On Thursday, I took Sophie to the Bryn Mawr Breast Feeding support group (as opposed to the West Philly one) because the group was throwing a baby shower for Patty's (a nurse from the Birth Center who teaches the breast-feeding classes and runs the breast-feeding support groups) daughter Kara who is expecting in July. There were tons of babies and mommies and pregnant ladies there and it was a big success. Sophie did really well the whole time at the meeting and the party but had a big freak out on the way home about half way through the car ride. It was a really hot day and the room in the party was really hot, too so I think she may have overheated a bit. When we got home, I put a cool cloth on her head and neck and nursed her and she eventually calmed down. But, man - was she upset. While there, I got to weigh her (Patty always brings a baby scale) and she is 11 lbs! I know I sound like a broken record already but wow, is she getting big. Every day she looks a little different to me as new parts of her are growing and changing. She seems really long, her feet seem bigger and her face seems to change by the moment. We noticed yesterday that were the top of her hairline was falling out before, it seems to be coming back in again. We shall see what new hair (or lack thereof) emerges next!
Yesterday, I got Sophie a new rattle at Target and she held it in her hands. I think this is the first toy she has been able to hold on her own. How exciting!!
Sophie has been doing really, really well lately. She cries so much less than before and just seems like a happier, more content baby overall. This is such a wonderful development and we thank you all for your love and support as we tried to help her through the "dark times" of her initial inconsolable crying.
