60 Days!

Tomorrow is 1/23... Sofia will be 2 months old! Tomorrow is also Uncle Ronald/Auntie Jacinth's wedding... 

Anyhow, this past week has been quite fun.  Sofia is coo-ing and talking more, it's beyond adorable and makes my heart melt.  She is so alert and so curious... her eyes are so bright and open and wide awake- though unfortunately at night! For the past three nights she's finally slept 6 hrs! however her bedtime seems to be 3am - 9am... I think it's probably because she sleeps too much during the day, so I probably need to wake her up during the day.  But because i'm trying to do some work as well, that doesn't always happen.  

She's eating quite a bit still, though today less, since she's been sleeping practically ALL day. Perhaps she's going through another grown spurt??? it's week #8... We'll go to the dr on Monday, that should be interesting to see exactly how much she weighs, her length as well. Grandpa Wong will go with us too, since he knows the doctor. Unfortunately though, it's 4 shots that she needs, so it won't be a fun day for her... but who knows, she does do well at the dr's office, so she might just be a tough cookie and be okay. :) (which i think actually she will be). 

Earlier this week- the 19th, we went to cousin Jiselle's 100 day celebration.  She's 14lbs already! Her birthday is 10/12, so she's a bit over a month older than Sofia... but she's chubby! Sofia looks much cuter... but then again I'm biased. lol.  Cousin Jayden is almost 2, he's growing up quite a bit... and so fun.  So much expression and curiousity and just innocence.. it's adorable.  talks a lot too- all in english! I'm sure Sofia will be more fun as she starts to talk, walk, even crawl, though we have a LOT of baby-proofing the house as well. when that happens. 

She is such a bundle of Joy.  I just smile when I see her, soooo precious. 
lots of love, love love hugs and kisses, 
love mommy

8 weeks!

Sofia is 8 weeks old today. The 8 wks have passed and we're still trying to get into a groove... She hasn't much of a schedule just yet but bathing at night does help. I suppose I am the one who needs to dictate so that's my bad, bc I'm not the greatest w/schedules... I should try better.

Perhaps its the sleeping late... So getting out of bed at 2 is not the most effective way to spend the day... Though I do get everything done.

Anyhow, things are definitely changing... Mostly dealing w/sync. So it looks like anf is coming to a close, and we're going to be laying off a lot of ppl... Basically everyone except for 2. Its going to be tough and I'm not sure how it will turn out, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I hope for the best, and need to keep thinking positive! So we will be left w/all saints, and that's really it. A bit scary... To have all the eggs in one basket again.

In addition to that, we are now starting "sofia michael & friends" which is a collaborative effort w/all our friends and their children. Its definitely going to be a lot, a LOT of work dealing w/6 diff designers (kin, dan, sally, james, betty, & craig) and about 30-60 pieces, along with sofia's line... I need to start planning now! Crazy but I certainly hope it works out. It will. Its such a wonderful idea... I need to buy a sketchbook.

Anyhow Sofia is a joy. She's been crying more when she's tired (which is often) vs falling asleep eating. In fact she doesnt even want the nipple sometimes when she's tired! Before she'd take it whenever. She is becoming more and more alert and starting to follow voices. She definitely knows mommy... Daddy, she is getting used to- I think last week when he was gone, she may have missed him a bit. But she is an angel still. Children are here to show us what's important, to teach us... I just hope sofia is happy and healthy. (She should be pretty healthy the amount of time she eats and by her chubby cheeks and rolls on her legs!) But what a joy. :). I couldn't be happier staring at her when she sleeps, seeing how peaceful she is. So beautiful, a sleeping baby.

This wkend, the 23rd is ronald's wedding. Unfortunately sofia can't go, so I need to try to figure out what to do... It will be tough. Perhaps I go later on in the evening... Last week was paul/diana's wedding, poor sofia got diaper rash probably from mila wiping too hard. Its almost gone, but sofia's a trooper. Tough cookie. *even her first booboo- when I was cutting her toenail and accidentally clipped her big toe, bleeding yes. But she only cried for a few seconds and then stopped! She bled longer than she cried. :p. But its good to know her blood clots ok. :) healthy!

Such a joy, such a wonder... I am still amazed, that we brought this little girl into the world. So precious.

Love mommy
