Getting Settled

Well we have been home a week and two days and life is just getting better. Sophie is still as wonderful as the day we meet and actually more so. She has had a big week. Her Grandma was here with us until Thursday, her Aunt Carrie and Uncle John came to visit and brought her some toys, and she had a full day out on Sunday meeting her great great grandmother (Granny T), her Great Uncle and Aunt Greg and Angela and her Cousins Carley and Lance, her good friend and surrogate gandmother Jackie, and then spent some time with Nana, PawPaw and the Shorts. She went on her first hay ride and got her first pumpkin.

At the pumpkin patch she had to go number two and did it all over herself so we had to do an open air cleaning and while we were changing her on a pallet made for pumpkins she discovered pine needles and covered herself in them!!

She has dicvoered her toungue and sticks it out at every possibility, she has dicovered laughter and gets her self so tickled she can hardly breath, she sat up yesterday after some help from mom and held herself up for about five minutes. She is going to be sitting up soon. This is good because she is nosey and she can position herself so she can see what is going on. I put together a string of alphabet letters yesterday for her to play with and she loves them. She sucked on them mostly but she entertained herself for a good 30 minutes with them.

It is just amazing how quickly children develope. It is so much fun wathcing her learn new things everyday. Although I love Chris very much and could not ask for a better husband and could not ask to feel more love for my husband. I could never fully imagine the love I feel for Sophie. She is so amazing and precious and I cannot wait to see the new things she learns everyday and the new things I am taught by her everday. Just seeing her smile and hearing her laugh makes the day. She truely is a gift that we have been given charge of and I only hope everyday I am doing the things that will help her be the best person she an be.

I have to go now as i is bottle time. Daddy is home with us todya but he has to run a few errands.
