Happy 7 Month Birthday to you, Sophia!! Our perfect little angel... We adore you and can't imagine life without you!!! You have made our already rich lives so very much richer and so very much happier by being our beautiful baby girl!
Sophia had a good week this week. She seems to be very happy and just loves playtime - whether it's here at home or at daycare. She can sit by herself (surrounded by pillows and on a soft mat) and just play and play. She hasn't started crawling yet but she sort of does a sitting lunge sometimes and she also will rock or bounce while sitting so we think it's not too far off for the next step of moving around on her belly. Or, she might just skip crawling altogether and go straight for pulling herself up and walking. Who knows... Either way, I'm sure she'll keep us on our toes.
The really big news around these parts is that Mommy has made a very big change at work and next week is her last week as a full-time employee. She is going to become a stay at home mom as of Nov. 1st to be home with Sophie all day long. This is very exciting for all of us and we can't wait to have that luxury to go out or go play when we're home together now (rather than doing conference calls and videoconferences all day). We are very lucky to have this option and hope we can make it all work out! Thankfully, Mommy will still be doing part-time consulting work but only a small number of required hours per week and they can be done whenever so we won't be tied to the computer all day. Hooray!!
The other (in some ways equally) big news is that we finally got a Johnny Jumper for Sophia and she absolutely loves it. Pop Pop Stumpo has been saying we should get a Johnny Jumper for a long time now and boy was he right! We've never seen anything cuter than Sophie hanging out and jumping like crazy in it. You must see it in person to truly appreciate the cuteness...
And, finally we got Sophia some new toys yesterday at Toys R Us. Guess what her favorite new toy is??? A $4.99 set of stacking cups. She loves them! It just goes to show you, expensive toys don't necessarily make for favorite toys.

Congratulations on your 7th month, Sophie. We read your name in the birth center newsletter and noticed you got that day all to yourself. Luke was born on a pretty busy day as you can see:

I'm not surprised you like those stacking cups. Owen and Luke still play with them in the bathtub to make potions. It's so Montessori too. You'll love the pink tower someday.
I've very happy about Mommy's job change too.
