One Month Old Today!

Happy One Month Miss Sophia! 

We are having so much fun watching Sophia grow and learn new things. I could seriously sit and watch her all day every day and be perfectly content. Having a child has changed my perspective on life, and has shown me how precious life really is.  Sophia is so pure and innocent, and has never had a single toxin brought into her life.  If we could only stay like this forever.  Sweet, small, and happy.


I don't know exactly how much she weighs, but I'm guessing she's put on a good pound!  She is much heavier to hold, especially when she's in her car seat!  I guess I better start hitting up the gym if I expect to carry her as she gets even bigger!  She has grown out of her newborn diapers and a couple of her newborn onsies!  Luckily this happened the day that we ran out of newborn diapers, so we don't need to buy any more! Good timing! :)




Sophia is now getting one bottle per day, usually right before she goes to bed.  This has been a great break for me, and some wonderful bonding time for her and Rob.  The moment doesn't last long between them, because she drinks that bottle down within 5 minutes!  She definitely has her daddy's appetite, and usually eats every 2 hours.  Sometimes we can stretch it to 3, but that's usually if she's been sleeping.




We have had lots of adventures this week! Sophia and I made it out of the house quite a bit, and it feels so good to finally be able to take her out on my own.  We had a couple of lunch dates with some friends, trips to Target and Buy Buy Baby (our new favorite stores), the Farmer's Market in Crystal Lake, Daddy's band practice, and Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We also had some visitors this week, Aunt Rebecca and Baby Griffin, and Aunt Laura.  We have had so much fun doing so many new things.






 New Milestones this week:  
  • I can hold my head up for more than five seconds.
  • I can focus on objects-mainly faces, trees, and anything black, white, or red
  • I can hold my pacifier and bottle (for only a few seconds)
  • I love to listen to music and to be sung to, especially jazz music.
