2 more Sofia milestones!

Sofia is learning new things every day. It's pretty amazing to watch. I worried that milestones wouldn't be as exciting for us as parents the second time around, but I'm happy to report, it's just as exciting to watch #2 develop.

So today Sofia did two things:

#1-Perfected the pincer grasp! She's been trying to get food in to her mouth on her own for a couple of weeks, but usually misses. Today at dinner she got all her puffs in her mouth by herself-one at a time! She also sucked on a green bean tonight while the rest of us were eating dinner. She's been really good with her mum mums and her zweiback toast.

#2-Pulling her self to standing. So, as you all know, she's been standing for a couple of weeks but she hasn't been able to pull herself up to it. She's been trying for the past couple of days (around the same time she began to get in the sitting position by herself). Today, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready and Ella and Ricardo were coloring. Ricardo called for me. Sofia had pulled herself up to her learning table! Yea Sofia...although I foresee some sleep issues as soon as she figures out that standing in the crib is much more fun than sleeping in it. :)

Are you allowed to eat up your child?

Or at the very least, just nibble on her? Seriously, I'm going to have to eat her up. She's just too cute not too.

This is after her 2nd 30 minute nap of the day...see, she knows she has to be charming and cute.

I still can't believe she's standing so much at 7 months.

We went to the allergist today and she's not allergic to anything ( he tested her for peaches, bananas, apples, carrots, and eggs). Yahoo. She is still having a reaction to the peaches and bananas though which means she does have a sensitivity and we should avoid it for a bit, but it's most likely something she will outgrow very soon. So that's wonderful news.

She was such a trooper too. They did a skin test with 8 different needles (the poke them all at once) but she barely let out a cry. She did do the quivering lip thing though, which I have to say, is pretty darn cute.

I better get her to to try to nap one more time today. A bunch of people from KPMG are going over to Pete's house (Ella's boyfriend Ben and his big sister Jessica) for dinner and hanging out. Should be fun.
