Beach time!

Backlog post #1!!

Well hello there! We had a great time at the beach, just me, Mommy, and Daddy! It was SO MUCH FUN!!

First we got to fly a kite! Daddy showed me how!

Then we went close to the waves and got our toes wet, it was SO COLD!!

Then someone turned on loud music and we got to dance!

I played in the sand!

And we finished the day getting dinner on the beach!

Well that was a great trip! I LOVE the beach!

Until next time!

An Ordinary Day

      Well hello!! You caught me during a tea party! Teehee :)
      I do this every day with Mommy while we wait for Daddy to get home from work. I am growing up so fast that these ordinary days are fun to slow down and enjoy the little things, ha!

      This is my room. I wake up bright and early at 5:30 am then I get dressed for daycare. Daddy goes to work at 6:30 and Mommy and I leave for daycare and school at 7. I LOVE daycare!






      After Mommy goes to school she waits for me to wake up from nap and she picks me up! I always scream MOMMY and run to her with open arms. We go to the park, the bookstore, the mall, or we just go home. We sing the ABC's and look at colors or count. Now I know the colors blue and yellow pretty well, I can count to fifteen, I know tons of shapes, and I know how the letters A, B and C sound in words! I can say full sentences pretty easily now and Mommy thinks I say funny things a lot. I am growing up fast, but I am still the smallest in my age group at daycare.

I like watching veggie tales in Daddy and Mommy's bed!

Oh look,

TRIPLETS!!

Sometimes I miss Daddy because he has long work days, so I call him and say hi!

      I definitely have my ups and downs. There's never a dull moment! 

When Daddy gets home we play together before he reads me my bedtime story and tucks me in.

      So that's an ordinary day! I hope you liked it! I'm going to go to bed now. Good night!

Sincerely,

Dreams and Other Things

Dear everyone,

   It's great to see you! I'm sorry I haven't written in a really long time. Things have been busy here and I've been growing up faster than I can type! Today I'm going to talk about dreams, and some other things that have been on my toddler mind lately.

 


   You see it all started a few weeks ago when I started seeing things in my sleep, I tried to tell Mommy about them, but it took her FOREVER to understand what I was trying to describe. She seemed to think that me waving my hands around wildly and yelling my things at her was just me playing.
   But it turns out that I was…….. DREAMING. I dreamt about being able to drive the car while Daddy and Mommy were in the backseat, I dreamt about cleaning the house and told Mommy that it was "super really fun". I even dreamt that I lost my shoes and wanted them back really badly, I wanted them so bad that I woke up and told Mommy and Daddy that I wanted my shoes when I was already wearing them, heehee. It was so silly. I love to dream and I love to tell everyone about it even more!

   Even though I love to dream I get really grumpy in the mornings until I've had my breakfast. Here's a video Mommy took of me when I was waking up a few mornings ago with my morning banana. Warning: It is a little loud in the middle since Mommy was messing with the camera while filming.

   Christmas was great! We went to Fredericksburg the weekend before and got to see my grandma (my Mommy's mom), my aunt Angie, and my uncle Ross who I almost never get to see! Even though it was a couple weeks ago I am still talking about them and I call them on my play phone a lot, especially Ross since he's two too! We also got to visit my great grandparents and my great aunt's. It was a lot of fun! And I was a little angel so Santa brought me lots of fun stuff for Christmas like a new train set with a Thomas train that runs by itself.





   I even got a new bubble machine since they were on sale. Here's a short video of all my bubbles!

   Also, I found out I'm allergic to peanuts as well as raspberries and zinc oxide (long story). I get terrible painful and itchy rashes, but no other bad things. The list is growing, but everybody says I will probably grow out of my allergies. I sure hope so!




   I can say a ton of words now and my word books are getting so easy! Mommy and Daddy set up a bookshelf for me to reach on my own now since I've stopped tearing up my books like I used to. It's in the middle of my brand new toy organizer! Here's a pic! --->

   Isn't it the best?





