Sweet Six Months

Sophie is now six months old. I took her for her check up today and she is now 16.2 pounds and 26 1/4 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and height and is in the 90th percentile for head circumference. So she is average size wise except for her big noggin which she gets from her daddy since he has trouble finding hats to fit him. The doctor has given me the okay to put her in the jogging stroller so we'll definitely being doing that this week, and she's ready to start eating baby food. She loves rice cereal so I'm sure she will love fruits and veggies too. Yesterday I decided since her hair is getting longer to do her first pig tails, she didn't seem to mind them and Daddy nearly melted when he came home from work at how adorable she was with them..me too. As for other updates she is now trying to push herself up to crawl, hasn't quite succeeded yet..but it won't be long. She also seems to favor the color orange. She likes her basketball, the orange key on her piano, the orange cd in her cd player, orange buttons on all of her toys, and her orange tiger. She really loves sucking on her thumb recently and her soothie monkey is a close second. Looking forward to watching her continue to grow and learn new things. She is definitely a happy baby and we are thankful for all the smiles she gives us everyday.
