Milestones

Sophia's achieved another milestone this week. She's started to sit up unassisted. She even puts her arms out to steady herself. She seems very happy she doesn't have to lay on her back all the time anymore.

Smile

The smiles are coming more and more ... especially for visitors who bring toys.

Big Girl

Sophia's almost 6 months old now. She's just gotten so big. See the earth in her shadow. She can touch the clouds (especially when she's on Dad's shoulders).

Baby Bites

How many people does it take to feed a baby? As many as possible. Everyone wants to be involved with some rice cereal. Good thing she's got her funky, monkey bib on. :)

Baptismal Bliss

Well, the good news is Sophia looked adorable in the baptismal dress. The same one I wore when I was her age. And, predictably, she was happy until the man in the robe poured water on her. Still, she recovered quickly. She probably couldn't wait to get back to being the center of her grandparents' and aunt's attention.
