Sophia is 3 Months Old!

Look at our happy girl standing up! She's enjoyed standing in our laps for awhile now, but tonight she just kept on standing and didn't want to sit. She supports herself so well and I bet it won't be long before she's able to sit up on her own. Sophie already loves her Bumbo chair too.






What an expression!


And finally... a rest!


Also, check out our chunky monkey in the bath tub. She's not missing any meals, that's for sure!


In the last week or so she's discovered (focused on) her right arm/hand in a fist. She's been flexing it and trying to have some more controlled movements with that arm - it looks like she's saying "who wants to arm wrestle?" :) But to focus in on it with her eyes is a big deal because it helps her realize that her arm and hand are a part of her body and she can control their motions. One day last week I got her to hold onto a plush rattle for almost a minute. Again, a behavior that teaches her she can control her body and manipulate objects. Pretty soon, she'll be grabbing everything and sticking it in her mouth. She already likes to try to stick her whole fist in her mouth. :)

She's also doing very well at the babysitters while I'm at work. She takes three bottles per day there and has no trouble transitioning back and forth from nursing to bottle. Now, I'm just working on tweaking her bedtime routine... I want another good sleeper like Will!
