3 Months Old

Our sweet Sophia turned three months old on Friday (or 13 weeks). We are so in love with this little girl...she brings such joy to our family! She's really alert now and takes in everything around her. The bouncy seat and a few hanging toys keep her occupied for ages if she's fed and changed. Thankfully, she is sleeping really well at night and starting to nap at regular times during the day.



She smiles all the time and coos and chats to herself a lot now and is almost giggling when we tickle her. She adores being sung to and seems to love music whenever we have it on. She really enjoys when Jack talks to her or plays near her and her big brother loves his "Soophie"!



Eating is still a chore for her and since she's not gaining like she should be, we have been going in for weight checks every two weeks. At 12 weeks old she only weighed 9.1 lbs so we're scheduled again for this Friday to see if she's made any progress. However, she had a cold last week and didn't eat much so I'm not getting my hopes up for a huge jump on the scale. We'll see what the doc says and I am hoping for some advice on how to up her calories. And yes, she's still in newborn clothes, although we are slowly working our way into the 0-3 month stuff. She certainly has gotten plenty of wear out of those little bitty things!



Otherwise she seems to be a healthy and very happy little girl, praise the Lord. We are so incredibly blessed to have this child in our lives. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to believe she is ours and we get to keep her :)
