6 months

there have been so many new things for sophia this month. these are my favorite months, because they are not totally mobile yet, but their personality starts to show through.


sophia does a great job of communicating when she wants me. there's a certain tone to her scream. there is no doubt when she wants me.

she's a very serious girl. a studier of life, and there is always a lot of life going on around her! while it is easy to make her smile, she saves her laughs.


she continues to love new faces and new situations. she gets really serious and just observes for a while. once she gets acclimated then she livens up again.


she has started to roll over and grab toys. but her favorite thing to grab is hair. while she sucks her thumb to go to sleep she'll take her other hand and stroke the same patch of hair on the top of her head. yes, it is a bit thinner in that part. if she's going to sleep on me, she'll grab my hair and twirl it around. she even likes to eat hair. i know, gross. but when i'm holding her facing me, she'll often grab my hair and slobber all over it. i'm often seen walking around with a patch of wet slobber hair.


she continues to be a source of tremendous joy in our lives. i know most parents say that about their kids, but in our lives right now, she really does provide pure joy. her smile, her personality, her little hands and her wet kisses....i wish you all could come over and spend a few minutes with her, she would capture your heart immediately. what a blessed life we have with our sweet, sweet sophia!
