6 months

Today our girl is 6 months old!  She is growing so fast!  We have a photo shoot scheduled in a pumpkin patch in a few weeks, those will be the official 6 month shots.  Until then, this is our sweet Sophie at 1/2 a year old.

Attempting to sit, a little wobbly still...

We have a doctors appointment in a few days, so I will post the official weight and length soon.

This last month we have been busy!  We participated in the 2012 Heart Walk benefiting the American Heart Association.  I've been doing this walk for four years now with the ladies from my unit at the hospital, and this year I was honored to share the day with Dan and Sophie as well!  It was an early morning in the York household, but we enjoyed our stroll together benefiting a great cause.  Thank you to my family and friends who donated money on our behalf!  Our team raised $1200!  Yay!

Early morning walk for this girl

After the Heart Walk we decided to visit Dan's old project, Disney's Art of Animation Resort.  He hasn't been there since he started his new job, and the remainder of the project had opened to the public, so we decided to see how it looked.  Here are the portions of the resort themed after The Lion King and The Little Mermaid!

We also just celebrated Dan's birthday on the 26th.  He is 39 years old!  I made a peanut butter pie for him, (thanks for the recipe Mom!) and we had a relaxing night at home.  Tomorrow night we have a babysitter, so we are having dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Emeril's Tchoup Chop, then we're headed to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights!  The theme this year includes zombies from one of our favorite TV shows, The Walking Dead.  I can't wait to be scared!

We are having a blast with our little girl!  Every day she seems to be doing something new.  When I go to work a few days in a row, and I come home to her, she seems so different, like she's grown in the 12 hours I haven't been with her.  Love seeing her little face light up with a smile when I walk in the door!

Hiiiiii!

Sophie, say hello to Sophie

Another play date with Ella.  Sophie seems to be saying "So, where did your hair go Ella?"

Riding in stroller big girl style!

She is rolling all over the place.  I've heard parents say about their kids, if they are being too quiet, they are probably getting into trouble!  I had no idea this also applied to a 6 month old!  However, when she is being quiet when I have left the room, she has usually rolled to something or somewhere she shouldn't be.  The other day I came back into the room, wondering why she was being so quiet, to find her rolled off her blanket, face down on the wood floor, licking it!  Yuck!  I guess I'll have to swiffer more often...  Other times Lucy will lay down near her, and Sophie will find a way to roll over to her, usually with Lucy at her feet, and proceed to jab her in the ribs with her little feet, kicking away.  Our Lu Lu is a good, tolerant pup so far.  Thanks girl, for entertaining our Sophie and letting her beat up on you!  (This is only the beginning by the way)

Love you Lu Lu!

We got a fun contraption on loan to us from some friends of ours.  It's an exersaucer that Sophie can stand up in.  There are all sorts of sounds, rattles and music to keep her entertained.  She enjoys playing in it a few times a day.  She always looks so amazed at the lights and sounds it makes, she is so silly!

It seems that Lucy is THE most entertaining thing around from the looks of that video!

Here is a video of Sophie's latest babble

We have another busy month ahead of us.  My mom will be coming to visit for a long weekend.  We plan to get down to the business of making baby food for Sophie.  Also, Halloween is just around the corner, so what else would we be doing but making a costume for Miss Sophie's first Halloween!  You will have to check back in to see what she will be dressed as.  Dan's mom will be here around Halloween.  She has so graciously offered to watch our girl while we have people over for our annual Halloween party. 



I just love looking at these pictures side by side!

So much change in so little time! (And a lot more hair!)



 

Happy Fall Y'all!

Love

The Yorks
