Seth and Sophie update (4 and 15 months)

Just to back-track a little because i don't think i recorded this, but Sophie started taking steps at 11 months and really started walking at 12 months. She doesn't do anything slow, and once she figured out how to walk, she hasn't slowed down. She loves to climb, and if she finds steps, she will go up and down them over and over and over.... She loves to play outside and HATES to come back in. Her 1st birthday was a blast and she ate every single bite of her cupcake. This is unlike Seth who wanted no part of his cake at 1 years old. At her 15 month checkup, she was 31.5 inches and 25.6 pounds (83% for both)
She is a GREAT eater!
She started daycare on June 6th and developed severe separation anxiety. Right now we are doing half days to ease her in, but we have had some hard nights and days because of the anxiety.
Here are a few words she can say at 15 months (sorry if there are repeats): cracker, starts singing bye baby bunting (bye, bay), elmo, dora, lalala, cheese, car, tweet tweet (bird), who who (owl), meowww (cat), rrrrr (lion), bell baba (belly button), She also calls out Seth's name a lot but it sounds like, "Se".

At Seth's 4 year checkup, he did a blood draw and was so brave. He weighed in at 41 pounds, and 3 1/2 feet. (80%). He is now drawing with much more detail: drawing planets, stick figures with eyes, mouth, eyelashes, hair and fingers, he can write his name in upper and lower case letters, and his teacher said that he was the only one in class that knew all the letters (both big and small).

So once again since i have decided to play "catch up", i am sure i have left out so much, but here are some pictures to enjoy:
