dear Sofie

It's 8.30pm on a Sunday and I am getting ready for bed. I haven't been writing to you nearly as much as I would like, and I haven't even put your 7 month old pictures on here yet. Almost 2 months ago you stopped sleeping like a champion and it is kicking my ass. And your dads ass too. I just want you to know that. We are zombies. It's inexplicable. You've started eating solid food and you love it. Pears and apples are your favourite! You eat vegetables too, so far you've eaten everything that we've introduced to you. And today we think you drank water from a cup, it was hard to tell if it was water or just drool. We'll keep practicing that one. You are such an amazing girl Sofie. We just love you so much. You are so happy and curious and strong and funny. People stop us every day to comment on how happy and beautiful you are. You also got TWO teeth at the same time! It was a miserable 3 weeks for us all, but they're here now and we think your top one is coming as well. And your hair is growing. You are changing so much, every day. It is amazing to watch and I am so happy to be your mama. I just think you're the best. Night night little girl. Please for the love of God sleep longer than a 3 hour stretch tonight. Please.

We bought you a pumpkin hat today. Because yesterday was the first day of Autumn and Autumn is my favourite.
