First Cereal

Sophie turned four months old last week and we had an excellent checkup at the doctor. She is now 12 lb. 14 oz and 23 1/2 inches. She is right around the 35th percentile for height and weight. Doctor seemed pleased with her growth even though she was 50th percentile at our last appointment. She said we can start solid food whenever we are ready and/or she acts like she's ready.

So, tonight, we decided we would see how it would go. She seemed like she was having fun in her highchair and she acted like she liked it - whenever it wasn't in her mouth. She made the funniest - i'm not sure about this - faces when it went in her mouth but then she would smile/laugh/babble. Here's our video of her first cereal (pardon the baby-speak voices of Jason and I)

So Close to Rolling Over

Sophie is trying soo hard to roll over. She gets so close and has started to get really frustrated when she can't get over. Here's some pictures of her latest attempts.

She's also been sitting in her bumbo and we put her jumper together. She seems to enjoy being in the sitting position and playing with her toys. 

I Can Get It

So this past week, Sophie has definitely discovered her hands - and that she can control them. She has been grasping toys when we hand them to her and works so hard with the back of her hand to get her pacifier back in her mouth. It's so cute to watch her and amazing to see her mind at work.
