Sophie // Month 5

This month, Sophie and I have had the best time exploring the art museum, singing at story time with new friends (I was skeptical, but the second I walked in, I loved it. A room filled with chunky babies does wonders for the soul.), hiking Chautauqua with her boyfriend, Rowan, listening to dad jam at open mic nights in Boulder, playing the piano, picnicking with baby buddies, and sauntering through the neighborhood in our super-hip ergobaby carrier. She finally likes it. Only took five months.But... Sophie would rather be hanging with her fur siblings than doing anything else. She watches the dog yawn or lick her feet, and she cracks up. Just can't contain herself. There is no doubt Miss Sophie Jennifer Jean is 100% our daughter. Animal obsession is in her genes.Favorite books: The Pout Pout Fish by Diesen & Hannah, Will You Be My Sunshine by Julia Lobo, Peek-A-Who? by Nina Laden, and Doggies by Sandra Boynton.Favorite songs: "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins, "What Does the Fox Say," "September" by Earth Wind and Fire, and "Delicate" by Taylor SwiftFavorite activities: Other than spending every free second with Charles Barkley and Lucky Kitty, she loves slamming the piano, getting her ribs tickled, twisting strands of hairs in the webbing of her fingers then yanking her hand away with said hairs, grabbing cups and cold cans, reaching (but not quite grasping) her toes, turning the pages of her board books all by herself, screaming dinosaur noises at dad, and belly-laughing as I pretend to gobble up those delicious thighs.Favorite things: Teething keys, Sophie the giraffe, my lips and face, a neon nursing necklace (bright colored rubber balls), rubber teething rattleLeast favorite things + activities: Being in her carseat (I once had to pull over three times because she was sobbing so intensely I thought she was going to pass out), being bored, being alone for more than 15 seconds...New Nicknames:  Soph Soph, Soph-on-a-Rope, Little Chunk, Dactyl, Soph de la Soph da Soph da SophFirsts: Rolling from belly to back!A few favorite photos: P.S.
