Sophia's birth turned out nothing like I imagined or had planned for and that is okay. I will forever consider Sophia’s birth one of the best days of my life.

At the start of 6 months you were 2 feet 1/2 inch (5th percentile) and 15 pounds 7 ounces (35th percentile). We will weigh you again when we get to grandma and grandpa’s house this next week. It is so fun watching you grow little-by-little and day-by-day.

You are 15.5 pounds of 100% chunk and we love it! Your thighs and arms have some serious rolls and they are so delicious. Your personality is really coming out and you’re just so much fun. We love watching you explore your surroundings and take everything in for the first time.

How is it possible that we have had you earth side for 5 months? We’ve been buddies for over a year! This has been a month full of the best things in life: friends and family. We absolutely love watching you grow and are excited for what is to come!

It just amazes me that another month has already gone by. We don’t always see you changing day-to-day and then we look back a few weeks and it is like you’re a whole new person. Every month you’re learning new skills and improving the old ones.

You may be tiny but you sure are mighty! You have started to grow out of your newborn clothes and your thighs are finally chunky enough that you don’t leak out of your cloth diapers as much.
