6 Months

Cannot believe Sophie is already 6 months old. People always say how fast the times goes, but its just amazing how true that really is.

Sophie is doing great! She is sitting up on her own for some period of time - sometimes as much as 15 minutes at a time. She is reaching for and grabbing everything. It's so cute to see her really playing with her toys.

We had a great doctors appointment yesterday for her 6 month check up. Sophie is a tiny one - she is 14 lb 3 oz and 24 inches. She is in the 17th and 5th percentiles. Doctor said she's probably just at a plateau and will hit a growth spurt soon, especially as she eats more solid foods - which she is now supposed to get 5 times a day! She is now eating oatmeal, bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, and peas. She is liking to eat more and more - now that I think she understands what's going on.

We had her 6 month pictures taken on Sunday - here are a few of the shots!

What a Month

It seems like this month has been soo fast. We've been so busy and having so much fun though! Sophie is now 5 months old - and up to 15.5 pounds (give or take some - this was via the unscientific method of weighing me and then weighing me holding her and subtracting). But Sophie is ready to be mobile! She is rolling over like a champ now - it's so amazing to watch what was so frustrating for her just 4 short weeks ago, she now breezes through. She has started barrel rolling which is hilarious to watch. She will do two or three complete roll-overs in a row.

She's doing better at eating her cereal - we try to have cereal once a day in the afternoon when we get home. I'm thinking about starting some veggies this week. I'm planning to do homemade baby food, so I've been researching a lot of methods, ideas, and recipes. It seems simple, fun, and healthy so we'll see how it goes!

We took Sophie to her first (and second) Lookouts game this month. She did soo well and loved to people-watch. We also celebrated her daddy's 30th birthday by playing paintball (well not Sophie - but several of our friends and family :-)) and had a big birthday dinner celebration.

Enough blabbing - here's some pictures from the last month:
