Not Just Average

Sophie had her 6 month check-up yesterday.  She weighed 15 lbs. 6 oz. (50%) and was 25 3/4 inches long (50%).  The doctor said that she was average, but she's not just average to us!  She continues to bring so much joy to our family.  It seems so long ago that we went day after day with her screaming.  It's a good thing that God makes those times seem so far away or else people might not keep having children!   She is right on track with developing.  She is rolling over, grabs for toys, tracks with her eyes and is scooting on her belly.  She can sit up for a little bit, but could do it longer if she didn't kick her feet as much as she does!    She started rice cereal on July 12th and has been doing an awesome job with eating it--we weren't too surprised since she is a little more serious about her eating than her  brother ever was.  We were going to start her on oatmeal, but decided not to since she got 5 shots yesterday.  We didn't want to have any confusion of new food or shot if she has some kind of reaction.  She did start drinking from a sippy cup yesterday and knew exactly what to do with it.  She was holding it and put it right up to her mouth.   She continues to be an excellent sleeper by sleeping anywhere from 8 to 10 hours at night!!!  Mommy and Daddy still haven't learned to go to bed early.  Maybe by the next child, we will learn! 

This Sunday we are having Sophie baptized.  Three of the grandparents are coming for her special day.  We still aren't sure if Chris will be participating in any of it, but I think it would be a special thing if he was able to.  I did take some pictures of her in her baptism dress, so feel free to look at them. 

As I get ready to close, I just need to share with our sweet girl how honored we are to have been chosen to be her parents.  You are the most precious unexpected blessing we have received!  We love you, Sophie Su!
