i spy... little teeth!

Yes! Last night, 3/12 (yes, i know i haven't posted for almost 10 days)-- but sofia grabbed my finger and put it in her mouth. She's lately been putting her fingers in her mouth a lot, so it didn't quite surprise me, but then i felt something... yes- little teeth coming thru her gums! And sure enough, i saw them as well, little white dots.  awwww, my little girl is growing up... and so fast! she's not even 4 months old yet... but I guess she is eager to eat! as everytime i'm eating dinner with daddy, she's always curiously watching what we're putting into our mouths.  :)  go figure. "loves to eat", number xx on "the list". :)

this past week actually daddy has been in shanghai... it's been a quiet month- since daddy was in munich for a week earlier this month and now this past week in shanghai! but it's been nice, to be able to spend the time with sofia and get her on the schedule at night w/o interruptions and such.  She's been such a good girl. Still sleeping about 15-16 hrs a day, which is probably why she's been growing so much as well! I think she's about 65cm now and she must be closer to 20lbs as well.  She is getting so tall, a lot of her footed onesies don't fit, so i'm slowly putting them away... even the footed pants, i still like to use them since they keep her feet warm, but her feet are already longer than the foot allowed per the pant.  She doesn't complain though. she's a good girl.  Since the weather has been cooler as well, i've started to use the fuzzi bunz again, however not overnight, as i've noticed they have some MAJOR leakage problems (i tried 2xs this week just to see...)... so we're still in disposables during the night but during the day i'll use the fuzzi bunz.  When it gets hotter though, we'll probably shy away from them again, just b/c they are fleece and not very friendly for the weather, esp since she sweats a lot.

Earlier in the week- on Sunday actually, 3/7 was Baby Leeton's 100 day celebration.  I took Sofia and Uncle Aaron came with us. Daddy didn't want to go b/c he was too tired (i think he was just being anti social).  Anyhow, it was cute to see how big you are compared to other babies, and how healthy and strong you are! you are certainly a cutie.  You were eating your fingers that night... now i know why- you're probably gumming them as your teeth are coming out! But you are so adorable sofia... such a little girl, so cute to play with.

When the weather is warm out, I've been taking you for walks. We went today, and also to the grocery store. Though for some reason, by the time we get to the grocery, you're asleep.  Mommy's favorite is grocery shopping but perhaps it's boring to you right now. :p  We've been taking the stroller out as well.  On thursday we had lunch with cousin Jessie and her parents, and you were a good girl-- not crying at all and very alert and attentive, letting everyone hold you. :)  (uncle jackson and aunty shirley said you are so good because you don't cry when strangers hold you! whereas their little granddaughter jiselle cries for mom/helper) i'm so proud of you!!

Daddy will be coming home tomorrow, with grandma, and then grandma and grandpa tsang are coming on monday!! mommy is really excited because they can see how much you've grown in the few months since they last saw you in december... i'm excited for grandma to play with you as well. she (and you) will have so much fun together!! i'll be really happy. :)

anyhow, we miss daddy lots, but will see him soon... you've been such a good girl sofia. mommy knows that you will always be a good girl, mommy's little helper (and best friend!) and daddy's little girl.
love mommy
