Dearest Sophie,

You are 7 mths old today! Mummy finally managed to take a picture of you sitting unsupported!

You’ve been able to sit unsupported for a while already but not for very long. But as the days go by, you are getting steadier n steadier. You can even sit in the bathtub to have your bath now, which means you can splash water and play with your rubber duckies that Jovann’s mummy bought for you.

Yesterday, mummy saw you attempting to crawl! But it was more like a snake, you were desperately moving your body to get to the $30 on the bed. Smart gal!

Nowadays your grip is really strong and you try all sorts of ways to pull stuff from all over the place – from the table, behind you on the changing table, my hair, our glasses etc… You can grip onto the curtains and stand on the sofa too!

You’ve started eating baby biscuits and you love it. You’ll cry when there’s no more. You eat really fast too. A bit stressful to feed you coz you’ll cry when I feed you too slowly! You can finish latching on and eating solids in all but 15 mins. I counted today. You’re already onto 3 solids meals a day – breakfast, lunch n dinner with a milk feed at tea.

The most wonderful thing is that you’ve started sleeping thru the nite without waking up for feed from 7 – 7. Sometimes you wake up a bit earlier but that’s ok coz i’m so happy i get to sleep thru the nite too! Good gal!

You’ve been a really happy baby, constantly smiling. It’s so nice to see you smile all the time….. i love just watching you smile and happy. I love it when i tickle you and you laugh. But you turn into another baby by 7pm if you’re not in bed. You become Ms Grouchy! Nothing can pacifiy you except mummy carrying you.

I think you could be starting to have separation anxiety coz sometimes when i’m not around, you start looking for me and will cry if i don’t appear fast enough. Even when daddy or grandma carry you, you’ll still cry but once mummy carries you, you stop immediately. Heh… secretly i’m really enjoying that special privilege but sometimes it gets really tiring for mummy coz you don’t want to let go. But it’s okie, I’ll enjoy it while it lasts coz I know once you’re mobile you prob want to wander off on your own…

You’ve been so fun to play with that sometimes after you go to sleep at 7, i keep thinking about you and what we did during the day. But I’m glad you sleep at 7 coz at least mummy has some down time to rest, eat dinner and hang out with daddy.

I’m really glad I’m staying home to look after you coz every day is such a joy (tiring like mad) and I wouldn’t exchange this for anything else.

You are the bestest baby in the whole wide world!

Love
Mommy
