Tummy Time

Sophie's gaining a lot of head control these days and can even hold her head up during tummy time. It's exciting to see how fast she develops!

Random Sophie close-up

In case you thought she was an angel

This is what Sophie looks like when she's hungry. Whether she's just a mite peckish or really quite hungry, she screams as if we're torturing her. Lest you think I was neglecting her while I snapped this shot, know that I was heating up her bottle, a process that takes several minutes. Several extremely long minutes if you have a screaming baby on your hands!

We left the fitness class early today...

Becoming a mother changes your life immensely. I knew this going in, but still find it humourous when I find myself doing seemingly bizarre things as a matter of course. For example, after my "Mom & Baby" fitness class today, I found myself emailing the instructor to apologize for the mess Sophie had left behind. We'd had a diaper blowout that penetrated Sophie's clothing and got onto a pillow and bouncy chair. Prior to this, I'd never written an email stating, "I'm sorry to have left feces in your business establishment." Life as a mom, eh?

Fists of Fury

This picture shows just how intense Sophie is about eating. As soon as she gets a bottle into her mouth, she clenches her tiny fists across her chest and stays that way throughout the feed. It seems to be her way of saying, "Don't you dare take that bottle away!"

Sophie's favourite toy

Sophie is really starting to focus more lately and she gets particularly excited when you dangle her colourful toy above her head. Her arms and legs flail about frantically as she expresses her delight in her own unique way. Endless fun!

Sleeping like a baby

This is how relaxed Sophie gets when she's in a deep sleep. Her arms go limp like a wet noodle and she'll keep sleeping no matter how many ambulances and buses pass on our busy street. I love it when she's like this, but I also know that I'll be paying for this peaceful morning sometime later in the day. Wish me luck later on!
