Gymnastics here I come!

I don't have words to describe how amazing it is to see Sophia obtain new skills! It literally took two days for her to know how to hold her sippy cup, and one day to pick up Purely O's (aka whole grain Cheerios). In late January, she mastered sitting up. But, how she transitions from a crawling position to sitting up is too cute. Enter the gallery and watch her! Her daycare teachers told us to put her in gymnastics!

Pureed food, Purely O's, and Sippy Cup

January through February- Sophia went from sampling rice cereal, to whole grain cereal, then welcomed an assortment of home made pureed organic veggies, followed by home made fruit purees, and dabbled in a few Purely O's (organic whole grain oat cereal) PLUS the introduction of the sippy cup!! We decided to wait until she was 8 months to introduce solid food. Wholesomebabyfood.com has been a great resource for me. The current recommendations indicate that breast milk or formula should be baby’s main source of nutrition until at least 6 months of age. Check out how much she loves eating pureed peas and her finger skills! She still loves whole peas and can eat Purely O's all day! Click to enter.

Rub a Dub Dub!

I enjoy comparing Sophia's birth pictures with her more recent images. Here she is at birth vs 7.5 months. In January, we thoroughly enjoyed using the Safety First bath chair. It allows us to have both hands free and the chair swivels for maximum fun! She has quickly out grown the chair but it's still worth the purchase. She has filled out well don't you think?

Chinese New Year 2008

Sophia is 7.5 months! She can sit, she is sampling veggies, saying "Da-da"..no signs of Ma-ma!!!! She can't fully crawl but she can squirm amazingly fast to get to where she needs to go! It's time for us to get on our hands and knees. If it looks fun to us..it will probably look interesting for her to get into. We are very relieved that our family made it home from their fun trip in Thailand and Vietnam. Sophia received several beautiful Vietnamese gowns from Aunt Le and Aunt Cindy. Earlier this month, my Uncle Mau and Aunt Terri hosted a local Dallas family gathering to celebrate Chinese New Year. Before the family gathering, we took a series of pictures. Sophia is thankful that her Great Uncle Mau hosted her very first Chinese New Year celebration. Enjoy the pictures!
