6 Months Old

I can't believe that Sophia is 6 months old today. It seems like yesterday that she was born. The morning sickness and outgrowing maternity clothes doesn't seem like it was that long ago either. She has brought so much joy into our lives. Everyone with children tells you this will happen but you don't really understand the kind of joy until you have a child. For the first time in my life, I am totally and completely happy. If I accomplish nothing else but being a mom to little Sophie Bear or Monkey then I will be a happy woman. She has given me so much strength and a higher self esteem but I am not all that sure how. Enough mushy stuff......


She is so funny. She walks now with help. She is still not all that impressed with rolling over and hasn't crawled yet. It seems like she thinks that those things are for babies. She wants to skip right ahead to being a "big girl". I am certainly not ready for that. She loves animals. She chases our two cats, Roman and Simone, around as much as she can. And she loves her Uncle Pancho although he is not too sure about her. She loves her talking dog, her talking Pooh Bear, and her bear her daddy got her. She lights up whenever Daddy comes in the room. She giggles and acts shy, but just for a second, and then reaches for him. They have their own special language of raspberries that they speak to eachother. She is beginning to pull up on things in order to stand. That includes pulling up on me! She is such a ham. She has gotten used to getting her picture taken and people telling her that she is cute so now as soon as she sees a camera, she hams it up with a big smile. What a crazy girl.

She is the love of my life. Here she is hamming it up "big girl" style.
