6 Months Old

Can you believe that Sophie is 6 months old already? She seems to be changing a lot lately, too. Not only is she finally filling out, she has mastered some new tricks. She still loves to blow raspberries, but she has also gotten good at giving real kisses. And as you can see in the picture, she is finally sitting up by herself. Mommy was concerned that she wouldn't be doing this by the 6 month mark, but just like everything else, one day she couldn't and the next day she could. Just like that! She doesn't seem to be interested in crawling. She would much rather walk, and she can if you just hold her hands. It's pretty cute! We go to the doctor on Monday for her official 6 month height and weight, plus a handful of shots - yuck:( Next Friday it's road trip to Indiana for the Marsh family Thanksgiving/Christmas!

Everyday Happenings

Nothing too exciting has been going on around here, just the regular old everyday happenings. This morning Sophie spent some time hanging out in her crib while I put clothes away and cleaned up her room. Then we met my friend April and her daughter Bella at the zoo. Sophie was unusally quiet and seemed to enjoy her own toy more than the animals. So be it! We bought a family pass for the year, so now we can go to the zoo as often as we like. Other than that, all I can say is that we are tired parents - it's 8:30 and we are ready to go to bed!

Happy Halloween!

Sophie didn't get to go trick-or-treating since she's still recovering from the croup, but she did get to wear her Halloween bib and help pass out candy. She loved to see all the kids in their costumes, especially the girls dressed liked princesses and fairies. I did shield her face from the scarier costumes, although this baby is pretty fearless! Next year we'll get a real costume, and maybe Sophie can even have a little piece of candy!

Big Girl

Sophie sure is a big girl now. Here you can see her sitting in her big girl high chair, which she absolutely loves! She also drinks from a sippy cup like a big girl, and next summer, she will be a big sister!! Even though she has all of these big girl accomplishments, she will always be our little girl:)
