches which puts her at 98% on the growth chart. Her weight is 37 pounds which is 92%. At least she is proportional.
Still extremely picky, she lives mainly on cheese and fruit. I dream of being able to order food off a menu. Sigh. One day perhaps.
She likes anything active. Sitting still is something that needs work. We think they might have to tie her to a chair in preschool. Seriously.
She is very strong willed, to get her to do anything it needs to be her idea. This is why we are still working on potty training.

We love our sassy little lady and are excited to see what this next year will bring!

Like last year, I was banished from the kitchen while Carl made Sophie's cake. Apparently my cake decorating skills are lacking, and Carl took over. Fine by me!
