The Daily Norm

Sophia can pull herself up now. She decided to stand up for a better look.

Looking through her books
She is in the hilarious habit of crawling along, finding a toy, putting it in her mouth, and continuing on her way. My little puppy girl.
Playing under the table, one of her favorite spots.

A Peek Into Our Daily Life

It is so fun to watch Sophia as she makes new discoveries every week. She has become very observant and can pick my face out of a crowd now. When there are several people standing around her, she scans the faces and when her eyes come to rest upon my face, she hesitates and smiles. That makes me feel so special.
She is also beginning to take interest in grabbing things. If we hold a toy up in front of her face, she will try to reach out and grab it. Her depth perception is still a little off, but she trying!
Another exciting development is that Sophie can sit up when she is supported! So many nights, she sits next to us on the couch while we eat dinner.

Getting Into the Groove

Sophia has set a fairly consistent schedule now! She usually goes to bed between 10-11PM. She wakes up around 1:30AM for a snack, then sleeps until about 5:30-6AM. After another snack, she falls back to sleep until around 7:30-8. Then she alternates naps, pooping, eating and awake time for the rest of the day. Her longest awake time usually starts around 6PM. She quietly looks around until she goes to sleep for the night around 10.

It is really nice to have a rough structure to the day, so I can know what to expect and plan the day accordingly.
