Of course, I did another photo shoot on the glider chair because I love to see the changes month to month.
Big brother is still in jammies.
Sophie leaned in for a "kiss"... or to try to eat his face, but whatever.
Right back at ya, babe!
We practiced sitting some more. Don't get excited - this was only for a couple seconds... hence the fuzzy picture. :)
We'll keep the Boppy around awhile longer. It makes for a nice, cushy, landing pad.
Sophie had a follow up appointment with the pediatrician on Thursday. Craig took her again and all is well. She weighed 15#9oz! So she had a little growth spurt in the last 3 weeks, up almost a pound and a half from her 4 month well check. In the last few weeks, she has really increased her ability to move around. Though she's not crawling yet, she rolls and scoots all over the floor in an effort to reach various toys when I put her down to play. She's also recently regressed a little bit with sleep habits, needing a little more help getting to sleep than she used to and waking occasionally and not being able to soothe herself back to sleep. I'm chalking it up to learning a new skill and/or possibly teething? (Though I haven't felt any teeth "on the brink" yet when I wipe her gums.) Hope that passes quickly!
On Friday night, we went out to see the Comets defeat the Wildcats on the football field. It is almost ridiculous how much better Genoa is than the competition this year! Will loved cheering for Genoa's quarterback "Moose" and watching the game with daddy & Big Papa (Riedeman).
On Saturday, Sophie and I went to check out the street fair in town. It was just okay. Not much real exciting. Meanwhile, Craig took Will over to the farm to see the animals again and the progress on Kelly & Steve's new house. I met them over there and got the tour. The house is just enormous!!! Something like 5500 square feet! Wow!
In the afternoon, I attended Craig's cousin's outdoor wedding while Craig stayed home with the kids. Then in the evening, Will went to a fish fry at our babysitters house down the street while Craig, Sophie & I attended the wedding reception. Will had a great time eating "fishy" and we had a little more relaxed evening with just our baby girl. The first slow dance that they invited everyone to the dance floor happened to be our wedding song (The Way You Look Tonight) so, with Sophie asleep on my shoulder, the 3 of us shared a dance. It brought back memories of Will's first wedding (at 3 weeks old) when all the mothers and sons were asked to join the groom and his mother on the dance floor for a special dance. I love to dance with my sleeping babes. Later that evening we came home to Will sound asleep in his bed and put Sophie down too before having friends over for our monthly UFC night. Busy day!
Here's the kiddos as we were getting ready to leave that evening. Sophie's in her party dress and Will's wearing... wait for it... his Ohio State jersey... again. (Shocker - Craig dressed him.)
And here's the three of us at the wedding:
Today, Craig and I took turns napping to catch up on sleep and then we had another dinner guest in the evening. (I love having dinner guests on weekends.) Craig's cousin Megan is in town from Prague for a few months so she came over to visit. We had big salads with chicken and white beans for dinner. Bruschetta to go with, and apple crisp for dessert. Megan taught Will to say hello and goodnight in Czech.
