Her favorite things!

Sophia has definitely developed a few favorite things! She loves bath time, and who wouldn't! Lots of warm water, plenty of toys and attention! I walked in the bathroom last night to find her covered with toys! It was so cute that I had to run for the camera of course!
Her other FAVORITE thing is this penguin. It is part of her zoo set and she will wait for all the animals to pass by until she can reach for the penguin! We've done this little assessment several times and without fail, she chooses the penguin every time!

This is just a short video clip of her getting her bath!

7 months old!

Sophia is officially 7 months old! She's exploring her voice these days by making all sorts of "bird-like" sounds. It is hilarious! She is also very excited by seeing her own reflection and talks up a storm when she sees that "other baby"!

Her first time in the snow. This only lasted about 5 minutes.

These next few of her trying to get her knees up underneath of her to crawl.

What a BIG BIG GIRL :)

What we've been up to lately!

Well the past few weeks Patrick and I have been introduced to the "sick child" side of parenting! I, who never get sick (knock on wood) am not used to missing work/school for being sick so this will take some getting used to. Sophia has been fighting a cold over the past few weeks, coupled with teething and a few trips to the doctor's office. I think we are finally done with the fevers and runny nose and on to better things like a cough and a stuffy nose! She seems to be in better spirits which means we are in better spirits :) I did mangage to sneak in a few pictures though.......

Laying with her hippo!

"Come on mom.....just take the picture!"

"oooohhhhh a toy!"

"Hi Uncle Ian! Recognize this??"
