Sophie =)

Sophie is now 2 months old =)  We love having her in our family and the kids still adore her.  she has been a pretty good baby so far...except when I eat chocolate....it gives her a belly ache =( A few weeks ago we had a little scare with RSV but luckily she is a strong little girl and it hardly phased her. She just got a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough, but nothing major, basically a very minor cold.  When I heard she had RSV I was prepared for her to end up in the hospital because she is so young, but she's my strong girl =)  She is growing like a little weed.  She loves to smile, especially in the mornings.  She loved to hang out with Jason while i get my exercise in (trying to shed the baby weight!) and she gives her best smiles to him.  I have a feeling she is going to be a daddy's girl. We are truly blessed in our family.  
 She is already getting her own personality going...which is spoiled!  She loves to be held and loves to look around and watch what is going on.  She is starting to be a daddy's girl too.  She saves her biggest smiles for him. =) They haven't held as much as they want because they keeping getting little colds, nothing big, pretty much just a runny nose, but I don't want to take chances. We are all adjusting to how much extra time it takes to get ready with a newborn.  It used to be I knew exactly how much time it would take us to get ready to go somewhere (okay, it was mainly how much time for me to shower and get ready) and now I have to add in feeding the baby, getting her ready, holding her because she doesn't want to be put down....so I feel like I an constantly running late.  The story of a mom, right?  But after having her it really feels like our family is complete, that there had been something needed, and we found it =)  We have all been going a bit stir crazy being cooped up since there really isn't much we can go and do with a newborn.  I can't wait until it warms up and we can walk to the park again.  Poor Ian is getting sick of hanging out with just mom.  I'm not very much fun.
I have a super awesome friend, Dallas, who takes amazing pictures.  She did a photo shoot with Sophie and we got these super cute pictures! Now to just decide which ones to hang up.....















The first Sunday in February we had Sophie's baby blessing.  Jason Gave her the sweetest blessing =)    The dress she wore was actually the same one Brenna was blessed in.  My aunt Helen made it.  It was a nice day spent with family.....because right after the blessing we headed to my dad's and watched the superbowl and pigged out on junk.  Unfortunately the 49ers lost by 3 points =(  but I was just happy to seem them there!



This is one of the few pictures of me with Sophie....since I am always taking the pictures.  Yes, I know, she doesn't look like me....I guess Jason will never have to take a paternity test since all of them look like him. =)

I vote you hang up the "Love" picture with her cute little baby feet and the close up of her sleeping on the yellow fabric and the big white bow in her hair. I liked the color version of that pose the best. :)

What a fun little family. I'm glad everyone is well and you are having fun!
