6 months

Sophie's official 6 month birthday is tomorrow, but since next week is going to be pretty busy, and I have nothing to do today I am going to post today. Anyway, I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY IS 6 MONTHS!!! If you think you love your newborn, it just gets better and better! I love her more every day and it gets more and more fun! Well you know the drill, here's the list!

-I hate to say it, but she turns in to a stinker if anyone but Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa, Grandma, Granny, or Papa try to hold her :S I am hoping it's just a phase!

-She has tried pears, carrots, bananas, and green beans. The order is in her most favorite to least.

-Grandpa and Grandma try to give her tastes of icecream. I get a little irritated by this, I am trying to not let her know what sugar is for a long time if she is going to have the addiction that her Mommy and Daddy have.

-We also let her taste a pickle. I thought she would pull a face, but she actually loved it and kept reaching for it.

-She can ALMOST sit unassisted.

-She hasn't crawled yet, but I can tell she wants to!

-She can almost stand up by herself.

-She loves hiking while Daddy carries her in the snuggie!!

-She loves going on motorcycle rides with Grandpa.

-Waves bye bye, but only for Granny

-We watch Playhouse Disney in the mornings, and she loves Mickey Mouse.

-She goes to bed around 10 and sleeps until 7, wakes up for half an hour to eat, and goes back to sleep until 10 am. This is great, but she only takes about 2 hours worth of naps all day.

-She's still nursing... until she gets teeth, and I think the bottom 2 are gonna pop any day! Ok I take that back, she can nurse until she starts biting :)

-She definitley knows how to get pissed. She may have a little attitude.... She sure can scream. I call it "Dodgeitude" to tease Ashton and say she gets it from him.

-6-9 month clothes, size 2 diapers, 14 lbs. 4 ozs. My little mini-me

-This is off subject, but did you notice I decided to not be lazy? I figured I better start using proper grammar and punctuation. I do know how, I am just lazy most of the time.

Crafts

I've already made one of these.....

now next on my list are these pretty little gems

Maybe it's the whole stay-at-home-mom-thing... but I have been obsessed with crafts lately! Usually it's just the typical baby stuff like flower bows and tutus. But yesterday I saw this idea on Good Things Utah and I madE a cute little flower paper thing. Now I have been linking to all kinds of different crafty blogs and there are so many things I want to make. Especially EASTER things since I LOVE EASTER!!!!!

Weekend Adventures

first we saw some really cool petroglyphs

Sophie got her first motorcycle ride from Grandpa! She loved it! Grandpa likes to wait until babies are 6 months old for their first ride, but Sophie (or Sophie's mommy) could not wait another week!

i love sophie lots

our fun hike in zions. i love that sophie loves to hike!

sophie in her new church dress that i love and wearing my shoes when i was a baby

food

first of all let me start off by saying i am NOT pregnant. but i have had uncontrollable cravings lately! today i was sitting at home and all of a sudden i needed chocolate. not in 5 minutes... or an hour... I NEEDED IT NOW! so i made ashton bring me home some chocolate and i ate 2 whole candy bars. which i would normally never be able to do because so much sugar makes me sick. i also am hungry all the time! and i eat a lot! i was getting a little nervous that there was some sort of oops or something, so i googled craving food while breastfeeding, and it turns out a lot of people crave things like chocolate or sugar while they are breastfeeding. the reason for this post is that i am wondering if i am crazy or did any other mommies have these crazy craving while they were breastfeeding. k i am gonna go eat some cookies... :)

5 Months

Sophie at 5 months...

-she loves to bounce if you hold her under her armpits while she stands she will jump all day. but when we put her in her bouncer she doesn't know what to do.

-she loves to stand. i'm afraid she'll try to walk before she crawls.

-she can roll.

-she loves rice cereal. she's also tried pears, apples, and bananas, but she loves pears the most.

-she is now pooping 8 times a day. i only bring this up because i wonder if it's normal. she usually only goes about every other day, but now it's 8 times. i do not love this.

-she waves bye bye. but will only do it for her granny.

-size 2 diapers

-6-9 month clothes

- i have no clue how much she weighs.

-she's starting to look more like her mommy :)

-she is starting to get separation anxiety. if she realizes we have left her she will scream so we are trying to leave her with people more often so she'll get over it.

-she finally allowed us to go to all 3 meetings of church for the first time yesterday. although daddy ditched out a little early anyway :)

-she still loves watching sports and music.

-she can sleep for 8 hours straight. happy happy for me!

-she makes fart sounds with her lips. i love this.

-she laughs a lot, and it's super cute.

-she's starting to teeth, and the first tooth is coming in on top. i'm not to excited about this!!! ouchie!!!

-she's finally starting to get a little hair.

LOVE YOU SOPH!!!!

thank you note

so here is another random post. i seem to think this is more funny than everyone else does. last night i was going through a huge bin of old pictures at my parents' house and i found this thank you note in cute little kid handwriting with letters backwards and things spelled wrong. it was written by my little brother daxi. this is what is said....

on the front there was a stick figure person holding a big piece of gum with a caption saying.
"a peace of gum. oh my gosh! thank you!"

Then inside it said, "thank you for the peace of gum. my breath stinked bad. i would love to go to afghanistan and breathe and kill osadan bolatin. thank you. dax wittwer."

hahaha i love it so much. little kids are so funny. we can't figure out who it was to or anything. but i love it.
