Sophie's First Month

Sophie's first month of life flew by way too fast!! We are so in love with our sweet baby girl and love watching her grow and change every day! She is such a joy!  We celebrated Thanksgiving with Paul's family one week after Sophie was born.  Paul and I were extra thankful this year for the sweet blessing that the Lord gave us and for the privilege and honor of being her parents.  Sophie also had her first sickness at 2.5-3 weeks old.  Sophie and I both got a cold with nasal congestion and a bad cough.  It absolutely broke my heart to see Sophie sick, especially at such a young age!! So thankful she is a fighter and handled the sickness better than I did. 

Here are a few stats and things Sophie was doing at One Month:
-8 lbs. 9 oz.(26%) 21 inches (49%)
-wearing newborn diapers and clothes
-trying to hold head up and doing well at it
-tracking rattles
-loves looking at lights
-makes the funniest noises (grunts mostly)
-smiles in her sleep (so sweet….she is probably dreaming about her mommy)
-feeding every 3 hrs during the day and can go about 4-4.5 hrs at night between feedings
-very happy, content baby
-only cries when hungry or getting diaper changed

my favorite is the 4th picture from the top where paul is kissing sophie, because that is the exact same face she'll be making in about 6 years when he tries to kiss her in front of her friends as he drops her off at school!!!
