9 months

Sophie is 9 months old today. We had doctor's appointment and she's weighing in at 14 lbs, which is less than the 3rd percentile. She's just a little peanut! Sophie is 26.5 inches in length (25th percentile) and her head circumference is 17 inches (25th percentile).

Lately, Sophie has tried eggplant (which she hated!), pasta, peas, cheese (yum!) tofu (loved!) and plums (loved!). She started swimming lessons last week and had a blast. The weather has been getting nicer the last few weeks, so she's been able to play outside with all of her daycare friends. She's been starting to support herself if we prop her up against our coffee table or a big, sturdy toy.

8.5 months old

Sophie has been one busy little baby. She goes to daycare every day during the week and during the weekends, she's busy with baby story time at the library, going shopping and out for lunch with mom and basking in the sunshine and beautiful spring weather.

Sophie has been rolling and scooting all over the place. She's also been teething, so she likes to taste everything- food, toys, books and anything else she can get her hands on. Recently, Sophie has tried brown rice and whole grain toast. I just made a massive amount of baby food and she'll be sampling plums, green beans, peas, carrots and zucchini. Yum!

In this picture, Sophie is wearing her new Strawberry Shortcake shirt. It's mom's favorite.

Here, Sophie is wearing her personalized Sophie bloomers (or as Amy calls them, "unda-pants"). They were a gift from Jan, Rob and Isla- thank you! Notice the strawberry birthmark on her back.

Sophie's very first pair of jeans! And she's drinking out of a sippy cup. And she's wearing shoes! She looks so grown-up in this picture (because grown-ups wear jeans, shoes and drink out of sippy cups).


Swimming lessons start next week! Here is Sophie trying out her bikini and holding her rubber duckie. Under the bikini bottom (hey, isn't that where Spongebob lives?), she's wearing a diaper and a reusable swim diaper. That's three layers of padding!
