Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Party

This past weekend we went to the Arboretum to take pictures in the pumpkin patch. Can you believe that Jeramy and I have never been to the Arboretum! We have been waiting until we had kids...well she is here. I think Sophia may have been the youngest baby there :) It is beautiful and I think we got some great pictures.

She pretty much slept the entire time!

In the Cinderella carriage :)

Our little pumpkin :)

Our friends Frank, Emily and Emerson had a Halloween costume party this past weekend. Well we didn't have a costume for Sophia but she did wear her Halloween onesie. We all had so much fun and Sophia got to meet some of her friends for the first time!

And last but not least, our friend Adrienne came to see us again! Here she is with Sophia :)

1 Month Old

Sophia turned 1 month old on Wednesday! I cannot believe our baby is already 1 month old, the time has flown by! We have already learned so much about Sophia in her first month of life. And while it is much more responsibility than we have ever had before, we have had so much fun with Sophia. We are so thankful to have this baby girl in our lives.

As of today, Sophia is still wearing newborn diapers and newborn and 0-3 month clothes. She really enjoys tummy time and her head control is pretty strong. She has become a lot more aware and started following us around with her eyes. Sophia has done pretty good with sleeping at night for the most part...she falls asleep at about 11:30 pm, wakes up for about an hour to eat, then falls asleep again at about 4am. We've had some off nights in between where she woke up twice or stayed awake longer than normal. We went to the doctor today and here are her stats:
Height: 20 3/4 inches (25-50%)
Weight: 9 pounds 2 ounces (50%)
Head: 14 1/4" (10-25%)

And here are some fun pictures!

I am 1 month!

Happy Birthday Pops! Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Sophia's Pops Birthday is October 12th and her Grandpa's Birthday is October 13th. We wanted to wish them both a Happy Birthday!! We love you both!

Sophia's First 2 Weeks

Sophia's first 2 weeks just flew by! We were so happy to come home with her from the hospital and our time at home with her has been wonderful so far! We just love her so much! The first 5 days or so at home were a little rough trying to figure out her cries and just getting adjusted to life with a baby and waking up all night. I never knew how hard it was to take a quick shower with a baby at home :) I do think we have all adjusted well though, and Sophia is such a good baby. She only cries when she is hungry...and she sure does let us know! She has started having a meal at 11pm and then again sometime between 2 and 4am, and then again between 7 and 8am. So we are still trying to figure out a schedule but I think we are doing good so far. Sophia loves being held and smiles all the time. We went to her dr. appt at 10 days and here are her stats:
Length: 19 3/4 inches (50%)
Weight: 7 pounds 3 ounces (25%) This is 0.5 ounce past her birth weight
Head: I don't remember, but I know it was 10-25%
