percentiles

so sophia had her first doctor's appointment today since she was two months old...i know, i know...and me a nurse, how horrible

anyway, at her two month appointment they told me she was doing great but i forgot to ask about what percentile her height, weight, and head circumference were

i asked today though, and about laughed out loud

sophia's height...25th percentile

sophia's weight (at 16 pounds)...50th percentile

sophia's head circumference...95th percentile

hahaha! so glad she's a cutie!

growing up...

i think that i figured out yesterday that i am growing up...or i guess i'm actually a grown up now
the signs:
i don't like shopping in the junior's section at stores anymore (but sometimes the misses is too grown up for me :) )
i have a kid
i have been married for five years (although these last two don't always mean you're grown up :) )
i own a house...well, the bank does but i don't have landlords anymore
i don't know anyone at my old high school or college
in fact, i went to grace college's rec center because i can work out there free as an alumni...first off, i think i knew two people-clint dawg and a soccer guy
everyone there knew everyone else and they were laughing about this person, or that class, etc
but i kind of liked it...i like being married and having a kid
and i hate working out when i know people there...like i didn't go with the person but i know them or they are the employees of the place-slightly nerve wracking for me
guess i'm just getting older :)

sophia enjoying leila's misery

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!

food, food, and more food

we are on to rice cereal and bananas! it is crazy to me how much she loves food...she eats rice cereal fine and will eat a half of a banana mushed up AFTER breastfeeding

guess she'll just be growing like crazy :)

she can also sit up by herself about 75-90% of the time (just enough to think she's independent and allow mom not to leave her side when she's sitting up)

so here she is eating her rice cereal :)
