(Is Sophie happy or about to cry in this photo?? You be the judge!)
Sophie had a nice visit with her Grandma and Grandpa MacDougall this week. They had to leave on Saturday morning unfortunately but she can't wait to see them again soon. On Saturday afternoon, Sophie went to New Jersey (crossing state lines for the very first time in her life) to visit with her Great Grandmom Coll. Though she screamed the entire way over there in the car (who said all babies love drives) she calmed down once at Grandmom's and then napped the entire rest of the visit and even napped through two stores we took her in (Babies R Us and the new Buy Buy Baby). We got her a new bouncy seat which she seems to tolerate pretty well (as of today). After we were done shopping, she woke up with a vengeance though and I saw tears for the first time from my little girl. She was crying in the car seat and there were real tears streaming out of her right eye. Oh, I was so upset to see that. Poor thing!
As for sleeping, she had another tough night the first night Grandma and Grandpa MacDougall were here (though she only kept us up till about 2am or so as opposed to the 4am of the Friday before). Then, Thursday night she was fussy for several hours but went to sleep around 11pm and slept like a normal night after that. Every day is a new pattern. We're finding now that trying to get her to calm down during mid-day is tough. She seems to want to sleep and nap but usually can't seem to settle down. Sometimes she does settle down and naps for a few hours but usually she seems sort of overwhelmed and has trouble soothing herself into a good nap routine.
This next week will be the first full week at home alone for Mommy and Sophie. Wish us luck!!
