Sofia is 5 months old today!







Some updates:
* loves to grab her toes, has even attempted to put said toes in mouth
* babbling all the time, it really sounds like "mamamamama" but she doesn't mean "mama" yet :)
* rolling over like a fiend, watch out or she isn't where you left her!
* still no teeth but tons of drool (hence more bib pictures lately)
* still waking up one time a night but that time is getting closer to morning so one day we hope she just sleeps through!
* down to 5 feedings a day including the one in the middle of the night
* enjoying more activities such as the jumpy and the activity center and her play mat
* just now starting to realize it when Nelson or I leave the room (and not happy about it)
* this weekend we are going to pull out the 6-9 month clothes!
* Daddy likes to give her "crazy hair" (hence more crazy hair photos)
* Can't quite sit up unassisted but has mastered the Tripod - will post a pic
* I've been back at work for 6 weeks already and it's going really well. Sofi likes being home with Daddy and is always happy to see me at the end of the day. Pumping is going great (TMI?) so she is still all about the boob :)
* still waiting until 6 months old to give her solid food
* think she's around 18 lbs now, maybe a little more

The biggest update however is that we've decided that Nelson is going to take another 6 weeks of FMLA (unpaid) so he won't be going back to work now until November 2nd. Work has approved it - we are just waiting to hear from our daycare if they can save our spot. If not, we'll have to find someplace else. We are relieved and happy that she will be home until she's 7 months. We think it will be the best thing for all of us.

  1. Love the new pix on here! What a cutie she is! I'm so glad Nel gets to be home with her longer too. That will be great for both of them!

  2. I am so happy and excited for all of you that Sofi gets to stay home longer and play with Daddy - couldn't think of a better playmate for any baby! :)
