Friday with Sofia

Hi Auntie Shelley. Don't I look cute? It almost fits me now. The top makes me look like a football player and the pants have to be pulled way up, but I am cute in it!

Here I am playing in my new play gym mommy bought for me today. I don't quite know what to do when I am in there so I just sort of look around and then cry. Sometimes I accidentally hit something and it sort of scares me. Where does that noise come from?

I am trying really hard to look in the mirror mommy is holding up for me. It takes a lot of concentration.

Who is that baby in the mirror?

Thank You, Grandma. The box you sent came the other day. I like my new bunny blanket and bunny you sent. Elmo smells so he has to go in the wash before I can have him.

6 Weeks Today

The Health Visitor weighed Sofia this morning and she weighed in at a whopping 9lb 13 oz! That is two pounds in 3 weeks.

Sofia went to sleep at 12 last night (typical time) and slept until 3:30. Wow, three and a half hours. We were up from 3:30 to 5:30 because she kept spitting up everything she ate. I think she finally gave up and went to sleep. At 7:10 she was awake and ready to eat again which worked out ok for time since we dropped tom off at the airport this morning. I managed to get her to nap with me for about an hour before I got up to get ready for the health visitor. I think I will be napping this afternoon!

Sofia's First Tears

Last night Tom changed Sofia's nappy which upset her greatly, as per normal. He brought her back to me so she could eat before trying to get her to sleep for the night. I added to her woes when I gave her some Infacol (Simeticone for wind) which makes her yell very strangely because she won't close her mouth or swallow. When trying to calm her yelling I realised that she had actual tears. Poor thing! This was the first time we have ever seen actual tears! I had to make note of this.

I have been successful in the past couple of days in making her smile. If I stick out my tongue and give her a great big raspberry and a big smile and laugh her eyes will get really big and she will give me a great big smile. It would melt your heart! I will have to attempt a video of this.

Tom is off to The Netherlands on Thursday. Sofia and I are taking him to the airport in the morning so we can use his car while he is gone. We will pick him up on Saturday morning.

Sofia's Health Visitor comes for a visit at lunchtime on Thursday to weigh her. They do this at home so the doctor doesn't have to do it next week when we go in for our 6-7 week check at the office. She has to be over 9 pounds!

Yay for Flickr!

I emailed Yahoo to try to sort out my Flickr account since I haven't been able to log in for a few days. They were less than helpful. Yesterday I emailed Flickr and pleaded my case. Today I received an email sorting out the Flickr account. There shouldn't be any more issues. I can get back to labelling and posting again. yay

Tummy Time and Taking a Break

I try to give Sofia some tummy time every day. She is really strong and holds her head up amazingly well for being just over five weeks old. Her head used to slump when in her carrier and in her car seat and that rarely happens anymore. She loves her paci/dummy and I don't know what we would do without them! She is doing so much more exploring with her eyes and hands now. She spends much more time looking around and listening rather than just sleeping. She is growing so fast! Many of her newborn outfits don't fit anymore, but her 0-3 clothes are still too big. I call her Mrs. Long Legs.
