Sophia--you are 4 weeks old!


Sophia, at 4 weeks you have grown in many ways:

  • You have definitely figured out when you are being held and how to make your preference know when you are not.
  • You have mastered the art of voluminous spit up after mom eats chocolate (I had to test if a few times).
  • You are beginning to figure out how to release your post-feeding burp in less than 15 minutes, and, without spitting up.
  • You have developed the ability to heal from the nastiest diaper rash your mom has seen on an infant. Apparently commercial baby wipes don't agree with your skin at this age.
  • You have mastered good eating and good growth--you went from 7 lbs 3 oz at birth to over 9 lbs in 3 weeks.
  • You have succumbed to Pachelbel's Canon in D--it puts you out every time. (This worked like a charm on Camille as an infant.)
  • You have figured out how to stay awake for 90 minutes at one time.
  • You occasionally sleep for 4+ hours at night.
  • You have stolen all of our hearts! The most common phrase in our house these days is "I want to be by Sophia!!!"

Happy 4 weeks, Sophia!

soo sweet :) I love that picture of her - so beautiful! you know, asher had that same thing with diaper rash..it seemed like the wipes were covered in acid to his skin :( glad she's over it...the only thing that ever worked was a layer of neosporin covered by a ridiculously thick layer of desitin..and even that took days to clear it up sometimes..your little post actually made me excited for another one of my own:)
