Sophie: Five Months

Sweet baby Sophie, five months old already!

Her facial expressions keep us laughing. JJ is especially enamored with her lately, though she protests if he gets in her space too much. Sophie is trying to sit up and she loves to play with toys now. She also enjoys watching Annie and JJ play and looking at books when I read to the big kids. Sophie is still wearing size 1 diapers and 3-6 month clothes.

We started solids last week because she had actually lost a few ounces, even though she is still nursing 7-8 times a day and I have plenty of milk for her. She just needs more than Annie did at this age. We went back to the doctor today and she has gained 7 oz since last week, so we are back on track. So far she is a big fan of sweet potatoes and bananas. Avocados not so much...but they are high in calories and good fats so I mix them with banana to get a little bit down her. Soon we will be trying oatmeal, butternut squash, apples, and pears.
