Months that is!

Yes, I have been very negligent in posting Sophia’s “month birthday” photos.  But I have been taking them so I guess that’s a step in the right direction.

Our little one is growing up so quickly! I cannot believe she is 5 months old already!  Here are a few stats about our Sweet Sophie.

- is the “Rolling Queen” and has been rolling over since she was 3 months old, it only took her a couple of days after learning to roll onto her tummy for her to figure out how to roll onto her back again.  Smart cookie.  She gets that from her mother.

- is a big smiler.  Sophia will smile at anyone, anytime, anyplace.  She has the cutest gummy grin.

- looks a lot like her big brother.  Everyone says so and I can definitely see it.

- stopped sucking her thumb. While other moms who have had “thumb-suckers” tell me this is a blessing, I admit I was sad to see it go…she was so cute sucking her thumb and I’ve never had a baby do that before.

- so drooly. This has earned her the nickname “Princess Drool” (see Toy Story) Lots of drool.  All the time.

- sound sleeper. Sophia has been sleeping 8-10 hours a night for months now, it’s been so long I’m not even sure when she started.  Maybe 6-8 weeks old? It’s not uncommon for Sophia to be the last one to wake up in the morning.  A miracle considering the volume with which her older siblings talk (yell, fight) at 7 am.

- funny hair.  Sophia doesn’t have much hair to speak of…except for at the nape of her neck.  There she has a tuft of long dark brown hair.

- weighs about 16 lbs, and 27 inches

- good=mischievous? Only time will tell.  Sophia is seriously one of the best babies I have ever had or met.  We are seeing her curiosity about the world around her grown, she is so interested in foods, though she’s not hungry, just anxious to see what this is all about.  She will grab any food/dishes/etc that come within her reach.  She will nearly jump out of your arms to get the previous mentioned things.  Sophia has been given a few sips of water from a cup and nearly exploded with excitement.

- Early crawler? Eeek! Sophia has become so efficient at rolling that she can move all over a room going where ever she pleases.  She lifts her whole upper torso off the ground with her arms and is trying to get her little knees under herself to try to move herself forward.

- swimmer.  Sophia has a move we call “swimming.”  When laying on her tummy she kicks her legs and arms while balancing on her belly in a “swimming motion.”  She does this when she is excited about something.  So cute.

- talkative. Sophia makes lots of baby noises.  Her two favourite noises are 1) a sound she makes as she “gargles” her drool. Lovely. 2) sounds like she is saying “Blah, Blah,Blah”  Tom thinks she is trying to say “Dada”

- sticks out her tongue.  Sophia has discovered her tongue not long ago and is often seen with it hanging out of her mouth.  She often “chews’ on her tongue, turning it sideways in her mouth.  I think there may be another reason she is “chewing” on her tongue more lately…stay tuned for that.

- nicknames.  Sophia, like any other Lister baby, has tons of nicknames.  Currently she answers to “Sophie”, “Sweet Fee,” “Feea,” “Foo,” “Fee-Fee,” and “Moe.”
