Six Months

Sophia,
You are six months old today (August 28, 2012).

Here are your stats:
Weight 14lbs 2.2oz (10%)
Length 25.75 inches (25-50%)
Head 42cm (25-50%)

You wear size two diapers.

You wear 3-6 and 6-12 month clothes. You are still able to wear some of your 0-3 month dresses. Thank goodness for being a little girl!

You starting eating solids this month. We started with rice cereal and you have eaten pears, sweet potatoes, prunes, and butternut squash. You love to eat! You nurse or take a bottle every 3 hours. You drink seven ounces at time from a bottle. You can drink from a sippy cup but need assistance. You also like to drink from a regular cup.

You sleep through the night. Now that Mommy is back at work you get woken up in the morning to go to Ms. Lorena's. You sleep at least ten hours but have gone as long as fourteen when you get to sleep in.

You have no formal schedule but you are very flexible and easy going.

You are a very happy little lady. You are very social and play shy when we are out in public. You smile at strangers, but turn your head and try to hide. You still are fascinated with the baby in the mirror.

You are a mover! You are not formally crawling yet, but you can get from one side of the room to the other pretty quick.

You smile whenever you see the dogs. They bark a lot and you may get a little wide-eyed but you are not fazed by how noisy they are. Kona still loves to check in on you and will go in your room to greet you when you wake up.

Out montly photo shoots have gotten a little challenging since you are interested in everything around you.

 

 

You have changed our lives in so many ways. We can't believe you are already six months old! We are looking forward to all the fun that is to come!

Here are your monthly comparisons for the past six months:

Still can't believe six months has passed already.

Only a little late....posted 9-21-12. Got it in before she turned seven months old at least :)

Twenty-five weeks

School is back...for the teachers anyway. I have been busy with trainings, planning, and setting up a classroom. Sophia loves spending time with her Daddy and Lorena but we are missing our days together. Thank goodness for weekends!

The almost-before picture. Forgot to take an after picture.

We had a playdate with Kristen and Tori. Sophia loved Tori's toys (although Tori was a little hesitant to share some of her favorites). Sophia showed off her scooting, sitting, and smiles.

Food continues to go well. She is doing great with her rice cereal and has tried pears and sweet potatoes. We decided to make her food for now. I can't get over how expensive those little jars of food are! I know once school is in full-swing I am not going to have the time or energy to whip up most purees, but I like doing it when I can.

Enjoying her pears.

She liked her sweets, but I loved this picture.

Her ability to sit up is improving. She sits up nice and straight when she is on your lap or the couch, but I still prop her up when she is on the floor. She has a bad habit of leaning forward and smashing her face...ouch!

All smiles.

Waking up happy from a nap.

She loves being outside but her body language makes it seem like she was NOT enjoying this walk.

Attempting a self portrait at the park.

Posted on 9/7/12 but technology makes it look like I posted in a much more timely manner :)
