Progress

In no particular order: Sofia is on the brink of rolling over. This morning when Dan brought her in to our bedroom she rolled her hips all the way over, but her arm was trapped under her. Last night she slept on her side for the first time. Dan noticed today that Sofia pulls her toes away in anticipation of him grabbing them.
Yesterday while playing on her play gym, Sofia used one toy (the red mirror) to 'hit' the other toys. She also can throw her toys now, though I don't think she does it on purpose. When she throws her toys, she shows her disappointment that the toy is gone by screaming....instantly. She shows frustration this way as well.
By far, watching her relationship with Max develop is my favorite. Now that she responds to gestures and facial expressions, they enjoy riveting back and forth communication. Sofia will see Max. She will stare at him until he looks at her. Once he looks she smiles or giggles. Then because she has smiled, Max smiles. When she sees Max smile, she laughs. This makes Max laugh. Repeat.
