I haven’t shared any photos of Sophie recently, so I thought I’d end the week with a little update on my sweet little girl. She’s 2.5 months now (11 weeks to be exact), smiling up a storm, and interested in everything and everyone. She had a blast meeting new friends and family members over Thanksgiving weekend! I also hinted on twitter earlier this week that we’ve encountered some sleeping issues, so I’m one tired mama these days! Sophie is at the stage where she really wants to be awake for longer stretches but just can’t quite handle it, so we’re trying to find the right balance between awake time and nap time during the day so that we both minimize her meltdowns and can hopefully get her to sleep for longer stretches at night. I think I might do cartwheels the first night we get 6 or more hours out of her! Seriously. Anyway, this weekend we’re hoping to check out Holiday Heap in Baltimore and maybe even visit the National Aquarium (I’ve never been!). But in the meantime…

OMG – the one of her smiling – that chin! So teeny! She’s beautiful.
Oh my goodness, that bottom left picture really gets me! You made one cute little human, Nole! =)
oh my god she’s a beauty!!! So adorable!!!!
She’s precious! We don’t sleep much around here either but things have been much better ever since we read The Baby Whisperer! I always thought babies just went to sleep when they’re tired! Nope! My little one fights it and fights it but if we can catch her right at her first tired sign then we’re golden. Good luck + it does get even better! 🙂
Gosh, she is so so adorable! I’ve always wanted to mention that she looks like you. Hope you get some sleep!
She’s beautiful, Nole! And she totally has your mouth and chin, I love it! 🙂
oh my! she is sooo cute!!! <3
Such a sweet angel. I love the monkey pajamas. Those are a favorite around here, too! I second Emilia on The Baby Whisperer…life changing for me on those days when I thought I would never get the whole napping schedule thing figured out. Nights with more than 6 hours of sleep will come, I promise!
Oh my freaking goodness what a little cutie pie. I love the picture where she’s smiling… love love love!
Oh Nole, congrats! She’s such a sweetie like you. Oh So Beautiful Sophie. 🙂 – olive sophia
