7 Months Old!

Sophie has reached 7 months! It's amazing how time has flown and how much Sophie has grown! She is now eating solid food like it's going out of style but hasn't made it to finger foods. Her little chubby fingers aren't quite ready to pick up little bits like Cheerios. She'll be there soon I bet. She loves eating fruit, and has decided that chicken and turkey aren't too bad (even though they're pureed and make me want to puke!). She definitely has put on some weight since she started the solid food. She's in 6-9 month clothes now, but won't be for long! I love her little chubby thighs! She also has learned how to drink water out of a sippy cup and she loves it. She wants to hold the cup, but has difficulty getting anything out of it on her own.

She also is almost sitting up on her own. She is behind on this milestone most likely because she wore that brace for the first 4 months of her life. She loves sitting in her boppy playing with various toys. She can pass them from hand to hand, and when she drops a toy within her reach, she'll pick it up. She has her favorites and will start to whine when she can't get to them.

Sophie has become more vocal. She loves to hear herself talk and she's recently started babbling "da da da da" which thrills Matt to no end. Sometimes when I pick her up from daycare she will "tell" me about her day from the backseat, just babbling away! It's so fun to hear her little voice.

There's so much more to say about our wonderful child, but I'll save some for later!
