| Six Month Photo Shoot |
Has it really been over four months since my last update? Sophie
recently turned 8 months old and I still do not believe it. It feels like just
yesterday I was meeting her for the very first time.
What all has happened during all this
time? When Sophie was 4 months old she started sitting up unsupported but still
had lots of trouble and was very wobbly. She didn't fully master it till the
end of 5 months old right before she was 6 months. She started saying
"Momma" but I don't think she has made the connection that I am Mom.
We are working on Daddy and Bye-Bye. She is very vocal and loves other kids. At
7 months old she pulled herself to a standing position for the first time while
I was FaceTiming with Grandma. I loved that we got to share that moment being
so far away! Sophie now loves to pull herself to a standing position at any
chance she gets. She even loves to play in her crib by standing and looking at
herself in the mirror instead of napping. She has been crawling like crazy!
It's not a perfectly mastered crawl but it certainly gets her places! She loves
to climb all over Colton & I while we sit on the couch. No teeth yet, but I
am sure they will come soon! Sophie started eating baby food at 6 months and
loves peaches & carrots! They are her favorites by far. She also loves
pizza crust, wontons, and french fries! Sophie loves Kung-Fu Panda. Anytime she
sees that panda she gets a big smile her cute little face! It is adorable!
Being a mother has brought me joy more
than I ever thought was even possible.

My sweet Heather, you are such a wonderful mother and Colton has surprised me beyond my wildest imagination. I knew that you loved him, but I wasn't sure how he was gonna be with children. Since we were at the hospital (and he stayed all night with you) I realized he was gonna be a really good daddy.
ReplyDeleteHe has lived up to the challenge, as have you. No matter what the cry was, you have been able to deal with it and figure out what she was trying to tell you.
In your journey these past 8 months, I have enjoyed seeing pictures of all of you and sharing facetime with you and my precious Sophie. I want to make sure that she knows who grandma is and that I will always be just a phone call away, no matter where all y'all are living. I love all three of you very much. Mom
