tummy time

Sophia is not always a fan of tummy time. This week mom decided to try tummy time on the boppy pillow. Dad said it was cheating; mom on the other hand thinks it's pure genious.

Look at that happy baby :)


That was hard work! ;)

Sophia likes to listen to her doctor (social smiled for the first time the day of her 1 month doctor's appointment) so when her doctor said she will start grabbing things soon we thought we'd test that out with her new rings.



Look at me hanging on to the rings! I may or may not have had a little help from mom...;)

a visit to the doctor

Sophia had her two month doctor's appointment on Tuesday. She weighed in at 11 lbs 10 ounces (65th percentile) and 22.5" long (50th percentile). Here are some pictures from the doctors.

Having a chat with my doc and showing off how strong I am! Look at all that cute baby chub! love it!

Sophia did a great job! and then the shots showed up :( poor baby bear had to have 4 shots! She slept all morning after but had a bit of a rough afternoon, who can blame her after 4 shots! She recovered by the evening and was her smiling self again.

2 months!

Sophia is 2 months old today! It's amazing how much Sophia has grown and changed in 2 short months.

At 2 months Sophia is a smiling, happy baby most of the time. Just like the books say, her fussiness peaked around 6 weeks and we've seen a steady improvement in her mood ever since. These days if Sophia is upset there is typically a simple, quick solution...she's hungry, she wants to eat on the other side, she's on her way towards sleepy land and wants a final cuddle...


Car rides are still her only challenge, mom thinks it's because she likes to be held when she is sleepy (which is still a significant amount of time). Car rides have to be very well timed! She is certainly crying a lot less and sometimes not at all so we are hopeful she is getting used to it!

At 2 months Sophia is:

• wearing size 0-3 months clothes
• focusing on faces
• holding her head up higher all the time!
• smiling a ton!
• cooing and babbling
• sleeping 6-7 hours at night with 1 night feeding
• awake for 1 hour stretches before napping again during the day

what does this do?!

Sophia has discovered her right hand but isn't quite sure what to do with it yet.

She can frequently be found sucking on it or hitting herself in the face with it. All part of the learning process.