   The cats aren't running away from me as much anymore since I stopped chasing them and pulling on their tails. Who knew that being nice to them was the solution? I've decided that cats are silly now and they are just around for me to lay my head on and laugh at.

   My favorite things to do now are to paint, to dance, to sing, and to look at Christmas lights and pictures of dogs. I like to read lots of books and play doctor with my new doll too. My favorite toys are my cars and my balls and my baby doll. I also like to run around the house yelling and giggling, but there's no real reason for that, I just like to confuse Daddy and Mommy. Oh, and I almost forgot, my favorite movie of all time is Annie. Mommy says it's the older one and not the remake. I love it so much I ask to watch it every morning when I wake up and keep asking until it's time to go to bed. Mommy says I'm not allowed to watch it anymore until the weekend's over and that is taking FOREVER. I just don't understand why I can't watch Annie every waking second, but oh well, I guess I can wait.

   Well, that's all I can think of for an update. I miss you!!! "I love you, bye-bye!!"

Sincerely,

August-November Quick Review

      Hi there! There's been so much going on I hadn't been able to post anything for awhile, so I'm going to go ahead and fill you in on everything that's been happening! First of all my godparents came for a visit that was really fun. Then my Pepa and Yaya came by. Then Mommy started school. And THEN we bought a HOUSE!! :D

      So let's start with Christi and Eddie coming by. We had a FABULOUS time!! I got to play with them at home, and I got to spend time with Christi at the water park! After that I got to spend a night sleeping over with my Great Aunt Kim and cousin Judy while everybody went on a road trip to Schlitterbahn. I hate road trips, so I was extra happy I got to have a sleepover instead! Then we all went to the water park here, Hurricane Alley!

      When Pepa and Yaya came we had tons of fun together hanging out at home! I miss them SO MUCH! I even got to see my uncle Ian! We went to the downtown Whataburger, we got to see the ocean, and we played a ton!

After that we bought our house!!! I LOVE MY ROOM!!!

      After that we visited with my grandma and aunt and uncle! We went to Mcdonald's and got to play in their toddler play area! My aunt Angie is a few years older than me and my uncle Ross is 4 months younger.

      So there it is, all the tons of stuff we did from August to September, whew! By now!

Sincerely,

              Sophie

      

Potato Head and a Trip to the Museum

   

    Cheese!

    I'm ready for my closeup!

    Sophie Mae here and I'm here to let you guys know what's been going on in the great House of Copeland. So, come on in and see!

      First I want to introduce my partner in crime... Mr. Potato Head!!! He's my favorite toy right now and even though he doesn't always look right in his potato, he's my buddy through and through!






       I'm learning tons of new words, I can sing almost half of my ABC's, sometimes count to four, and I even use my manners when I say please and thank you! Daddy and Mommy are very proud of me, especially when I surprise them by singing something like "S.O.PEEEEEE! I.EEEEEEEE!" when I'm playing. They never think I'm listening, HA!

      Today we went to the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History (Wow, what a mouthful!). It was great there! Want to see some pictures? Okay!

     This was as I was getting buckled into my car seat on the way to the museum. Mommy was so proud that I kept my little bow in my hair!

 Peekaboo! The next few are of the best house in the kids play area!

 

      And after we lounged around for awhile we went and explored the rest of the museum. It was so cool! Full of pretty rocks and model ships and lots of buttons to press! There were even turtles there!

      So that was our day at the museum! Next up I'll post pictures from the water park. Daddy just bought a new camera with his birthday money. It's a great outdoor camera that's even waterproof so we can take it with us and even take it underwater. Wow!

We even went into a wind tunnel while we were there. Daddy says it simulated hurricane winds.

--WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS REALLY LOUD, TURN YOUR SPEAKERS DOWN TO WATCH IT. Thank you.--

      Anyways, I've got to go to bed now and Mr. Potato Head does too, so night night everybody! See you again soon!

Sincerely,
