Playing catch up...

This poor blog. I really thought I would update weekly but things have been so hectic, I'm lucky to post once a month.

Sophia is almost 4 months old! I can't believe it! She is starting to develop a personality now and loves to be naked :) She loves to "stand" and grab my hair and try to eat it. If you give her anything, it instantly goes into her mouth. She loves to "talk" and smile at anyone and everyone. This is a very fun stage! She gives us some very sweet giggles every once in a while.

Here is a video we took of Sophia attempting to sit up on her own. She's working on it :)

Here's some random photos. There are so many more!

1st Family Photos!

We just got back our teasers from Cameron Braun and we couldn't be happier :) Poor Jordan, before we even got our pictures back from our first session I had already scheduled a mini-session for Christmas pictures. Hee-Hee. We're having those done on Saturday! Here's what we got so far, there's more to come.

New pictures!

Gosh, Sophia is getting so big...it's exciting yet so sad at the same time :( Here are some recent photos!

Some newer photos...

I haven't had time to update in a couple weeks, so I just wanted to make a quick post of some recent photos of Miss Sophia. She's 11 weeks old today! Enjoy!

We think Sophia secretly plays with light sockets...

because nothing else could explain this hair!

Ghosts & Pumpkins...I love fall

I always dread the coming of fall because I know what follows it...but then I'm reminded how beautiful the fall can be too! We've had great weather the last couple of days and the trees are gorgeous. I find myself taking the long way home from work just so I can look at all of the pretty trees.

I made Sophia's halloween costume and I think it turned out pretty good for my first try! She is going to be a little ghost :) It's hard to tell in these pictures but she has a ghost face on her shirt.

We also did some pumpkin carving the other day. I didn't take a picture of my pumpkin because I'm seriously embarassed...it's pretty pathetic looking! Jordan's turned out good though :)

I *think* Sophia is officially sleeping through the night

As I say this, I'm contemplating running all over the house and knocking on every piece of wood that I can find! We have started a new bed time routine with Sophia that is basically a bath at 9pm (she LOVES baths, especially having her hair washed), lotioned up, load up the Desitin, fresh diaper, jammies, put her in her SwaddleMe (these are seriously a life saver, worth every penny), bottle and if she isn't already asleep by the time she finishes her bottle then we rock for a few minutes and she is totally out. So far the last couple nights she has fallen asleep at about 9:30 and sleeps until 5 or 5:30 for a bottle but then goes right back down to sleep until about 7 or 8 - amazing!

I love Etsy...

I really do! I could seriously spend an entire day looking at all of the cool stuff on there. It's starting to get cold so I wanted to get Sophia a car seat cover to help keep the wind off of her. I couldn't find any that matched her car seat, so I took a look on Etsy and of course I found one to match! I just bought this car seat cover from Etsy seller "hblackberry". Another cool thing about it is that the flower is detachable and can be put on headbands, hats, etc. Love it!

Sophia showing off her Baby Legs & flower headband!

I could be in some trouble because I've developed a really bad obsession with Baby Legs and headbands! LOVE them! Here are a few pictures of miss Sophia while I was getting her dressed on Saturday:
