Happy half birthday Sophia! Daddy took her to her 6 month doctor's appointment and she weighed in at 18 pounds 3 ounces. It's not quite as heavy as we had guessed, but she's still at the 90 percent mark. Her height is 28 inches, which officially puts her off the top of the chart now! I finally wised up and started buying PJ's without the feet in the hopes that they'll fit for more than 2 weeks!
Sophia is still nursing, but she can now drink out of a sippy cup without our help. Her favorite foods are oatmeal and blueberries, and her least favorites are green beans and peas. She can now stand for several minutes holding on to something, and she can "walk" if we hold her underneath her arms. She still hates to be on her stomach and shows no interest in crawling, so my guess is that she's going to be one of those kids who skips crawling all together. She can't or won't roll over anymore, but her doctor said it's nothing to be concerned about.
Her favorite toy is Trent, and I can't tell you how grateful I am to have such a patient, tolerant pet. She has made him yelp several times after grabbing his face, ears, and tongue (ewww!), but he has never even flinched in her direction. He loves to give her big wet kisses and is always on alert if she starts crying at night.
Sophia is such a sweet heart. She loves to give big bear hugs and she'll give "kisses" to Mommy, which are pretty gross, but sweet none the less. And after 2 long weeks of sniffles, fussing and fitful sleep, Sophia is now the proud owner of a tooth! Another tooth already seems to be making it's way to the surface, so hopefully it'll make it's appearance sooner rather than later so we can all sleep a little better.
We started Kindermusik last week, which is a music class for infants and toddlers. It's so fun to watch her interact with the other kids. Last week she had a blast trying to grab another little girl's pigtails, and this week she had a great time even though an older kid decided to use her head as a drum!Everyone talks about how much fun this age is when babies are so interactive, but still immobile. We're trying to enjoy every minute of it since we know it won't last long, and it's been so much fun, except for maybe the teething part! How many is she supposed to get??

I don't think Sophia can get any cuter. Some of those pictures I feel like I am looking at a baby Will. Katherine may actually still be bigger than Sophia. According to a scale in Norway she was barely over 20 lbs. I am not surprised that she does not like Peas, she is so like her daddy! I am glad you all are dong kindermusik. Those activities are so much fun. I can't wait to see you all when we get back.
