Sophie's development

Time flies. Sophie will be 5 months old come 3 Sept. Since she was 4 months old, she has been developing her gross motor skills, cognitive skills, not to mention her tastebuds, rapidly. These are some of her achievements to date:

1) Sophie has been on semi solids since she was 4 mths old. She loves her lunch of rice cereal with vege or fruit puree. Yum yum.

2) Sophie loves to sit up. She has been practicising foward crunches since she was 31/2 months old. She can now lift her upper body from a flat or reclined position. Amazing ab muscles!

3) Sophie can flip. She has been trying since she was 4 mths old. When she first started, she had trouble flipping properly, as she did not know how to lift her head in tandem with her butt. Nowadays, she can flip with ease and she will flip while playing or sleeping.

4) Sophie is beginning to crawl. Yup, the little munster will kick wildly and move her butt like a mermaid, inching herself forward (think leopard crawl). However, she has not gotten the idea of using her arms, so she will scream with frustration after a few futile attempts.

5) Sophie is very curious. Yep, she will turn her attention towards the source of sound or activity. She can even tilt her head backwards just to look at the world upside down. Hee hee..

6) Sophie knows who is mommy and daddy. When mommy asks, "Where is daddy?"She will swivel her head towards Daddy's direction.
