Oops- A Whole Year has Passed!

Mommy has let a whole year pass. It has been a very busy one at that. You not only walk now, you run everywhere. You love being outside. It's usually a fight every time to get you in. You're talking up a storm. You say the funniest things and sometimes even bad words. :( You are so independent. You always ask first before you take off somewhere. Which makes mommy and daddy super proud. You use your manners very well. You can kind of count to ten. It seems like every time you skip one number. You also know how to say your full name, Sophia Riegel. It's so cute! In this last year you have had a real fascination with puppies. Well really any animal you're madly in love with. Your daddy finally caved and got you a puppy, Annie. You two do great together! You're also a great helper around the house. You're always in the kitchen with me when I'm cooking or helping me clean. However, with laundry you like to just sit in the basket instead of help. ;) But sometime you do help me put them away. You also like to help daddy on the farm a lot too. The biggest thing of all in the last year is that you are super excited to be a big sister in December. You're already so sweet to your baby brother or sister. You like to give mommy's belly hugs and kisses. We don't know what we're having but you like to walk around singing 'baby brother'. We are so proud of you and you are such a sweet heart!!

You got really sick for a week and were very close to dehydration. While they were drawing your blood they decided to give you fluids.
