Two Weeks Old!

Wow! Half a month has gone by fast! Our little Sophie is really growing. We went to her "one week" check up when she was 9 days old and she had regained her birth weight (babies lose some weight in those first few days) and then some... 9# exactly on April 29th. So we were given the go ahead to let her sleep as long as she wants at night and currently she does 4-5 hour stretches between feedings overnight. So I feed her about 9:30pm and then get up with her between 1:30 - 2:30 and again between 5:30 - 6:30. Not bad!! That's much better than Will did at this age.

Sophie has lots of quiet alert time during the day and we love to see her pretty, little eyes. She has such a strong neck too! She often holds her head up off your shoulder when she's burping and also smiles a lot after she eats.

Will still pouts about sharing my attention, but has become much more intrigued by "Baby Sophie" and talks to her or asks for her often. He's even briefly "held" her and has given her hugs and kisses.


1 week old today!


Will gets a lot of special time with dad.

All dressed up for her first big outing. Sophie yawned her way through dinner at a nice restaurant for Great Grandpa King's birthday.


Uncle Steve met Sophie for the first time at dinner.


Visit to the Riedeman farm and feeding cows with Aunt Kelly. Will goes on and on and on about the animals on the farm... and then as soon as he's near them, he's ready to leave and clinging to you for dear life. As soon as they walked up to the cows in this picture, Will said "bye bye cows!" :)
