* Sophie is always on the go and still army crawling all over the place.
* Sophie decided that pureed food is for babies and that she is a BIG girl! She flat out refused them for a while and even spit it back out or gagged if it got close to her mouth. What a stinker! She now eats some pureed food but mostly itty bitty pieces of other food. She love, love, loves blueberries!
Here she is shoveling food into her mouth with her LEFT hand.* Soph is still a little bookworm!
* She is still a chatter box and loves to tell us stories and sometimes serenades us with little songs. She makes the sweetest sounds I've ever heard.
* For a while we just put Sophie in size 4 diapers just before going to bed but have transitioned to using 4's all day long.
* This growing baby is wearing a very few 6-9 month clothes but mostly 9 month clothes
* She is anxious to be able to walk on her own. For Christmas she got a little walker dinosaur and she loves to use that to help her around (with little assistance from us).
* At Sophie's nine month check up she weighed 19lbs and 13oz which puts her in the 75th percentile for her weight. She is 28.5 inches tall and in the 90th percentile for her length. As we were leaving the office her doctor told us that we needed to make her next appointment in three months for her 12 month wellness check up... GULP! I can't believe that one year is sneaking up on us!
* Josh's nickname for her is Chunky Monkey or just Chunky these days.
* She LOVES Lucy! These days she gives her great big hugs and is learning to be gentle with her. Lucy is very patient and lets her snuggle her for a bit.
* Taking a bath is one of Sophie's favorite things to do! I love wrapping her up and snuggling her in her towel after... She is just so darn cute!
* Playtime is so much fun with Sophie. She is a hoot to watch and just as sweet as can be!
