Pee-phah

"Pee-phah," for those of you not fluent in Sierra speak, is "Sophia."

This little girl's vocabulary is exploding! I remember back when I was listing the words she could say. Now there are so many, I can't even list them. And she's adding more daily. I think my favorites are when she "gets" names, like the aforementioned "Pee-phah." Sophie is one of our little buddies here at Woodberry, and she also say "Haw-paw" (Harper), "Aw-bee" (Aubrey), and "Massss'n" (Mason) in addition to many others. She tries almost any word you encourage her to say and she's repeating two and three word phrases. Today, she came out with "armadillo" ... um ... sort of.

We haven't done any video in awhile and I really need to do that. Her little voice is so cute. My luck, though, she would just clam up and not say anything. She does that on occassion, but usually changes her mind and decides she would rather talk afterall. Today, I had Sierra with me at the indoor track getting ready for a meet and one the guys that works here at Woodberry, Mark, was in his office next to where we keep all the equipment. I had to make several trips up and down the stairs with gear and after Sierra at first wouldn't say hello, then every time we walked past Mark's door (going in and coming back out) she would yell, "HI! MAWK!!" I'm sitting here laughing to myself just thinking about it.
