Big Milestones Saturday








Today is a BIG BIG day as Daddy was able to feed Sophie her first bottle! I have been pumping for a few days now and earlier attempts to get her to take the bottle were unsuccessful (turns out I had the Born Free (look Ma, no BPA!) bottle put together wrong - oops!). So, Jim got to enjoy feeding his daughter for the first time and the peace and happiness that comes from feeding your baby into a lulled happy sleep. As I type he is in the rocking chair with her over his shoulder and she has a full belly and is happy with the world.

Last night we also had a big outing - Sophie's first dinner party at Grandpa Greg's house. It went OK. Could have been better - could have been worse. Unfortunately, it was right at her bed time so she really just wanted to eat and and go to sleep. But, we managed to hang out until pretty late (about 10:30) and she ate and dozed some while I ate some (with one hand) and got to visit with our friend and colleague, Jean Francois, Greg, Judy and their son Matthew and his wife, Erin. Sophie looked incredibly cute in her party outfit (unfortunately we did not get a photo of her in it this time) and overall it was a nice visit. Not sure when we will attempt that again soon but when we do it will be much easier now that we can feed her from a bottle.

I am so happy that you are able to keep the photos updated. It's such a joy to see all of you. Sophia is growing and this is the next best way to be in touch. Give her a kiss for me. Love, Kathy
