4 months

technically sophia turned 4 months old on christmas day, so i'm a bit late, but tonight when i was playing with her, i realized how i really needed to get these things down about her before i forget.

so even though we have not fully unpacked from our trip, and there are still christmas decorations up. although i'm tired and should be doing laundry, i'm going to type out just some of the things that i absolutely adore about sophia.

-she loves her tongue. she's sticks it out, flops it back and forth wiggles it around. she doesn't have a short stubby hendrix tongue, it reaches to her chin! this is different than the other two, so it usually catches me off guard when she starts playing with it.
-she has assumed a new position while nursing. she loves to flop one leg back and let it hang between mine. i pull it back to her other leg and she flops it back. and so it went until i realized she prefers it that way.
-she sucks her thumb. i know i will regret it. i know it would be easier with a pacifier. i know the orthodontist bills will be higher. but she puts herself to sleep without a peep...and it just looks so darn cute!
-she looks into your soul when she looks in your eyes. she is living up to her name, wisdom. if you could meet her, she would stare into your eyes first off. size you up, stare a little longer to let you know she 'knows'. and then move on. it's uncanny really.
-she can be cheered up at any moment by some beat-boxin'. that's right, a little boom-boom-chick and she's a happy girl.

that's our louie-soph - our soph-a-loaf at 4 months.

I forgot you kept a blog but it showed up this morning when I turned on the computer - must have been in the history! I guess we are in the same boat with unpacking! Welcome back to Louisville.
