11 Weeks

Sophie turned 11 weeks old yesterday. As each week passes, I fall more and more in love with my little Sophie Bear. She has become my little buddy! She is such a good baby. She still sleeps through the night, eats very well, is content playing on the mat by herself (she even swings her hand at the hanging rattle and watches the lights on the music box now), and is smiling more and more every day. She had a friend over last night, and was actually starting to interact a little with her. At one point they were even holding hands. I'm bummed I wasn't able to get a picture of that. :( Next time!


Sophie's little dress is riding up there, huh? ;) Very grateful for the hand-me-downs from friends... this outfit was one of them!

I got a quick picture of Sophie in her car seat before our walk yesterday... I think she was about to start crying, but was holding it together for the camera. :)
Every time I look at this little girl, I'm reminded of how much I love her, how beautiful she is, and how blessed I am to have her. I don't take the fact that we have a healthy little girl of our own for granted.

Make sure you take time to notice the good in those around you and to be thankful for the special people in your life, family and friends. The next time your baby cries, or your teenager slams the door, or your spouse leaves their underwear on the bathroom floor... be thankful that you have a baby who can cry, and a teenager who comes home even if they do slam the door, and a spouse's underwear to pick up. I know I am...
