Happy 6 Month Birthday! - We LOVE You!

Today is Sofi's 6 month birthday! It seems just like yesterday that we checked in at the hospital and gave birth to her. I remember feeling scared, nervous, and excited. Most of all, I remember clearly when she was born, me crying, and watching Simon jump up and down and cry at the same time! I am SO grateful that mom and dad made it in time. I couldn't have done it without you!
The doctor's office changed our pediatriatric appt to December 2nd, so I don't have "official" numbers, but I weighed Sofi this morning and she weighs 16 lbs now. That s a gain of 2.6 lbs. since her last appt. at 4 months. That puts her in the 47th percentile for weight.
We have gone from this:

(I love this picture...Don't I look a little bit scared, tired, excited, and nervous at the same time?)to this in 6 months:

Here are a few things that we love about her:

-smiles and laughs all the time

-rolls all over the place

-still loves story time at the library

-is excited to eat solids

-opens her arms when she wants to be picked up

-is very sociable

-always has to have something in her hands to play with

-is a great sleeper and eater

-smiles really BIG whenever she sees Simon come in the door

-is in the beginning stages of crawling. it's really funny to see. she now scoots by hiking her butt in the air and propelling herself forward

-LOVES her bumbo chair. but I have to make sure that nothing is around her when she is in it. she will lean forward and backward to get something she wants

-loves Baby Gym at Home

-talks all the time (not really understandable, but she wants so much to...

-can pull herself to sitting position

WE LOVE YOU SOFIA FRANCES!!!
