Weeks 41-45

Sofia continues to get faster at crawling and even is standing by herself from time to time. We continue to see the Latin side of her as she loves to dance to any type of music. December was a fun month for Sofia as she got to hang out with her buddies from playgroup and go to a few Christmas parties. She spent Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's hanging out with her best dog friend (Joey), bathing in the kitchen sink and even getting to try her first Christmas cookie. Stranger anxiety has set-in and Sofia has had a tough time warming up to Astor's friend, Sam and even her Uncle Scott. She definitely knows now who is Mom and Dad and says both "Mama" and "Dada."

Weeks 36-40

Sofia is definitely in the exploration phase and has found that she loves the swings and sand at Golden Gate Park. She enjoyed her first trick or treating as a bunny on a closed neighborhood street that faced so serious stroller traffic:))

At Sofia's 9 month check up, we found that she is officially off the charts in both height and weight but were praised once again by the doctor for maintaining her weight.

Sofia had a very memorable Thanksgiving weekend, eating turkey and mashed potatoes for the first time and even a little bite of apple pie. To continue with the festivities, she was baptised on Saturday, making the congregation chuckle a few times due to the serious/mad face she gave the pastor.
