Sophie at 14 months

Sophie is 14 months old today. Here is a snapshot of her right now:

• Where Emma goes, Sophie follows...and if faced with a closed door, Sophie gets flat on her stomach and tries to climb under the door to get to her sister.
  
• Pulls herself up to Emma's table and then screams until Emma gives her whatever it is she wants.
• Has just started getting into books. She loves "Moo, Baa, La La La," "Snuggle Puppy," "Peekaboo Kisses." Will not tolerate "Bellybutton Book" or "But Not the Hippopotamus."
  
• Inhales Gerber's Lil Crunchers as if her life depends on it.
• Loses her mind whenever anyone else is eating or drinking something within her line of sight and not sharing with her.
  
• Drinks whole milk and apple juice, but if you give her a cup of water she throws it across the room.
  
• When in doubt, sing. She adores being sung to. Favorite songs: "Twinkle Twinkle," "Itsy Bitsy Spider," "You Are My Sunshine."
• Points to anything new or interesting and says, "Dat?"
  
• If you say "Kisses!" she says "Mmmmm" and gives you a big, open-mouthed kiss.
• Just learned to say, "Ta-da!"
• Uses the word "uh-oh" frequently and appropriately.
• Spends a good part of every day in the gym nursery climbing up and down the same set of three stairs.
• Like her older sister, she is a food hoarder. Around dinnertime, you can often find her last bite from lunch still stuck in her mouth.
• Loves splashing in the bath. Without fail, every time you take her out she kicks and screams.
• Gets manic when overtired and rocks back and forth from knee to knee, turning her body and shaking her head until she becomes so dizzy that she falls over.
• Says "Hola" but still only waves "Hi." Also, will only say "Hola" to her nursery buddy Eslie.
• Must have something in her hand when her diaper is being changed or she will kick/hit/scratch/scream/twist like hell until the torture is over.
• Enjoys plopping onto her back and then rolling back and forth, as if she's making an armless snow angel.
• Makes a high-pitched shrieking sound when happy or excited that sounds a bit like one of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park.
  
• As she is still crawling, Sophie often reminds us of a puppy: she begs for food, gives us "sad eyes" when she wants something, comes to us when we say, "Come here, Sophie...here, Sophie!", eats most of her food on the floor, plays fetch, loves to have her tummy rubbed...actually, I'll stop here b/c the correlations are rather alarming.
