Sophi turned 6 months old yesterday. Where has the time gone!!! 
Our little girl is truly exploring the world these days! She is rolling over, and over and over to get whatever she wants that is out of her reach (which is usually something she shouldn't have!). She also does 360 degree turns while on her tummy, pushes up and scoots backwards. Crawling is not for away for this little girl!
She loves to sit and play but still prefers standing most of all. She loves to walk from room to room holding on to our fingers. Her favorite "person" is still Shiloh, but I think her daddy is a close second!
Sophi started eating solid food this month. She is still getting the hang of it. She has only had rice and oat cereal but we are looking forward to trying new fruits and vegetables in the coming weeks and months! Through this process we have learned that Sophi likes to do things on her own, without our help. I am thinking this might be a trait that sticks with her throughout her life!
Here are Sophi's stats for this month:
Height - 26 1/4 inches - 75th percentile
Weight - 15 pounds 1 once - 50th percentile
Head - 16 and 1/4 inches - 50th percentile
I will complete my last day of work this Wednesday and return to staying at home full-time with Sophi. Josh will return to full-time work as a student and teacher as well as studying for his comprehensive exams that he will be taking at the end of August. We have also decided we will remain here in Pasadena for another year as Josh completes his dissertation. It makes us sad to think about how far away we will continue to be from so many people we love but we are also excited to see what God has in store for us as we remain here in California! And we are excited to spend more time with the precious friends we have made here, our family away from home!
Our transition into parenthood the past 6 months has been one of such peace and joy and we are grateful for all those who have played a part in making our smooth transition possible!

Love the update on such a sweet beautiful little girl and so happy the three of you are doing so very well :) God is good.
So glad you are going to be able to stay home with Sophi full-time! It is the BEST job in the world. I thank God every day (and Shawn for working so hard) that I am able to stay home with Caleb.
I can't wait to have you all here for a week! Hope our beach weather is good - but it really won't matter if its cloudy with "Miss Sunshine" here! Love You! Lolly
