I feel like I don't update enough.
Perhaps because I'm busy with Sofia, or playing scrabble, or online shopping.
These days though I guess I am also tired. We haven't set a schedule yet, though it's about 1-2pm we usually finally get out of bed. Sofia sleeps about 3 hrs each time, and my body has come to adjust to this schedule as well. Even the milk has adjusted to this schedule, it's amazing how the sync is... the human body is amazing. But slowly I know I need to start setting a schedule, so that Sofia can learn day from night and when to sleep and when to play. She's grow so much in the past 7+ weeks, not even 2 months! I don't know how tall she is, but she seems really tall for being so little and also quite heavy! though I guess it's the nutrients she's been getting in mommy's milk. :)
She can totally focus her eyes now and follow an object or person, it's wonderful... she's been able to do so since last week actually= week 6.
This week (week 7) she is also smiling much more, and talking, or coo-ing, if you will. It is so adorable. I can't wait till she learns more. I need to start to teach her colors and read to her, but unfortunately her attention span isn't very good yet. In the morning (well, when we get out of bed), i wash her face, so I'm slowly teaching her parts of her face, like "nose, mouth, chin, cheeks, ears, eyes," etc. And we also look in the mirror so she can see herself too. She is such a bundle of joy, it's wonderful. And she's just so precious when she sleeps. :)
Tonight though was the first night M and I have been out since Avatar when mom was here... M's mom and Mila watched Sofia... we went to Diana and Paul's wedding. I don't think it went too well but I think it might have been because she didn't eat enough it seems. B/c I left 3 bottles of milk but only 1 1/2 were done... But she was definitely tired so I got back around midnight and nursed her and she fell asleep 15 minutes later. She's still sleeping now, but probably will wake up shortly. Daddy is still out partying though... I don't expect him home till about 3:30 perhaps? Hopefully not later than 4... o_O
Anyhow, I've noticed Sofia has started to cry more when she's tired, whereas before she would fall asleep at the nipple. I suppose she still does, but less. Before she'd cry b/c her diaper was soiled, or hungry, or gas. But add "sleepy" to that list. It's interesting. I am still trying to learn the cries as well... I'm trying and I hope i'm doing okay though b/c sometimes I don't know what it is... and I feel bad. But hopefully I will learn as the time goes on... i mean, i'd better!
Oh! and her eyelashes are so cute. :)
Also she loves her baby bjorn. Falls asleep when we go for walks in the park... I try to take her as often as possible, dressed in her bear suit, it's super cute, though I can't walk much longer than an hour since my back starts to hurt... but it's wonderful.
I do need to focus more on her though, esp when I nurse, I feel sometimes I'm busy with bberry or computer, which isn't fair to her, so I should start to spend more time in concentrating on her too... my bad habit that I need to fix, for sofia.
We love you little girl.. daddy is home now too, so it's nice, though he feels you don't recognize him! I'm sure you'll spend more time with him and remember. :)
love mommy and daddy.
ps: i'm going to update more too... I should. at least twice a week to record how you're doing and what you're learning!
xxxxxxxxoooooooo
