Sophia is Four!!!

I can hardly believe it, but my baby girl is four years old already.  The maturity she has gained in the last year astounds me and I can see glimpses of the wonderful young lady she is bound to become.  She is so gentle and loving with her baby brother, even when he is pulling hair, scratching, or pinching.  Her laugh is contagious and no one can resist her mischievous smile.  She aims to please and rarely disappoints.  She is a star at preschool, playing well with her friends, completing tasks when asked, and volunteering to help.  She is loving dance and excited to start soccer and swimming once summer is here.  She is my little super star and the best daughter I could ever have asked for.

We went for her well visit yesterday and Dr Beebe is happy with her overall health and her size.  She was very impressed with how easily Sophia will try new foods and told her to keep up the good work (her latest adventures were collard greens, zucchini, and shrimp).  She was 37 inches tall (5%) and weighed 33 pounds (30%).

And now some birthday-girl pictures!
