Now and then

I cant believe how big Sophia is getting! Its crazy to me how much she has grown and changed over the last 6 months! I though I would share some of the biggest changes for those of you who dont get to see her everyday like we do!.

Stats: At birth she weighed 9lbs 3.8oz and was 21in long at her 6 month appt she weighed 16lbs 7oz and was 25 1/4 in tall
Sleeping: hasnt changed so much, she is still a horrible sleeper!!!
Crying: At birth Sophia cried upwards of 14 hours a day now she only cries if she wants/needs something. Best change ever!
Talking: Sophia can say 3 things! Dada, Mama, and Baba and she will say it over and over and over again all day long. Its really cute actually and I should take a video of it.
Teeth- still no teeth but she is definitely teething and I expect her first tooth to pop through soon.  
Moving- First it was a wiggle, then it was a roll, followed by a scoot, now its a crawl! It takes her awhile but she still gets to where she wants to go eventually!
Eating- She has been entirely breast feed until she turned 6 months old. We gave her her first food which was avocado and peaches. She loves to eat and is doing a wonderful job with it. (Post on this to follow!)
Car rides- From the day she was born she has hated car rides thankfully a light bulb went off when she turned 6 months old and she has decided that riding in the car isnt a death sentence and is actually pretty relaxing. 9 times out of 10 she falls asleep in the car now! Thank God!
Carrier- Sophia has always loved to be carried around which hasnt changed very much but the carrier I put her in has. She prefered a sling when she was first born, now we have upgraded to the ErgoBaby carrier. Much better on my back too :)
Field Trips- She has and continues to love leaving the house. It doesnt matter where we go she is happy to be out and about especially if there are a lot of people there!

I could go on forever about how much she has grown and changed but these are some of the biggest changes. Im nervous and excited about the big changes we are sure to see from 6-12 months!    

About 2 hours old 

6 months old!
