#1 This morning Sofia pulled herself into a standing position in her crib (holding on to the rails), prompting us to quickly decide to move her mattress position all the way to the lowest position. We can already tell this position makes it a lot harder for mommy & daddy (chiropractor much?) and it's kind of funny because it looks like she is in baby jail in there. I have a feeling the bumpers won't last much longer, because she's already starting to push on them and use them as leverage to climb. Sigh.
#2 I noticed this morning that her first tooth is starting to come through! It's barely visible (once it is, we'll get a pic) but when I ran my finger along her bottom gums, you can definitely feel it. Hard to tell if its one tooth or two, I think they are both making their way up. She has been a little fussier than usual today, so that may be bothering her.
#3 We weighed Sofia this morning and she now just at the 20 pound mark! This means in the next couple of weeks we will have to transition her from her 6-9 month clothes into the next size up, which ironically is not "9 months" it's actually 12 months! Note to anyone buying her clothes for the holiday 12 months or larger!
Sofia continues to enjoy daycare and is happy and excited to see Lena in the mornings when I drop her off. She hasn't gotten too many cooties yet, a little bit of a runny nose a couple of times that has gone away within a day. I think it's runny today partly because of the teething.
She's definitely trying to work her way to mobility - besides sitting up from a laying position, she also pushes up on all fours from her tummy and scootches on her tummy (not quite a crawl).
She is now eating some formula every day in addition to breastmilk. I just couldn't keep up the supply with the demand. But I must say it does add a lot of convenience to have that option when we are out - Disneyland yesterday was so much easier. She could eat no matter where we were.
Continuing to make a lot of food for her - she's now tried several more things, zucchini and mango which are the latest. I tend to buy jarred versions of the items which are more complicated to prepare so she eats a combo of both homemade and storebought, and Lena makes her food at daycare. Tonight I am having a "homemade baby food swap" with some of my mommy friends, we all make an ince cube tray's worth of a different food for each person, so tonight I am taking 6 trays of zucchini and bringing home a tray of sweet potatoes, squash, pears, bananas and Joanne's "Green blend" (mixed veggies). I think that my next batch of food will be combos, right now I am combining at the meal (defrosting 2 cubes of a veggie and 2 of a fruit and mixing). But in the future I will mix when I prepare. Also coming up next month (8 months old) we will start her on yogurt and some protein, as well as introduce some spices!
And what fun would a post be without some multimedia - here's a video form Friday night of Sofia "dancing" to Jai Ho, the themesong from Slumdog Millionaire. Nel's face is even more entertaining than hers :)
