half-way there!

sophia is now 6 months old! (and 3 days...i know, how horrible of me to be late with this milestone)

you can definitely tell this is not the same little peanut we brought home 6 months ago

now she can sit up by herself (most of the time...enough to make me nervous :) )

she is eating rice cereal, bananas, and carrots (and loving all of them)

she is LOVING her exersaucer

she loves her puppy leila...and squeals with delight every time leila passes her

she is now laughing hard when she gets excited...especially at john and leila when they goof around

when she feeds she puts one hand in my mouth and the other hand plays with my back...so cute

she does not like it if i try to snack while feeding her...she will stop and look at me as if i should get a clue that at this moment, she is the only thing that matters

she is also already a social butterfly...the other day while we were at someone's house and it was time for her to eat, i went to another bedroom to feed her; well she could hear people in the other room and refused to eat (mealtime stretched from 4 hours to almost 6)

she 'talks' all the time...as much and as loudly as possible (john says that is the me coming out in her :) )

we thought she was cutting a tooth about a month ago and you can even see a spot on her gums that still hasn't disappeared...but neither has it grown so who knows

this has been some of the most fun 6 months john and i have ever experienced...some of them hard but all of them teaching us something new

now on to one year old...who knows what kind of party my parents will throw her!
