8 months

Sophie is 8 months old! She had a try at eating a piece of well-cooked pasta today and chewed on it for a bit before most of it came out of her mouth. Sophie has also been enjoying oatmeal, banana yogurt and squash. She gets a bath about 2-3 times a week and here's a picture of her from last night, holding her water cup and using a football hold to secure her rubber duckie.

Ready for summer

Sophie is ready for summer! Here she is, modeling her new swimsuit.

7.5 months old

Let's see, what's new? Sophie has been busy rolling around and sitting up (she tips over every now and then). She has a beautiful smile and loves to watch Zoe dog. Sophie tried oatmeal for the first time today. She also has yogurt every day and has been eating squash, carrots, apple sauce and green beans.

Baby story time begins again this weekend. We'll be registering Sophie for swimming lessons next week. It's through our city's park and recreation board and it's supposedly pretty popular, so hopefully we'll secure a spot. Sophie loves going to daycare every day and smiles when she sees her friends there.

Here are some new pictures. Sophie is sitting up in her Boppy pillow, playing with her toys.

Sophie enjoying the nice weather that we had earlier this week, sitting in her stroller, having a beverage (kidding, the cup is empty).

Sophie is almost getting too big for her bouncy chair. Here, she's still in her pajamas, saying bye to mom before she leaves to work.
