I thought I would start a blog to document Sophie's early days as so much happens and I want to be able to share it and remember it in the future!
Sophie had begun to laugh a lot which is so adorable! (see video below)
She is rapidly growing and is now definitely out of 0 -3 month clothes and into 3 - 6 month clothes now. I tried weighing her the other day (by standing on the scales holding her and then weighing myself after) and I think she is 14lb now, which seems amazing as she was only 7lb 6oz when we brought her home, she has doubled in size!
Other things I have noticed this week are that she is wanting to stand a lot. She can't obviously stand by herself yet, but she is wanting to put weight on her legs and giggles whenever you help her to get upright :)
She's also started to pass objects from one hand to the other, she is not always successful and it can take her a few tries to do it but she is definitely getting better hand eye coordination and is very proud of herself whenever she manages to achieve it!
I can't wait to start weaning; she is already very interested in our food and watches with fascination as we eat! I think she thinks its some kind of magic trick! I've started a weaning pack for her with spoons, baby cereal and baby rice in it. I think we'll start weaning when we go and visit mum and dad in July (she'll be 5 and a half months) so that I can get mum's pearls of wisdom and so that if its a disaster its not our kitchen getting splatted, lol!
Right time for a feed so better go,
I will try and do a post every week!
