My dear sweet Sophia you are so big and beautiful! You are ticklish in the cutest spots, like your ribs and feets. Speaking of your feet, you finally found them. You can entertain yourself for so long with your perfect toes. Your about 14lbs, you still have blue eyes and red hair. To day you had a tiny bit of bed head, with the little bit of hair that you have! It was so cute!
Since last month: I make you laugh so much! I am graduating in 5 weeks and then we will have so much time to play! Your getting so much bigger and older. I think your trying to talk. You say (or repeat back) "hi" it is pretty wonderful!
You play with your toys now, I bought some new things for you to play with and you actually interact with them now! It has been such a joy watching you play and grow and learn!
You are 14 weeks new, so big and so small all at the same time. I can not get over how brilliant you are! Your Grandma Bradley bout you a new chair and it is perfect for you. It is meant for babies your size to sit up in so you can learn to sit. Luckily for us these things exist becuase you've been wanting to sit up since you were born! I swear child your growing up too fast.
Oh Sophia, even when you make me nuts, deprive me of sleep and puke on me, I miss you every second your away from me. Since the last time I wrote to you, I've taken you to the zoo two more times. Friday's are our day that we spend together. We just snuggle all day. Usually you want to eat all day. Sometimes you nap, but mostly I just hold you! I miss you terribly when I got to school but I only have 2 months and 7 days left until summer and we can just play all day! I can't wait to start feeding you real food and taking you to swimming lessons. We are going to have such an amazing summer together!
Lets see, your newest developments: your eyes are sill blue, your hair is still red, you might be getting some teeth in, you hold onto things now: cloths, toys, hair, your dolly; you can roll over from your back to your bell, you smile all day and have laughed for your dad and desi! I have not heard it yet but I'll be patient. You sleep in my bed less and less, you love to sleep in your own room! You can follow us with your eyes (sorry I am so scattered, think of all these pages as if they were just a bunch of thoughts scribbled down).
I wish I could tell you how big you are, in two weeks I am taking you in for a check up, I will update you on your height and weight then.
How has the time flown! I feel like I just brought you home yesterday. You are 10 and 1/2 weeks old. I am afraid you are almost considered a baby, in 2 weeks you are no longer a newborn.
You sleep in your own room now from 6pm-12am and boy do I miss you! I bring you into my bed still but it is not the same. Things are so different now, I had to go back to school. I have to leave you Monday and Wednesday from 7:30am to 4:30pm and Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30pm to 7:30pm. On those nights your Grandma's put you to bed and it breaks my heart. I miss you so much when I am gone but I know in the long run it is what is best for all of us! When I am home with you, I am home! We play together all day, I almost never put you down (you rarely let me eat). But I love every minute of it. Last week I took you to the zoo for the first time. I took you to see the elephants and gorillas. We also went on the African Safari tram. You should have seen your eyes; Wide Open! You really are a stunningly beautiful baby. You still have reddish hair and 1 and 1/2 blue eyes. The other half of that eye is brown.
You are so funny! You smile so much. But it is decieving. You smile so big and so amazing with your whole face then only seconds later you scream as if I pinched you! you haven't really laughed yet although you have done some half laughs for your daddy. You always have been a daddy's girl, ever since the very begining.
Your favorite part of the day is bath time! You love the warm water. You love your auntie Desi almost as much as your daddy! She babysits you on Wednesdays while I am in school. You don't play with any of your toys yet but you love music.
Well my darling baby I am toast for the night. I love you and I promise to update soon.
XOXO
Your Mommy!
PS Yesterday was valentines day and your daddy bought me the most beautiful necklace with your birthstone (blue) with diamonds. I can't wait to give it to you when your old enough. Untill then I'll wear it everyday so I can always feel close to you when I am not with you! Good night my little lion girl I can't wait to hold you in 2 more hours.
