Mom...doesn't this look like my baby pictures?

Piggy Tails

Two little teeth...and another cute picture...

I'm pretty sure this is her proud face.

Here she is after her bath. If she ever goes into her crib during the day, this what she immediately does. We REALLY need to lower the mattress.

She liked them... :(

Just kidding. I know it's a good thing that she liked the peas. I will just have to get used to their smell. And their texture. And their color.

Pete Owes Me

We have SO MANY cute pictures of Pete and Sophie, thanks to me.

Food

Here is a list of what Sophie has tried so far...and what she thought.

*Rice cereal...she was interested at first, then she hated it, and now she likes it.
*Carrots...she thought they were fine. At that point, she didn't really know what to do with solid food.
*Oatmeal with bananas...she LOVED it.
*Pears...she thought they were fine.
*Sweet potatoes...she hated them, then she loved them, and then she hated them again.
*Apples...she LOVED them. Especially warmed up. Actually, ONLY if warmed up.
*Green beans...at first, she acted like they were the grossest thing ever. But, she ended up LOVING them!

I KNOW that I need to give her peas. Unfortunately, even thinking of them makes me want to gag.

Updates

Caitlin had her baby! Finley Scott Johnson was born late on Saturday night. Hooray!

I feel like Sophie has had a big couple of weeks. In addition to crawling:
1. She has her first tooth!
2. She repeats us when we say, "Ah bbblll". She basically talks all day long...alternating between, "Ah bbblll", "Ah goo", and "Mmmm".
3. When we put her down, she instantly crawls/army crawls to whatever is closest to her and climbs up. Including when she is in her crib. We NEED to lower the mattress because every time I put her in there, I find her standing there with a huge grin on her face.
4. Even though now she can sleep alone in her crib, I am nervous to leave her there, because she FACE PLANTS into the mattress. She purposely flips over and literally smushes her face into the mattress. Oh boy. We are going to try to get a picture of it.
5. She still loves to look at herself. When she plays with her mirror, she looks at herself and starts licking the mirror.
6. She has really improved her fine motor skills. :) She can dial the dial on her toy with one finger, she can take her paci out and put it back in, she turns pages, she knows right where to touch on her touch and feel books, she bangs her drum, she pushes buttons, etc.
7. She has a facebook page. I'm sure you can guess who set that up.

She did it!

Yesterday, one day before she turned seven months old, Sophie crawled. REALLY crawled. Pete saw it first, and she has done it a bunch of times since then.

Sophie's Future Husband

Alison had her baby! Carter John Simison, AKA Sophie's future husband, was born on May 13, 2009! This day was also extra important because it was Sam's first birthday! And, last Friday, my friend Tatiana had a baby girl...Harper Olivia! AND Pete's cousin Caitlin is going to be in labor ANY SECOND!

On top of that, my sister, Linda, is having a baby in August, Pete's other cousin, Paige, is having a baby in September, my other best friend from high school, Sarah, is having a baby in November, AND Alison's sister, Alanna, is having TWINS that are due the same day as Sarah!

If you lost count, that is EIGHT new babies. Harper, Carter, Caitlin's, Linda's, Paige's, Sarah's, and Alanna's (2).

Sleeping

Although Sophie has been sleeping through the night for a long, long time, I still haven't figured out her nap schedule. She used to sleep every single day from 1:00 until 4:00, but those days are long gone. Now, it seems like she wants to take two or three little naps throughout the day, but the timing isn't consistent yet. And, it is getting harder and harder to get her to go to sleep...she just wants to play!

Books!

Sophie has moved on from her feet and our phones. Well, she actually still is obsessed with our phones, but she has moved on from always playing with her feet. Now, her favorite toys are her books! Even though she does enjoy eating them from time to time, she actually does enjoy reading them and turning the pages as well. She also enjoys crawling over to bookshelves, pulling books off shelves, and making a scene in the "quiet" section of the library...at least that's what happened when we walked there today. :)

Too much sunshine...

We accidently gave Sophie her first sunburn. It wasn't too bad, but her cheeks, as you can see, got a little bit pink. The good news is that I got baby sunscreen and from now on she will be safe.

New Tricks

Sophie has a couple of new tricks. The first one is not really new...she has just been pushing herself up on all fours and rocking a lot. I think crawling - real crawling - is right around the corner. Her other new trick really is new...she has been pulling herself up onto her knees AND onto her feet. When we put her on the ground, she goes right for her toy bin, pulls herself up, and looks inside. She LOVES it.
