Sophie would've been in her new haute chaise (literally: high chair) except it arrived with an extra "feature":














Gah. Waiting for the replacement . . .

6m, Where Has The Time Gone

Sophie had her six month checkup on Friday. She weighed 7.4 kg (16.3 lbs), up 500 g (1.1 lb) from the month before and measured 68.5 cm (27 inches), growing 2.5 cm (1 inch!) since last month! She's average for weight and a little above average for height. Her next appointment is in three months.

I tried to snap a few pics and she was more interested in the ruffles on her pants than looking at the camera - the following is the best of the lot:

26w, Almost Six Months Old

25w1d, Wouldn't Roll Over

24w4d, She's Celebrating Too

Despite not smiling . . . I could barely get her to look at the camera because she was so interested in the Beanie Baby!

24w1d, Where's Sophie

Coming back from a walk with Pascal:

24w, Toussaint

Tous means all and saint means saint - All Saints' Day, an observed holiday in France, where a prayer is held at the cemetery followed by a mass at the church, to remember the deceased. Getting ready to walk to the cemetery . . .

23w6d, Happy Halloween!

You can't see the "stem", but her hat is a pumpkin :)

22w, Nom Nom

5m, Slow Month

Sophie had her five month checkup on Friday and apparently, she didn't feel like growing! She only gained 400 g (.88 lb), putting her at 6.9 kg (15.2 lb), and grew one cm (.39 inches), for 66 cm (26 inches) total.

To make up for a lack of growth, last Monday she decided to commando crawl during tummy time instead of rolling over! And on Wednesday, she FINALLY rolled from back to front, after weeks and weeks of going through the motions.

Friday was a busy, busy day and I didn't get a chance to take a calendar pic until the end of the day, which is when she is least likely to cooperate, so here is her poorly-lit, pre-bath five month photo:

So. My last update was September 8th. My (hard-to-reach) goal is a post every three days. That means I owe this blog six posts!

Let the back-dating begin . . .

At her 4 month checkup, Sophie weighed 6.5 kg (14.3 lbs), up 600 g from August, and a hair more than double her birth weight of 3.22 kg! She's 65 cm (25.6") "tall", growing 4 cm in one month. Grow, Sophie, grow!
