One Month Old

We are having so much fun this summer hanging out with our Sweet Sophie Girl. At the beginning of last week, our daughter turned one month old. Time is FLYING by way too quickly! We started Sophie on a flexible schedule as soon as she was born and she eats every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. She is such a good little eater and is growing like a weed. It has been fun admiring her pretty little eyes since she has been keeping those open more and more these days. Her waketime usually lasts about 1 hr. to 1.5hrs and during that time she loves looking around and practicing keeping her head up. It's amazing how strong she is!!! Since we both are home with her, she usually naps in our arms but occasionally we put her down and she does a great job. At night, she can sleep for at least one 4 hour period. Since I am nursing her, Sophie and I are usually the only ones that get up for her nighttime feedings but Josh has been a BIG help by taking on some of her feedings to let me get some rest. One of Sophie's favorite things to do is take a bath and get head massages. We just know that she would love the onsens in Japan because she is the most relaxed when she is soaking in her tub. Last but not least, Sophie cracked her first REAL smile at her daddy! She makes the most adorable facial expressions but there is nothing like her smile that just melts our hearts!
