6 months old!

This month we had so much fun with our baby girl. She loves to smile, and these days it's pretty easy to get one out of her. Usually, we can just give her a big grin, and she will smile right back at us. My favorite part of the day, is going into her room to get her after she wakes up. She whines when she is ready for us to come and get her, but as soon as she sees our faces over the top of the crib, she gives us a big smile and starts talking to us.

Sophia has gotten to try a few new foods this month, and she loves to eat! Sweet potatoes are her favorite, and we have also added in oatmeal and applesauce. When she is eating one of her favorite foods, she'll get really excited and start making panting noises and kicking her legs and arms around.

A few fun things she has done this month are blowing raspberries, tripoding, pushing herself forward when she wants to get out of her car seat, highchair, etc, and grabbing different toys in each hand.

At her 6 month checkup, we discovered that Sophia is tall and skinny! She weighs 15lb 2oz (33rd%) and is 26 1/4 in (69th%). Here are a few fun pictures of her from this past month....
