One Month!

Oh my goodness, the last month has flown by! My little girl is already a month old!

Things are going so well and Sophie is happy and healthy. She had a fever one night (which about scared me to death) but other than that hasn't had any problems. She is also sleeping much better during the night. She usually sleeps 4-5 hours, gets fed, then goes down for another 2-3 hours. The other night she even slept for 6 hours straight! It is so nice!

She is also one of the happiest babies ever. People who have spent a lot of time with her are so surprised that they've never heard her cry - because she rarely does! Just recently though, she started to cry/fuss. It really only lasted a day or 2 and now she seems back to her happy self, so hopefully that stays!

Here are some updates about Sophie:

-At her 2-week appointment she was 8 lbs and 20 1/2 inches (50th percentile for both height and weight)

-She loves to smile. She's starting to smile more now, not just when she's sleepy. She smiles so big it looks like she's laughing!

-She also loves to grunt. She grunts when she's happy, sleepy, angry, hungry... pretty much all of the time. Silly girl!

-She loves getting her hair brushed and her feet rubbed. I give her little foot massages and her eyes roll back in her head :)

She makes this face a lot. It's so funny!

-When she was only 2 1/2 weeks old I went in to check on her while she was sleeping and she was laying on her side! She had almost rolled all the way over from back to belly. She is pretty strong!

-She giggled for the first time. I'm pretty sure my heart melted into a puddle. It was so cute! (she hasn't done it since though)

-She has to sleep with her hands above her head. If you swaddle her with her arms in the blanket she'll squirm her way out so she can sleep like this...

-She loves to go to the bathroom when you take off her diaper. We learned the hard way that we always need a diaper under her bum while we change her, otherwise things might get messy :)

-She loves to be sung to. When she fusses (which isn't very often), she'll calm right down once we start singing.

Well, that's all I can think of for now, so here are some pictures!

Her belly is really starting to fill out. It's getting pretty round!
