Our little Sophie is now 2 months and 1 week old. This is very bittersweet.. I absolutely love newborns, so I'm sad that she is growing up so fast. It's been so fun though to see her grow and learn. She is becoming a lot more social.
Our friends gave us the idea to take a picture of her every month with a stuffed animal, so we could watch her grow!
Here are the one month pictures:
Things were going great...
But once Sophie realized just how much she liked her giraffe, things went from G to PG-13 real fast...
Things started off a little tense during the 2-month pictures when Sophie kept smacking her giraffe in the face..
But they quickly reconciled and have decided to just be friends :)
For those of you who don't get to see Sophie all of the time, here is what is going on with her these days:
-At 2 months, she was in the 45th percentile for weight (10 lbs 2 oz, I think) and the 75th for height (23 inches!)
-She has grown out of her newborn clothes and is in her 3 month clothes. Again, this is very bittersweet.
-Once she stopped screaming long enough to realize taking a bath wasn't going to kill her, she fell in love it. Now she cries when we take her out. Can you blame her? Soaking in a nice warm tub while getting a full-body massage? Yes please!
-She still spits up a lot. We usually have to set up a burp cloth in her carseat so she doesn't mess up her outfit (see above). I don't think she cares for it too much :)
-She still loves to smile! Every morning when she wakes up for the day, I make a huge deal out of it. When I go to get her I get really excited and smile and squeal for her. She always breaks into huge smiles, which melts my heart. I like to think that she is so glad to see her mom, but she's probably just thinking "Yes! It's the milk lady!"
-She is a hardcore TV addict. If the TV is on in the room she'll crank her head and twist and turn until she has a good view. She watched the movie Tangled from start to finish, she never looked away! (of course she was exhausted after, and fell asleep as soon as it ended. So cute.)
-She's getting pretty good at holding her head up. She can do it for quite a while before she tires out.
-She was blessed on April 10th (pictures will come later)
mid-sneeze :)
-I've been having milk problems, so I've been supplementing with formula. This has helped her sleep better. She was only sleeping 2-3 hours at a time, but is now back to averaging 4-5 hours, which is nice.
-She's starting to stick her bottom lip out when she cries. It breaks my heart! When she's upset she'll look so sad and frown. Then that little lip pops out and I want to cry and laugh at the same time, it is heartbreaking but so dang cute!
-She loves getting her nails painted. Ok, maybe she couldn't care less, but I like it :)
-She used to hate being swaddled, but now she loves it. Actually, we have to swaddle her every time she goes to sleep. If we don't, she'll flail her little arms so much that she'll hit herself in the face and wake herself up. It's kind of cute :)
So that's it for the Sophie update. I fall more in love with her every day. She is such a doll!
