Alex Drummond just shared some fresh milestone photos of sweet baby Sofia, and seriously, how is this little pookie head already seven months old? It feels like five minutes ago Ree Drummond shared the news that she was officially a grandma, and now Sofia is practically grown up—or at least getting closer!—and more expressive than ever.

In the new pictures Alex posted on Instagram, Sofia is sitting up all on her own now, wearing a flowery romper that's perfect for summer. She's holding a sweet little milestone card with a giraffe on it that reads "7 months," and her wide-eyed expressions are such a change from those adorably slumpy attempts at sitting when she was just three months old.

In one snap, Sofia looks completely surprised, and in another, she's leaning forward like she's ready to crawl right off the chair. Her cheeks, those little fingers, and the arm rolls—it's all too much. 😭

"A few days late but got the shot," Alex joked in her post, which is so relatable for anyone who's ever tried to wrangle a baby into taking monthly photos on time.

These past seven months have been a total whirlwind for Sofia and her proud parents. She's already checked off some big firsts, like attending her Aunt Paige's gorgeous ranch wedding, celebrating her first Fourth of July decked out in red, white, and blue, and going on beach adventures where she's gotten sand between her tiny toes. Plus, Sofia's best buddy George has been right there by her side, supervising tummy time sessions and nap breaks along the way.

Meanwhile, Alex has been sharing so many cute snippets of motherhood. She's celebrated holidays as a new mom, navigated sleepless nights, and soaked up all the sweet family moments in between. And let's not forget Grandma Ree-Ree, who can't stop gushing over her granddaughter and basically melts into a puddle every time Sofia flashes that gummy smile.

It's wild how quickly Sofia is growing up, but one thing's for sure: She's got a whole crowd of family, friends, and Instagram fans cheering her on every step of the way. Here's to seven months of giggles, milestones, and the chubbiest cheeks in Texas!
