Hello All! I have not written for quite some time. It’s really because I am either at work, running errands, cleaning the house or doing laundry. And of course taking care of my precious little Sophia. BJ is usually hogging the computer and internet anyway and I am so tired by the end of the day, but I digress.

The past few weeks have brought us a baby who can now roll over back to belly and belly to back (although she seems to prefer her side right now), preteething, holding and sucking of toes, and the progression of the ability to grasp at her toys. She is also trying to find her voice. Some days she will just scream and squeal and babble so much! She is such a loud and talkative baby! Gee, I wonder where she gets that from?! She has enjoyed sucking her fingers and playing with them for some time now and is getting more and more experienced at doing so. It seems she recognizes me, smiles and laughs at me above all else. I sure love it!

One other thing that has progressed over the past few weeks is her cuteness level. I can’t go anywhere without people smiling at her, wanting to hold her, or play with her, or at least commenting on how cute or beautiful she is. I also hear how much she looks like me and I smile even more because it makes me feel great. Granted I am no high school hottie anymore but—7 years older and 20lbs heavier and I still got it!! At church today I was leaving the bathroom from changing her diaper when I was attacked by 3 teenage girls wanting to hold her and cooing over her. I obliged them temporarily so I could at least go to the bathroom. Earlier I had been stopped by another Sister who said she had to see her because she heard from another sister that she “was the cutest baby ever”. She had to confirm it for herself and promptly did so. *Sigh* I think I am going to just have to get used to being stopped or distracted from my task at hand by those who wish to fawn over her. She will be four months old soon and even bigger and more different. I can hardly wait to see what the following month brings. I love my daughter.
