Sophia 20 Months... Mama 20 weeks

Sophia is really growing into a little girl these days.  She's just a little person in so many ways and I'm constantly amazed at what a sponge she is.  She repeats things when you least expect it and I can tell she really observes us in everything we do because she'll walk up and show me something when I didn't even realize she could do it.

@ 20 months, Sophia...

And then there's mama... Hard to believe it's the 1/2 way point.  I feel great and can't complain.  I seem to keep forgetting to take belly shots so here's the latest.  Belly seems to have made it's appearance in the last 2 weeks (and is growing fast!).  I have been feeling baby boy kicking for a few weeks now and it's such a neat feeling!  Can't wait for the 20 week ultrasound next Monday to see him again.
