Sophie's 6 months old!

Just got back from Sophie's 6 month appt. check up and we found out that she also has an ear infection. We thought that she just had a little cold or was cutting teeth again, but I guess we were wrong. Anyway she will be on antibiotics for 10 days. She was 21.5 lbs and 27 in. The doctor thought her growth has slowed, but that was a good thing considering she was over the 100% percentile for weight.

So far she seems to be a very happy baby, but more sensitive than Addy was. She just started solids a few weeks ago and were slowly introducing new foods into her diet. She loves her big sister and stares and tries to grab her and touch her whenever possible. She loves to roll over, jump in her exersaucer, and stand up. I think she will be able to sit up on her own in a week or two since we are getting stroger by the day.

I wish I could say that she is a good sleeper, but we are still working on that. We still have her crib in our room, so that could be affecting her sleeping habits a bit. Listening to me snore all night would keep up any baby!

Addy is 21 months now and is already falling into the bossy sister roll. She likes to lecture Sophie and still loves to yell. She is attending an early childhood education class and it's helping her learn to be patient and take turns with other kids her age. Since she's not in daycare anymore we were concerned about socalizing her with other kids. Her favorite things right now are running and dancing! She loves tangled, Annie, and anything tinkerbell! She likes to carry her books around, but she not so into letting anyone read to her right now. She hates having her diaper changed and fights it, oh also getting dressed! She still loves bath time and now insist on having the shower turned on during her bath too!

She is getting a larger vocabulary by the day. Some of her favorite words are light, no, uh oh, whats that, okay, car, chirp chirp, color, more, just to name a few.

Thats about it for now. I am looking forward to the holidays, but I have to admit that I'm dreading winter. Having two little ones cooped up inside with limited activities will be a challenge, but we will do our best! :)
