The title says it all. Sophia has had a great couple of weeks as she is almost 7 months now. Her "Aunt" Christa and I made homemade Sophia food a few weeks ago with organic produce from the Farmer's Market. Sophia really yummed it up. The spatula in the picture is layered with carrots. Admittedly not one of her mom's favorite foods but it may make Sophia's top three purees. She has figured out her own way to creep around the house too. Her method is part army crawl, part reach forward and push. Although it may look awkward to the trained eye, it's extremely effective from her point of view. So much so that she can make it from our bedroom to the living room in no time flat. While she is experimenting with ways to get her hips up I have a feeling the traditional crawl is still a few weeks away. She's also starting to babble much more these days too. We heard her this morning babbling to herself in her big girl crib and I can say that she did say "Dada". Now whether she was making the association to call Mike to come fetch her is a whole other matter. The other very exciting thing is that she is now sleeping a good 7 hours at a time. She is consistently going down for bedtime at 7:30 pm and wakes for a early morning (2AM) snack but then goes right back to sleep until 6 am or so! Way to go Sophia!!! Mia and Poppop bought her a pool last weekend. I opted to not share the naked baby pics on the public blog but have some for her album. She had a blast kicking and splashing in the water. Mike and I are hoping the weather clears up this weekend so we can take her to one of the public pools in the area. It's really an excuse for us to hang out in the chlorine as Sophia would do just fine in her 6 inch pool at home. Once a water baby, always a water baby ;)
