Oh Sophie....

You crack us up!

Here are some funny things that Sophie has said recently.

After Noah's newborn picture session, Sophie and Auntie Steph were looking at our wedding albums.  Steph was telling Sophie how her mommy and daddy got married.  So Sophie ran in the living room and told us that we were married.  Well, now that she has decided that it is a good thing that we are married we are allowed to give hugs and kisses to each other because before we were not allowed.  She  didn't like it at all and would cry if Josh touched me.  Fast forward a couple weeks... We are walking around Costco (Sophie's favorite place) and Josh asks Sophie if he can give me a kiss.  She smiles really big and says, "Yes, marrrrrrrrrrrried!"  After Josh gives me a smooch he asks if he can give her a kiss.  She replies with, "Yes, I married too!"

A while back I decided to make some cupcakes with Sophie.  Before Sophie took her first bite she said, "Daddy, I have cupcakes.  It's my birthday!  Sing to me!"  So Josh sang to her and right after with huge smile on her face she asks, "WHERE ARE MY PRESENTS!?!"

Sophie came with me to Target one evening to buy a present for a baby shower that I was going to.  On the way there I was explaining to my inquisitive daughter why I was buying a gift for someone with a baby in their belly.  Here is how our condo went...
Sophie:  I have a baby in my belly, too!
Me:  You have to be married first then you can have a baby.
Sophie: I married.
Me:  Who are you married to?
Sophie:  Long Pause.... DADDY!

Just for fun I asked Sophie a few questions about what she likes...

What is your favorite color?  Orange
What is your favorite food?  Peanut Butter and Jelly
What do you want to be when you grow up?  A giraffe... ROAR!!!
Where do you want to work?  At schoooooool (in a singing voice)
What are you going to do there?  Push buttons on the computer
What is your favorite toy?  LUCY
Who is your best friend?  without hesitation she answered... AIDEN!!!!
What is your favorite T.V. show?  Word World

Our little two year old is a smarty pants and full of things to say!  We love everyday with this little love and are so proud of the big girl she is becoming!

Noah - One Month

- On Monday, June 25th, you turned one month old!
- During the day you nurse pretty much every 3 hours.  Sometimes it is every 2 hours.
- At night you are still on a 2-3 hour schedule. You usually take about an hour to nurse at night because you are so sleepy.
- You love being swaddled.
- You sleep in the pack-n-play beside our bed. 
- You are a noisy little sleeper.  I was concerned about it but the doctor said it is called periodic respiration and its completely normal.- Your tummy started bothering you around 3 weeks.  You would get angry toots and they would wake you up from your sleep.  At four weeks we put you on Zantac for your reflux.  
- Sophie is so in love with you!  She has cute little nicknames for you like bumble bee, honey-bunny, buddy, and bubba.  
- You are not  a big fan of pacis like your sister.  We gave you one from the hospital and you prefer it over the ones we bought you.
- Newborn clothes still fit perfectly and your 0-3 month clothes are a little big but you still wear them.

- You weigh 8 lbs and 5oz and are 21in long.
- You are the cutest little boy and we love you so much!

Sophie LOVES Noah

Sophie just adores her little brother.  From the moment she laid eyes on him she was completely obsessed.  He is the first thing she asks about in the morning and always gives him kisses before bed.   She will say, "Where'd Noah go?" or  "What Noah doing?"  or "That's my Noah!"

It is super sweet watching these two together!  I hope she always loves him this much!

Oh Mimi...

How we love you!

While we stayed in the hospital Josh's mom took care of our Sophie girl.  She also came over for a whole week to help out while Josh had to go to work.  Since my dr. told me to stay in bed for about a week it was great to have her with us.  She was so sweet and helpful.

Sophie was in heaven because she had her Mimi all to herself.  She loved stealing her away to her room so they could play for hours together.

Noah loves the tub!

Flashback....

Sophie was a big fan of baths too!

Noah - One Week Old

Noah is the perfect little baby.  He hardly fusses and when he does it is because he wants to eat or needs to be changed.  He is nursing on demand which is about every 2-3 hours.   He sleeps well during naps and throughout the night.  Life with Noah is simply sweet.  We are having a blast as a family of four.
